Let us THINK : By Dr.King

Pause Many of us are so busy that we hardly have any time to die ;-) But death and tax spare none. Though it is difficult to prove that death is inevitable, that happens to be one of the truths all of us seem to accept. We all die one day. What happens when that inevitable thing finally comes about? Have you ever wondered?

Pause In the previous episode, we started with the story of Nachiketa. This boy marched to abode of death just to keep his father’s word.

Pause After spending several months with the herd of cattle, our boy Satyakama finally returned to his teacher. What happened then? Did the teacher teach him at least then?

Pause In the previous post, I described how various creatures – bull, fire, swan and a waterbird – all came one after the other and tried to teach Satyakama something. But what exactly were they trying to convey?

Pause In the previous post, I mentioned about strange happenings that happened in the life of Satyakama. What were these strange happenings?

Pause In the previous post we saw how the teacher Gautama arrived at the parentage of Satyakama, a son of a single mother Jabala. Gautama concluded that Satyakama must have been born to a Brahmin since he did not hesitate to speak the most dreadful truth of his life. Gautama even admitted him to his school. But did he actually teach him?

Pause Let us continue our story of Satyakama that we started in the previous post.

Pause Imagine how a mother would feel when her own son asks her this question. Today, single motherhood is not uncommon. So this question may not upset many a single mother. But I am talking about a mother who probably lived 5000 years ago.

Pause Today I am starting a new series namely “Insightful stories from Upanishads”. As I have been doing earlier, I hope to talk to you twice a week, every Wednesday and Friday.

Pause In the previous discussion we saw how all paths we have been talking about, lead to the same destination. But is any of these paths better than the others? Or are they all equally good?

Pause For the past four and half months, we have been discussing various interesting topics from one of the most well known of the Indian scriptures namely the Bhagavadgeetha.

Pause In today’s book talk I am going to discuss about my book “Yoga Facts: Answers to some important questions about Yoga”.
