    The Pursuit of Power and Freedom: Katha Upanishad

    The Pursuit of Power and Freedom is a new translation of the Katha Upanishad. This book contains extensive dialogue and commentary between an accomplished master, Yamaraja, and an ardent seeker, Nachiketa. Their burning desire to unveil the mysteries of life enabled them to invest all their resources—physical, mental, and spiritual—in the effort to transcend death.

    Step by step, Yamaraja tests Nachiketa's preparedness, eventually imparting Brahma vidya, the science and knowledge of the highest truth, to his student.

    According to the ancient yogic scriptures, the realization that Yamaraja imparts is absolute and transcendental—the essence of our soul. In order to receive this gift, we learn the steps necessary to prepare ourselves: how to cultivate a clear, calm, and tranquil mind; release the grip of our desires; shake off our inertia; and nurture a compassionate heart.
