Okk, I'll read it soon. Lets see if it gives some clarity.
If you want to get some idea, you should read Katha Upanishad.
Because Lord krishna quoted some of the slokas from this upanishad in his Gita.

Gita is like a gate way to our legacy and ancestors.

OK. But aur kya kya padhu. Already reading 3 books. Many others lined up.

Seriously though, I will try to find time for this one.

Don't worry.
I will give digested version of it. Blame my free time.

Nichiketa, a brahmin kid, wants to teach a lesson to his dad who is very greedy guy.
So he tricks his dad and ends up as sacrifice to Yama.

The important conversation starts between those two. Yama explains many things to the child. The knowledge includes Brahman and many more.

There is a fire named nichiketa that is given as boon to the kid by Yama. When you do yagna and do sacrifice to nichiketa, you will get some benefits.

Overall the whole saga is beautiful and great. It also gives you some insight into old life style of our ancestors.

Oh yes, I remember my "nana" telling me this story when I was a child. I don't remember the conversation b/w the two though. I will read it later.

I've never read any Upanishad, but always hungry to read such stories. Is it from katha upanishad ?

Even a (mostly) agnostic guy like me has heard of that story.

I think I read it in Rajaji's abridged Mahabharat.

Good old memories?

You are one lucky guy.
Hell yes. I used to go to my nana's village every other weekend and used to sleep on the roof under the night sky full of stars. He used to tell us a short story every night either from Mahabharata, Ramayana, about Swarga lok, specific stories of Brahma Dev, Shiva etc.

Loved that time of my life.

I too had some of the best moments in my life at my grandma's home.

I pity our next generation though.

Try watching the Greatest Story Never Told by Dennis Wise if you want to know the gist of why hitler did what he did. The guy used the swastika as an anti communist symbol symbolizing the solar way of the eternal and traditional as apposed to the lunar way of communism, leftism, democracy and degeneracy in short: truth. which is what the swastika is supposed to represent if im not mistaken as well as total and complete victory.

They are associating with us, not Indian. Himmler believed in the Krishna's message of Karma.

More over, threre is nothing wrong to be associated with Germans. Minus the Nazi part.
What's specially worng with Nazi's? They are as bad as Soviets, Brits and US.
