Leben, Tod und Unsterblichkeit – Von der Unvergänglichkeit der Seele

The Katha Upanishad - Death as a teacher
How can death be defeated? This is the question that preoccupies the twelve-year-old Brahmin boy Nachiketa more than anything else when he meets the god of death, Yama. Impressed by Nachiketa's courage, Yama reveals to him the deepest wisdom of existence: we humans are one with everything that exists, one with the highest and immortal. Death, as the god of death himself teaches, is an illusion. The Katha Upanishad's message of the immortality of the soul is considered the essence of Indian spiritual thought. Ralph Skuban's easily accessible reinterpretation, which also incorporates the latest findings on dying, makes the classic source text tangible and tangible for our modern times.
The Katha Upanishad is so special for yoga enthusiasts because it contains the earliest known definition of yoga. This arises from a conversation between the boy Nachiketa (the son of the sage Vajasravasa) and Yama, the god of death.
A new approach and a captivating insight into the wisdom of the ancient texts.
