The Story of Nachiketa - Pravrajika Divyanandaprana | Katha Upanishad

- Vājashravasa, desiring a gift from the gods, started an offering to donate all his possession which is called as ' SARVA DAKSHINA'. But Nachiketa, his son, noticed that Vajashravasa was donating only the cows that were old, barren, blind, or lame;[5] not such as might buy the worshiper a place in heaven. Nachiketa wanting the best for his father's rite, asked: "I too am yours, to which god will you offer me?". After being pestered thus, Vājashravasa answered in a fit of anger, "I give you to Death (Yama)".
So Nachiketa went to Death's home, but the god was out, and he waited three days without any food or water. When Yama returned, he was sorry to see that a Brahmin guest had been waiting so long without food and water. In Indian culture guests are believed to be equal to god and causing trouble to god is a great sin. To compensate his mistake, Yama told Nachiketa, "You have waited in my house for three days without hospitality, therefore ask three boons from me". Nachiketa first asked for peace for his father and himself. Yama agreed. Next, Nachiketa wished to learn the sacred fire sacrifice, which also Yama elaborated. For his third boon, Nachiketa wanted to learn the mystery of what comes after death.
Yama was reluctant on this question. He said that this had been a mystery even to the gods. He asked Nachiketa to ask for some other boon, and offered many material gains.
But Nachiketa replied that material things will last only till tomorrow. He who has encountered Death personally, how can he desire wealth? No other boon would do. Yama was secretly pleased with this disciple, and elaborated on the nature of the true Self, which persists beyond death. The key of the realization is that this Self is inseparable from Brahman, the supreme spirit, the vital force in the universe. Yama's explanation is a succinct explication of Hindu metaphysics, and focuses on the following points:
~ The sound Om! is the syllabus of the Supreme Brahman
~ The Atma, whose symbol is Om is the same as the omnipresent Brahman. Smaller than the smallest and larger than the largest, the Soul is formless and all-pervading.
~ The goal of the wise is to know this Atma.
~ The Atma is like a rider; the horses are the senses, which he guides through the maze of desires.
~ After death, it is the Atma that remains; the Atman is immortal.
~ Mere reading of the scriptures or intellectual learning cannot realize Atma.
~ One must discriminate the Atma from the body, which is the seat of desire.
~ Inability to realize Brahman results in one being enmeshed in the cycle of rebirths. Understanding the Self leads to moksha
Thus having learned the wisdom of the Brahman from Yama, Nachiketa was freed from the cycle of births.

So many translations available which one is recommended for Kathopunishad, in English is preferred. Also with some commentary would be nice. Thank You

On listening to her I realize that I don't know anything at all, just studying and passing University exams to get a job is not enough.I think I have been cheated by the education system in India.She is so lucky to have the true knowledge from the right guru.
no one cheats u other than ur own mind.
I totally agree. Am disgusted with the slave making education system.
Very true
Yes. Because it is 100% formal education where everything is fixed.
It almost impossible to get a true Guru .we think that we have got a true Guru but in the long run we repent.
16:07 the famous chariot analogy... 🙏🙏🙏
I am really happy I accidentally heard her, after Swami Chinmayananda she has given me so much to think
This is deep and profound! Greetings from Germany!!
She is brilliant superior mind, as an old teacher I admire how she masters her subject to make a 30 minute course without any hesitation and with a great presence
चरण स्पर्श , देवी आचार्य। आप अदभुत हैं। मैं आपको ही सुनना चाहता हूं क्योंकि आप संस्कृत की धनी हैं। And your teaching is superb!💐
Madam you are a great soul on this earth having profound knowledge of Holly books. You are having full command on English as well as Sanskrit
First of all I would like to pay a great tribute and honour to this great powerful saint who has crystal clearly defined the life philosophy of human. I actually indebted to her for her most wanted lectures which enriched us and drove away all darkness of mind.
Immediately after hearing few seconds first i subscribed to the great channel and wish to be a part of these discourses as far as possible may be we are geographically seperated. Excellent flow of steady and crystal clear and precised explanations with an eloquence on sanskrit really she is great sole need to know more about this channel and organisation. Koti koti pranam to the saraswathi in her.
Excellent teachings of Nachiketa by Swami .
Mind blowing!!!
Right on the Target!
No unneeded jokes in between!
Straight to the Point!
Tasyai Sri gurumurthaye namaH idam Sri dakshinaamurthaye!!!
Hungry for more from you! 😍🙏🕉️💐
Blessed to hear this
Swaminiji speaks so lucidly
Between the preferable and pleasurable, the one that is preferable - should be choosen. Him whom the Atman chooses - to him he reveals everything. Katha upanishad. Human life is like a chariot ride : the horses are the senses, the reins are the Mind, the charioteer being the intellect, the chariot is the body and the rider being the atman itself. Some amount of control is needed at every aspect of the ride, to reach the destination - the higher goal in life.
Yoga & meditation should be inculcated in young minds to make this world peaceful & prosperous!
Public comments. Mata swasartie bless you Mataji. You are an awesome person who inspired many people to think about life and it's journey. Continue the great legacy 🙏.

