A Second Chance

NDEs (near-death experiences) may have gained interest in the past few decades, but they were well documented in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam thousands of years ago. What does the near-death experience teach us? The sharp philosophical and metaphysical debates that punctuate the action as Ajāmila confronts the messengers of death and finds deliverance are bound to excite the interest of those concerned with life’s deepest questions. The narrative, which is based on the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam shows the techniques of meditation and bhakti-yoga (science of devotion) to meet the challenge of death, and ultimately attain spiritual perfection.
