Mystery of Death: by Swami Abhedananda

Mystery of Death by Swami Abhedananda is a study of the Katha Upanishad and its dialogue between Nachiketa and Yama, the ruler of death. It explores questions about mortality, the self and spiritual realization from a Vedantic perspective.

Published by Ramakrishna Vedanta Math, the book considers the distinction between the changing body and the enduring Self, along with ideas about knowledge, consciousness and Brahman. Its account of immortality is a philosophical and religious teaching, not an empirically established description of life after death.
