End of Life Care and Srila Prabhupada

End of Life Care and Srila Prabhupada: By Bharat Chandra Dasa ‘Death literacy’ is a must for all who have taken birth. Certainly, we should all enquire and seek out – “What is death? Who actually dies? What happens to us after death? Why do we die? We really do not want to die but why are we forced to?” Well, if we are not interested or think it is a taboo to talk about it, here is something we need to remind ourselves: We will all die (leave this body) CERTAINLY! We DO NOT KNOW when will we die? Death comes unannounced! So PREPARATION IS A MUST! We are in charge of our own death individually. Hence, IF WE DON’T PREPARE for our death, WHO ELSE WILL? We CANNOT BORROW TIME. We are NOT Young to talk about it. TALK ABOUT IT NOW! Death is fearful. But only if we follow a SPIRITUAL PATH, can it be fearless! The best insurance policy against death is therefore, to prepare our consciousness to face it. To prepare the consciousness, we must go through a conscious spiritual discipline.
