4. “FROM MAHABHARATA – “YAKSHA PRASNAM” –Part 12

(Prasnam 36 to 39 )

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

India)

-------

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)

5. SRIMAD RAHASYA TRAYA SAARAM –

THE PEERLESS PRECEPTOR- PART 13
