About this listen

Ever wish you could speak with Death?
One boy did.

In The Katha Upanishad 101, bestselling author and spiritual alchemist Dr. Matthew Barnes (author of The Emerald Tablet 101, The Kybalion 101, The Hermetica 101, and The Tao Te Ching 101) brings new life to one of India's most profound spiritual classics.

This is the tale of Nachiketa, a bold twelve-year-old who dares to confront the Lord of Death and demand answers to life's deepest question: What happens after we die?

What follows is no myth. It's a message—a mirror—for all who seek truth beyond the noise.

In this modern guide to ancient wisdom, you'll uncover:

  • The razor's edge path between illusion and enlightenment.
  • The secret sacrifice required for inner transformation.
  • The bliss that waits on the other side of fear.

The Katha Upanishad speaks in symbols—two paths, one outward, chasing pleasure and loss; the other inward, toward grace, silence, and the soul's eternal home. Barnes decodes these symbols with clarity and care, offering a translation that is both practical and powerful.

Whether you're a seeker, a skeptic, or simply someone who knows there's more—this book is a compass for the soul.

Brave enough to ask the question? Courageous enough to hear the answer?
