KATHOPANISHAD[DIALLOUGES BETWEEN YAMA ANDNACHIKETA]

Yama is the lord of death. It is his duty to see that people are rightly judged.He sits in judgement on the actions of all living beings.A young seeker after truth dares go to to the god of death for knowing the truth about nature of human soul and it's destiny. BY constant questioning and by a simple straight forward question of his own, he persuades Yama to part with mystic knowlrdge about soul and supreme spirit. He also gets the course of the pathway to the realization of great truth.It is this pathway that later devoloped into the more scientific Yoga school of Patanjali. This story describes the adventure of young Nachiketa.
