NDEs (near-death experiences) may have gained interest in the past few decades, but they were well documented in the Bhagavata Purana thousands of years ago.
What does the near-death experience teach us? The history of Ajamila is dramatic, powerful, and engaging. And the sharp philosophical and metaphysical debates that punctuate the action as Ajamila confronts the messengers of death and finds deliverance are bound to excite the interest of those concerned with life's deepest questions.
From the back cover:
At the final hour…
The law of karma states that we’re all responsible for out actions, and death is the crucial moment when mysterious forces acting according to this law work behind the scenes to determine our destiny.
At a tie when reincarnation is quickly gaining acceptance, not only with the growing ranks of people reporting out-of-body and near-death experiences but with the public at large, A Second Chance is indispensable to our daily lives.
The amazing narrative is based on an ancient book of Eastern wisdom called Srimad-Bhagavatam. It shows us how we can employ the techniques of meditation and bhakti-yoga to overcome the obstacles of materialism, meet the challenge of death, and ultimately attain spiritual perfection.
