to 28. In this Issue, we present Part 5 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 Dharma- putra-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)
