Death: An Inside Story

The book “Life and Death: A Practical Guide” by the well-known mystic and yogi Sadhguru invites you to consider death from the perspective of yogic science. The author discusses the importance of the circumstances of death and how they influence a person’s further path. The book includes examples from Indian tradition and from Sadhguru’s personal experience.

The book is divided into three parts. In the first part, “Life and Death in One Breath,” the author examines the main mechanisms of life and death and introduces the reader to the yogic view of these processes. In the second part, “The Grandeur of Death,” the book discusses what a “good” death is, how to prepare for it, and how to overcome fear. It also provides information on how to help a dying person and support loved ones after a loss.

In the third part, “Life After Death,” Sadhguru talks about bodiless beings and how they affect living people, and also touches on questions related to reincarnation. The author offers practical advice on preparing for the birth of a child and explains why attempts to remember past lives can be dangerous.
