Metaphysics of Death
Metaphysics of Death describes in detail the metaphysical processes of life, death, and life after death using principles of Theosophy and Jiddu Krishnamurti’s teachings. The author uses his in-depth knowledge and experience of these subjects to weave an intriguing story of life and death.He demystifies complex concepts, cutting across theological myths in a religion-agnostic exposition of hell and heaven, karma and rebirth, the fate of suicides, soul and the atma, and the ending of the cycle of death and rebirth. Several ideas that may be new to some of us like, the etheric body, the astral and mental bodies, kundalini, prana, Adepts, and the amazing worlds of nature that are present in the very environment we live in, are visited along the way.The result is a concise and lively story that will help readers dispel the fear of death and substitute it with excitement and wonder about everything that lies ahead, to embrace and live the precious life we have. Along the way, the author regales us with interesting stories from Krishnamurti’s life and his own life experience.

Why bother about 'Death'? Why don't we enroll ourselves in Courses on 'How to Live Life'?
J Krishnamurti used to say that to live one must die to each moment.
Many of us who have a penchant for asking deep questions may conclude that life is not what it appears on the surface. Here is where Occultism enters the scenario. We are bombarded with information that showcases 'Occultism' as Magic, but H.P. Blavatsky clarified that 'Occultism' deals with something that lies hidden.
The book decodes the mystery of Death which intimidates most of us. Systematically, the author has drawn from the theosophical concepts to explain the Hidden Worlds of Nature, the Man and his bodies and the process of death.
The author goes on to expose the traps and limitations of different 'Practices' and 'Courses' that have been put to sell by the so-called 'Yogis'. One may also find a meeting point where Theosophy meets the teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurti.
The unique feature of the book lies in peeling off the beliefs and faiths, laying before us as a way to end the cycle of death and rebirth. The author has not asked his readers to subscribe to any method technique or conclusion as they all have their limitations. Reading it was a strange experience and revelation.

A wonderful cocktail of philosophy, theosophy, the occult and experiences of a learned man focussed on the enticing subject of death and afterwards.
