General definition (in Hinduism)
: WikiPedia: HinduismThe Katha Upanishad (K膩峁環aka), also titled "Death as Teacher", is one of the mukhya ("primary") Upanishads commented upon by Shankara and Madhva. It contains passages that suggest contact with Buddhist ideas, so was likely composed after the fifth century BCE. It consists of two chapters (adhy膩yas), each divided into three sections (vallis) that contain between 15 and 29 verses (艣lokas) apiece. The Katha has some passages in common with the Gita. According to modern scholars, it propounds a dualistic philosophy. Katha may be the most widely known amongst all the Upanishads.
Content: The Upanishad uses as its base the story of Vajashravasa (啶掂ぞ啶溹ざ啷嵿ぐ啶掂じ啶�), which was first mentioned in the Rigveda (10. 135), and also in the Taittiriya Brahmana (3.1.8), and later the Mahabharata (Anusasana Parva 106).
: VedaRahasya: HinduismThis Upanishad forms part of the Kata Shaaka (branch) of Krishna Yajur Veda. Hence, it is called as the Kato-Upanishad. The subject dealt in this Upanishad viz., the Naciketa Upaagyaana also finds place in the Taittriya Braahmana.
This Upanishad consists of two main parts divided further into six chapters. In the first chapter, one finds the story and history of Naciketas and the boons he requested from Yama, the Lord of Death; the second chapter mentions the characteristics required of a liberation aspirant and about the path to liberation; the third chapter contains the relation between the Jivatma and the Paramatma and the manner in which the Jiva can overcome death successfully; the fourth, fifth and sixth chapters reinstate the contents of the earlier chapters in a much authoritative way and also relate about re-birth, the way in which a Yogi should leave his body behind etc.,
