Katha Upanishad on Nachiketas’ tryst with death
The reflections of the Upanishad are woven into the story of a ten-year-old boy, Nachiketa, who is wished away to Yama, the god of death, in a fit of rage by his father Gautam, while in the middle of a sacrificial ceremony. The dialogue between Yama- the God of death- and Nachiketa is amongst the earliest expositions of the theory of transmigration and rebirth. Watch to know the interrelationship of life and death.
