Death: Before, During & After Through the Lens of Indian Knowledge Systems

by Dr Shubham Kulkarni, Claudia Welch, Dr Claudia Welch

An exploration of death and the process of dying through the lenses of Ayurveda, philosophy, ritual, and sound from three highly respected voices in Indian Knowledge Systems, this book offers a clear, grounded and liberating view of death that is both ancient in origin yet relevant in modern times.

Structured into three interwoven parts, the book moves from personal and spiritual preparation, through the experience and support of dying, to the post-mortem reality of ancestral relationships and unseen forces.

Drs Robert Svoboda, Claudia Welch and Shubham Kulkarni draw on decades of experience in teaching, clinical work, and traditional study, to offer a perspective that is at once accessible and profound.

This book offers not only philosophical insight but also practical guidance for individuals, caregivers and professionals facing mortality or supporting others through it.
