About this episode

In this Hindu myth, Nachiketa maintains a quest for spiritual truth even while facing his father’s anger and a literal near-death experience. He reminds us to awaken our inner resolve. Indian spirituality teaches us that sometimes to get anything worthwhile in life we must embrace a childlike, stubborn refusal to yield.