Thank You Mother ! 🚩
It Helps 🕉️
Our life is turned into heaven when our Shreyas and Preyas resemble. We no more need to do the stuff we don't like, and whatever we like to do are the things that we actually should do.
She is like an abode of spirituality. Pranam to you.
Listening to your kind self, expounding profound truths from our ancient hoary scriptures and traditions-reminds us of the words of the great prophet of Modern India and the World-Swami Vivekananda; Quote :-
Spirituality, sacrifice, and self-control will be the motto of the pupils of this Math, and service or Sevâ-dharma the vow of their life. In view of such ideal lives, who will not respect and have faith in them? If the life of the women of this country be moulded in such fashion, then only will there be the reappearance of such ideal characters as Sitâ, Sâvitri and Gârgi.
[Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda, Volume 7, Diary of a Disciple(conversations and dialogue with Sarat Chandra Chakravarthy) ]
Seeing and hearing Revered Matha ji's talks, it feels like Swamiji's prophecies are coming true one by one viz.
" ...there be the reappearance of such ideal characters as Sitâ, Sâvitri and Gârgi."
Sister, you emit so much of motherly love , I feel like being nurtured ..

During childhood , these stories were part of our education but now ppl , if asked they never heard these and also totally apathetic. Not common, even from Brahmin’s family ( whose father was priest in temple).
It’s shocking.
Very nice, the seal of truth is simplicity. That's it 👍🙏
Yes, you are right

thank you...
The cause of all miseries we have have in this world is that we foolishly think pleasure to be ideal to strive for, After a time we find that it is not happiness, but the knowledge, toward which we are going ,and that both pleasure and pain are great teachers and that we learn as much from evil as from good Swamij
Maaaa...... Just you are great 🙏
It is all my Vivekananda. The human who came and educated. my own on earth. My son's name is Vivekananda . So the eternal soul and spirit will be alive with me for ever

exelent explanation i salute
Excellent.
After watching your video, I seek to learn Sanskrit, want to learn all the Slokas, Vedas
अभिवादनम्
"Him whom the atman choose to him he will reveal himself" It means one's destiny. It supports determinism against free will.
If you want to be stuck with free will,you will never get moksha.You have control all your will to merge ataman with pram brahmana
I heard OM within me..... It's in me all the time...+ a Jhiiiiiiii sound is there also.....
Om.....
Wah.... 💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I can't help it I in love with you Ma. God first ... I know nothing... Love in 3... All I am... All we are... I know your voice... The underlying... For ever I've known you... I miss you...

Simply wow
Well explained,!
PD talking about knowledge of the self is also talked about a lot in Gnosticism too.
🙏🏻
Music to my ears..🎼🎵🎶🎸
Great
I think maybe YamaJi wasn’t there because it was not the prescribed time for Nacheketas to die which is why Nacheketas asked to have the boon of having his father forgive and accept him when he returns. Just a thought. 💙
Nice and interested to hear puranas , in-depth ,only essence .
Excellent
Pranam Maa
