Book Description

ISBN-10: 091166209X | ISBN-13: 978-0911662092 | Publication Date: June 1, 1990

1912. That which we call death is but the other side of life. Among developed Orientals, the other side is no uncharted sea, but has its currents, depths, islands and general facts as clearly stated and understood as is the Atlantic Ocean by the Western mariner. This work teaches that the phenomena of the other side need not be taken on faith, but may be actually known to those who will expend the time and study required for developing the higher senses which are possessed by all the race.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most profound philosophical works I've ever read., January 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Life Beyond Death (Hardcover)

This wonderfully profound gem of a philosophical work is possibly the most detailed and intuitively appealing explanation of what may happen after death I have ever read. This book explains the phenomena of ghosts and gives a very reasonable and believable description of the afterlife. The author, Yogi Ramacharaha, was one of the great philosophical thinkers of the early 20th century. He and Swami Vivakananda both came to America to teach yoga philosophy and both wrote books on a wide range of topics. It is amazing that two such remarkable minds did their work at around the same historical time. Another great book by Yogi Ramacharaha is "Gnani Yoga" which is also the title of a book by Swami Vivakananda. These two works are also quite great although I think Ramacharaha's work is a far more profound piece of writing. In conclusion, this book deserves a better review than I am giving it, but if you are looking for a truly outstanding piece of thinking about that "undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveller returns" than please read this book. I can truly say that this book has shaped my thinking very much on this topic, and I am very glad both that Amazon is offering this hard to get masterpiece, and that I have a chance to write a few words about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book blew my mind!, September 25, 2005

This review is from: Life Beyond Death (Paperback)

I had a taste of this subject when I read "An Autobiography of a Yogi" and was pretty much amazed then (as well as a bit skeptical) - however, this book takes you on a journey of heaven that if you are not familiar with this particular Oriental thought, will stun and amaze you. Absolutely fascinating!

5.0 out of 5 stars New views of the Astral Plane, September 3, 2010

This review is from: Life Beyond Death (Paperback)

This is a most fascinating reprint of material first published almost 100 years ago. It gives clear and detailed information of the Astral Plane, with greater insight into this realm of consciousness and experiences of the soul after death. It covers information and teachings now available (some for the first time) with great clarity and as such, I feel it is superior to many later books on this subject. I certainly commend it to anybody interested in the progression of personal onsciousness after death, or whose inclinations or spiritual path inclines them to explore the Astral Plane and its inhabitants.
