There is a chapter in the Hindu
epic, Mahabharata, where Yaksha questions Yudhisthira, the eldest son of Kunti
and Pandav. Yaksha asks a total eighteen questions with philosophical ramification. Though all eighteen
questions are thought provoking, one question that often leads a great
mystery of this universe is ‘death’. The question is, ‘what
is the greatest wonder?’ Yudhishthira answers, ‘day after day, countless
people die, yet we wish to live forever. O Lord, what can be a greater wonder?’
Yes, the questions related to life and death
are like a wonder to us and we try to find their answers through different
philosophies. One of the most powerful philosophies that people believe in is the existence of God. God is the one who controls our life and death. As a
youngster, this topic of ‘life,
death, and God’ haunts many. Some even give up their materialistic life to find
the answer to this mystery. We have thousands of examples where people
abandoned their regular life to seek the answers of life, death, and God. This
chapter is for all such youngsters who often find themselves in the middle of
such thoughts and feel restless.
