Vedas 37 - Kathopanishad - Part I D - The Third Boon Comments

At times we get distracted by the surroundings and the pleasure of this life and pay less attention towards the end result, this is a wonderful example of concentration and focus we often talk about. Nice point to ponder on.

In third boon Nachiketa wanted to receive the knowledge from Lord of Death, Yama, about What happens to man after he dies But Yama did not agree to offer this knowledge easily and put Nachiketa in many tests. This theme has been so asuttely and incisively inscribed by you, dear madam, in 'Vedas 37 - Kathopanishad - Part I D' which is interesting to read over and over again. Many thanks for posting this beautiful poem. Full vote.

I must admit, you have created a spellbinding poem about The Third Boon and how! To write this poem in a precise way, you have to read carefully and repeatedly and that amazes me, since when I started to read this, it is so spellbinding that I cannot stop before I finished reading. All appreciations and respect for you Dr. Geeta, I have enjoyed a very lot this profound telling and it reminds me much at the Biblical history of the Garden of Eden

How succinct are the queries of Nachiketaa and the efforts of Yama to dissuade him from his quest. But Nachiketaa politely says- I certainly, do not desire..... Any of these objects of pleasure (being transient) . Thanks, Geeta ji, for a very fine presentation of a difficult section of the story. I would like to quote: Ask not for this boon, Nachiketaa! Ask for anything else! ..... That makes me more determined! ..... Kindly teach me, O! Learned Sir! ..... On the Secrets of Death!
