do anyone here know abt nachikethas,
he is a child mentioned in katho upanishad{also known as katha upanishad} in hinduism.
this upanishad is saying tht heaven is only a world in other dimension and there too people or gods all have death,but the real immortal situation is with brahmom,
which means tht swarga in hindu concept is a world of another dimension,it says tht heaven is the world were devaas{gods} can be found,so i think the gods in hinduism are aliens which helped hinduism to grow,
naraka means hell which consists of asuras means the worl were we can see evils means it is a world in other dimension consisting aliens who are against this world,
but my real doubt is about nachikethagni,it is said in tht upanishad tht there is a devise known as nachikethagni which helps us to visit swarga,means there is a device which can be used for us to travel to another dimension,is there any explanation to this nachikethagni???

I have no idea. This is the first time I am hearing of nachikethas. I am a Hindu myself but I don’t believe in the concept of heaven and hell. To me, these are just creations of imaginations to keep people on the right track in life.
However, regarding other dimensions, well western science fiction does mention other dimensions but nothing has been proved as yet. Hinduism is a very ancient and wise religion and has a strong scientific base. Many inventions of later times have similarities of many things mentioned in Hindu scriptures. So if there is a mention of other dimensions, I would not be surprised if such dimensions really exist.

i have read upon nachikethas a the name is not strange to me , but i can't recall it it correctly....The heven and hell being other dimensions and Devas being aliens was also proposed by Erich von daniken , author of chariot of gods..i think there is a mention of nachikethas in his book...
