In the form of a dialogue between Naciketas and Lord Yama (Lord of Death), the KATHA Upanisad covers all the important topics in Vedanta, like preparedness of mind, the need for proper teaching, the cause-effect relationship and the final equation of essential identity of the individual and the Lord, Ishvara, which leaves nothing to be desired.

Pujya Swamiji taught this KATHA Upanisad with Shankara Bhasyam during the 4th long-term course at AVG Anaikatti, from 16th April to 31st October 2011.

Swami Dayananda taught this Katha Upanisad with Shankara Bhasyam to the students of the 4th long-term course at AVG Anaikatti from 2010-2013.

During long-term courses students also study Sanskrit and Pujya Swamiji uses the Sanskrit language without explaining every word or sentence.

An appropriate knowledge of Sanskrit is therefore indispensable to follow this series of talks.
