(By Sri M.K. Ramaswamy Iyengar Swami- Retired Senior Officer of

Govt. of India)

The first 2 Parts of this series on this subject appeared in Issues

25 and 26. In this Issue, we present Part 3 thereof.

 

EDITOR'S NOTE:

The " Yaksha Prasnam " is an important topic in which very many

esoteric truths are discussed in a conversation between Dharma in

the form of a Yaksha and Dharmaputra-Yudishtira. Though Yaksha's

questions and Yudishtira's replies may appear on the face of it

simple and commonplace, there is deeper philosophical significance

beneath them. There are about 125 Questions and Answers that reveal

these in a subtle manner but with deep undercurrent of practical

wisdom. The author who has done intense research on the subject

brings to light these aspects in simple, clear and understandable

English, for our benefit.
