This book describes a way of thinking and living the life experiences distantissimo widespread in the West.
very different from what is commonly fabled here, the approach of the Indians to death is not informed in a fatalistic attitude. On the contrary, life is conducted with the desire to achieve a "good death", which concludes a long and satisfying life.
But death is not opposed to life. Death is a brief moment of exit from the current condition of existence and at the same time, is a birth to another kind of way. So death is comparable to the birth rather than to life, as it is in use in the West.
The book is therefore of the problems affecting the conception, birth and development of the human being, its decay and death.
The point of observation of these phenomena is based on research that the author has made in the course of forty years in the social reality of India today. Has found that over the centuries and millenniums the attitude of Indians towards death is not changed much, and this allowed him to refer to the ancient Sanskrit texts, following the interpretative key that today priests Hindu religion is invoked as an explanation, and scientific mystery of departure.
Along with speculative interpretations of great depth, the book contains a description of the rituals that accompany the dying person to cross the threshold of death. The story of the experience of death and feelings during the agony s'accompagna beliefs about the trip that takes the soul of the deceased to reach the heaven of the ancestors, the dangers are in the early days after his death, attacks witchcraft and the risk of becoming a lost soul, a revenant, a vampire. Following is the opinion of Yama, the god of the underworld and the achievement of perpetual abode of the dead. But this does not end with the imaginary Indian posthumously at the end of the world of men, the dead, the last living together, begin the first of an indefinite series of migrations into new worlds, with births and deaths are continuing at a rebirth in doubly dead, always looking for that liberation that will allow elected to leave the perpetual becoming, and to identify Being, the Supreme Deity.
