WORLD October 19, 1999 VNN4969 Comment on this story Facing Death: Welcoming The Afterlife BY SRI NANDANANDANA DASA USA, Oct 19 (VNN) — NOW AVAILABLE - FACING DEATH: WELCOMING THE AFTERLIFE By Stephen Knapp--Sri Nandanandana dasa Have you ever had a friend who was afraid of death? Or did you ever know someone who was close to dying and fearful of what might happen and wanted some advice on what to do? Have you been at a loss for what to say to someone whose loved one had recently died? This is why this book has been written. I wanted to inform you of our latest publication called "Facing Death: Welcoming the After life." Many people are afraid of death, or do not know how to prepare for it nor what to expect. So this book is provided to relieve anyone of the fear that often accompanies the thought of death, and to supply a means to more clearly understand the purpose of it and how we can use it to our advantage. It will also help the survivors of the departed souls to better understand what has happened and how to cope with it. Furthermore, it shows that death is not a tragedy, but a natural course of events meant to help us reach our destiny. This book is easy to read, with soothing and comforting wisdom, along with stories of people who have been with departing souls and what they have experienced. It is written especially for those who have given death little thought beforehand, but now would like to have some preparedness for what may need to be done regarding the many levels of the experience and what might take place during the transition. To assist you in preparing for your own death, or that of a loved one, you will find guidelines for making one's final days as smooth as possible, both physically and spiritually. Preparing for death, no matter what stage of life you are in, can transform your whole outlook in a positive way, if understood properly. This will make things clearer in regard to what matters most in this life, especially when you know the remainder of your life may be short. It is like looking into the Truth of yourself, and taking a pilgrimage to the edge of the spiritual dimension. Such Truth exists beyond the temporary body and physical perception. Some of the topics in the book include: The fear of death and learning to let go * The opportunity of death: The portal into the next life * This earth and this body are no one's real home, so death is natural * Being practical and dealing with the final responsibilities * Forgiving yourself and others before you go * Being the assistant of one leaving this life * Connecting with the person inside the disease * Surviving the death of a loved one * Stories of being with dying, and an amazing near-death-experience * Connecting to the spiritual side of death * What happens while leaving the body * What difference the consciousness makes during death, and how to attain the best to reach the highest * How to use the Hare Krishna mantra to reach the highest realm in the next life. So no matter whether you are afraid of death or concerned about surviving the death of a loved one, or are worried about those that you will leave behind if you depart, or what death will be like and how to prepare for it, this book will help you.
