Life Here and Hereafter: Kathopanishad

Description

“What exists after death? Explain it to me” insists the young student Nachiketa as he puzzles over this supreme mystery in Kathopanishad. Swami Rama’s penetrating commentary on the ensuing dialogue between Nachiketa and Yama, king of Death, reveals a clear, profound philosophy of death and immortality.

Raised since early childhood by the great Himalayan sage Bengali Baba, Swami Rama draws upon the wisdom he gathered from the hidden Himalayan adepts with whom he studied, as well as his mastery of esoteric yogic practices, to share his experiential knowledge of death and what lies beyond. This approach makes this book uniquely valuable, for as he states, “those attain the highest knowledge and immortality by reaching the state of super-consciousness, they alone can unravel the mystery of death.”

Available again after many years, this book shares practical guidance on how to understand the various level of consciousness and conquer the fear of death by learning to walk on the path of immortality.
