Katha Upanishad, The First, Foremost Document About Death
Katha Upanishad revelations begin today by Paramahamsa Nithyananda from the land of Visvanatha, Shiva at Varanasi on 10th May, 2015. Amidst the joy of being Shiva, at the Inner Awakening program, He invokes the presence of Mahadeva, Yama Dharma, the Lord of Death to reveal the naked truth as IT IS without any prepositions and suppositions, to let the whole Universe realise the Reality. With the Shanti Mantra, Peace Invocation, he introduces this third Upanishad as—the Vedic Book of Death not just the book of dead for those who follow the Vedic tradition, where Yama Dharma is the most compassionate Master to a small Brahmin boy, Naciketa. auṁ saha nāvavatu | saha nau bhunaktu | saha vīryam karvāvahai | tejasvi nāvadhītamastu mā vidviṣāvahai || auṁ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ || Speaking from his own Death experience at Manikarnika Ghat, he authenticates the Truth of Kathopanishad, where Yama Dharma is the natural flow (yama) and natural law (dharma) of Existence. Stare into the eyes of Death, Dive into Death—He says, for that is the secret to receive Death as a compassionate teacher, God and not Its terrorised form when it comes at the time of death. By staring into His eyes, just like Buddha and Naciketa did, we will feel free, naked, Nirvana with Yama Dharma, the most mysterious and the most experienced, available power, who never lets the limelight fall on Him and yet continues to magically play in our lives.
