Katha Upanishad

Book • 1928
The Katha Upanishad is a philosophical text embedded in the Krishna Yajurveda.

It consists of two chapters, each divided into three sections, and explores themes such as the existence of Atman, the pursuit of Self-knowledge, and the attainment of moksha.

The text is presented as a dialogue between Nachiketa, a young boy, and Yama, the god of death.

It emphasizes the importance of seeking Self-knowledge and understanding the nature of the Self and the ultimate reality, Brahman.

The Upanishad is significant in Hindu philosophy, particularly in the Vedanta tradition, and has been interpreted in both dualistic and non-dualistic contexts.
