About the Book

Death is the one eternal verity of life. One thing is certain - we shall cease to live on this earth one day. But what is death? What follows after? Is death the absolute end? These are all unanswered questions.

This book will dispel your fears and doubts and cast a light over the darkness of death. lucidly, with anecdotes, stories and real-life incidents, Dada J.P. Vaswani shows us that death is not to be feared, but it is an aspect of existence that we have to come to terms with. In his inimitable words, we have to "cultivate friendship with death .

This book is a compilation of a series of lectures delivered by Dada Vaswani. They elucidate his simple yet practical solutions about how we should live our lives, how we can prepare ourselves for the life hereafter, and how we can attain illumination after death.

This is a book for seekers of truth, especially those who have suffered bereavement at the loss of their loved ones, and will bring comfort and a profound understanding of the mystery that is death.

Publishers' Note

Most of us live in the fear of death. It is not uncommon that the mere mention of the word “death" causes tension to many. Fear of death is usually caused by the feeling that the individual has not earned his conscious immortality, which in turn increases his fear of the Unknown. Another reason is that death comes as a break in the continuity of physical life, a parting from things that he has held dear and the uncertainty of the future. This fear must go!

Nothing is certain in this mad. tempestuous atmosphere of modern life- nothing but death. Everyone must die one day. Come you may: go you must! We are all moving closer to the hour of death, which provides freedom from the turmoil, changes and uncertainties of physical life.

Thus it is necessary that we know something more about what is certainly going to come upon us - dearth.

Is dearth the end of an things? Does life end with the end of the physical body? If not, what happens to us after dearth? Where does the individual soul go? What does it do? What are heaven and hen? Answers to these and many other questions can be got from this most inspiring and interesting book. 0

Death is a friend of man. There is a true story given by a girl whose mother was about to pass away. "Her eyes opened; they looked straight into mine. 'I am in God's hands now, and it is so wonderful! As she was saying this, she seemed bathed in light. As I stared at her, the mysterious radiance enveloped me as well. I said to her, 'Do you mean, mother, that you see God?' And she answered, 'Yes, face to face, and it is so important that everyone knows. It's so wonderful!'

"What's so wonderful? Tell me!"

"Millions and millions of people,' she began slowly. 'So many millions ... and all on different levels. There is light... light everywhere- so much light! Tell them, the glory of God, it is so wonderful!'

"These were the last words which mother spoke.

Her eyes dosed, but the smile did not fade."

This is only one example that proves that the state of death is painless and wonderful.

Everything happens according to the Great Cosmic Will of God- including death. And God is concerned and loves each one of us. And there is good in everything He plans for us and our evolution.

The after-death states of the human being are largely determined by what he thinks during his last moments. The dominating thoughts of the life just ending, crowd into these last moments and hold the attention of the human. He has made them and so they rule his destiny, his condition after death, and the span of his next life. It is imperative, therefore, that man thinks of the Infinite, his God, at the last moment, but this may not happen unless the thoughts of God are imprinted on his consciousness many times before his death.

The fact that man's days are numbered requires him to awaken out of his dreamy slumber and recognise the power of his being and the limitlessness of his self.

The series of lectures that have been compiled to make this book, were delivered by Dada J.P. Vaswani on the Sadhu Vaswani Mission Campus, at Pune. They give practical suggestions on how to live before death to achieve illumination after death, and give, in specific detail, a lot of valuable information about the very debatable subject of death. The book provides many rational answers to queries and misconceptions about a number of ideas erroneously fixed in us. Cases of certain deaths, which have been previously studied by scientists, are also narrated.

Every word of the lectures rings true intuitively and rationally, and what follows is greater understanding of this most difficult question in life-Death.
