In this episode, Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai dives directly into what He refers to as the main question posed by Nachiketa.
It is the very essence of Kathopanishad.
“Tell me whether That exists or not because it cannot be touched, tasted, smelled nor heard?
So how do I know if It exists?”
We are all doubtful about it.
Scientists may say It does not exist.
But Lord Yama says there is something that exists beyond the senses and the mind.
So, is it true or is it not true?
That is the million dollar question of Nachiketa.
That is what the Kathopanishad teaches us.

Kathopanishad is one of the 10 principal upanishads which present the essence and culmination of all knowledge found within India’s most ancient and sacred texts; the vedas. It is a dialogue…
It is believed that listening to the upanishads is the first step towards discovering our unique spiritual path to liberation. In 2020, Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai gave a series of talks over the course of a month, which methodically and thoroughly explained the significance of the Kathopanishad and its relevance to us in our lives. This podcast series is compiled from those talks.
