Oam shanty, Shanty, Shanty, Shanty.

Ome, may the Lord protect us both teacher and taught together.

May the Lord give us the result of our study.

May the Lord make our study illuminating. May we not

cavil at each other. Ome, peace, peace, peace. So we are studying the Katoopanition. and we are at an interesting place in the dialogue.

The dialogue between the little boy Nachi Keta who is the student and the Lord of Death, Yama

Raja who is the Lord of Death, the God of, and he's the teacher.

And we remember that the little boy asked for three boons.

I mean, he was offered three boons and he asked three things.

One was to take care of his worldly affairs, that his father, who was mad at him, that he shouldn't be angry with me anymore.

I'll go back home and meet my

father. Everything should be fine in our family. And the second boon he asked for was the best possible

Vedic ritual, which will give him the highest heaven possible. That's the kind of religion he was

familiar with. He had seen his parents and everybody in the community doing those rituals.

The Vedic karma khanda, the ritualistic portion of the Vedas, and the best possible karma kanda ritual.

And Iama teaches him that.
