Description

In today’s morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda continues his interpretation of Nachiketagni, the child who triumphed over Yama, God of Death, as described in the 19th and 20th slokas of Katopanishad. Nachiketa asks to have the mystery of death explained to him so he can help the world. Yama pleads with him to ask a different boon, claiming that this knowledge is too subtle for a child. Nithyananda points out the inauthenticity of Yama’s argument, which is more evasion than explanation. When faced with such excuses, all beings should reflect back the same reasoning to infuse authenticity into the situation. This is what Nachiketa does by saying that Yama is such a great teacher, He can even make a child understand these great secrets.
