Jews, Christ, and Hindu Theism - Anatman - Katha Upanishad

In the Katha Upanishad, young Nachiketas is sacrificed by his father Vajasravasa to Yama, Lord of Death, and earns three boons after waiting three nights without hospitality; he uses the first two for his father's peace and a heavenly fire ritual, then insists on the third—knowledge of what happens after death—rejecting Yama’s temptations of wealth, long life, and pleasures. Yama then teaches him the eternal nature of the Self (Atman), its unity with Brahman, the cosmological ladder rising from senses through mind, intellect, and the Great to the ineffable Quiet Person, and the path of meditation, yoga, and inner realization that liberates one from death and leads to immortality. Here we explore how these concepts tie in with various religious theological themes.
