The Soul, Near-Death Experiences, Reincarnation, and the Scientific Search for Life After Death.
What Happens After Death? is a philosophical and scientific exploration by Indian author Parvind Kumar. The book delves into the oldest mystery of humanity: the ultimate fate of consciousness. Integrating case studies of near-death experiences (NDEs), clinical research on cardiac arrest patients, hypnotherapy records, and documentation of past-life memories with ancient Eastern and Western philosophical traditions, this book investigates if consciousness survives the body's biological death. It is a comforting, fascinating, and thoroughly researched look at the soul's potential journey.
