Śivadyuti (शिवद्युति)

Kaṭhopaniṣad 0—A Dialog with Death


Listen Later

The Katha Upanishad is a dialogue with death. The meaning of Katha with the dot under the T, the ordinary Katha without the dot means like stories, past times, instructions even, or things that were done, you know, like histories in the past. But Katha with the dot underneath it, when it's pronounced properly, it means distress.


I had to dig deep into the Sanskrit dictionaries to find this. It means distress, but it's also a name of Shiva. So Shiva is death.
