DEATH is a great enigma, perhaps the greatest which has baffled man from the earliest of times. It is because of this that thinkers and scholars all over the world, and , in all ages, have written about it. It is not at all strange that the Kathopanishad has attracted the attention of people in all countries, for, it discusses the problem of Death. Almost all religious philosophies have dealt with this subject from their respective angles. Much has been written about Death, about survival after Death and about communication with the dead in modern times. Among the large number of books written on Death by scholars of our times, there is nothing so illuminating as the exposition of the subject contained in modern theosophical literature.
