Chapter 1: The Life-Altering Surgery

In 2005, Dr. Rajiv Parti underwent surgery for prostate cancer. Unfortunately, complications arose, resulting in a loss of bladder control that persisted, necessitating a second surgery to install an artificial sphincter. The second surgery on December 14, 2010, was successful, but three days later, Rajiv developed a high fever and became severely septic, unable to urinate.

His wife quickly transported him to UCLA Medical Center, where doctors decided to remove the artificial sphincter, which had become infected. As he received general anesthesia, Rajiv experienced an astonishing out-of-body sensation, observing his own body from a height of 12 feet above the operating table. His background as an anesthesiologist left him astonished at this phenomenon, leading him to wonder if the anesthesia contained hallucinogenic substances like LSD or ketamine.

Chapter 2: An Unexpected Journey

While detached from his physical form, Rajiv discovered he could simultaneously view the operating room and see his mother and sister in India, engaged in conversation. His mother wore a green sari, while his sister sported blue jeans—details he later confirmed after recovery. Meanwhile, he watched as his body was surgically operated on, releasing an infected fluid.

Rajiv's consciousness then traversed various realms, starting with a terrifying environment filled with darkness and malevolent entities. The atmosphere was charged with thunderous sounds and flashes of lightning, accompanied by the anguished cries of lost souls. He found himself lying on a bed of nails, tormented and questioning his presence in such a dreadful place. It dawned on him that he was there due to his previous unkindness and lack of love in life.

Chapter 3: A Father's Guiding Light

Suddenly, Rajiv's deceased father appeared, guiding him through a tunnel illuminated by a brilliant light at the end. As they journeyed, Rajiv underwent a life review, reflecting on both his current life and past incarnations. He recalled a life in Afghanistan as an opium farmer in the 18th century and another as a cruel prince who mistreated farmers. This revelation helped him recognize how his past actions shaped his present challenges, including his lifelong struggle with chronic wrist pain.

Through a past life regression session, Rajiv had learned to seek forgiveness from those he had wronged. When he did so, his wrist pain disappeared. He remarked, “I realized that in the other realm, time is not necessarily linear.”

Chapter 4: A Realm of Beauty

Emerging from the tunnel, Rajiv found himself in a stunning meadow greeted by two towering beings who introduced themselves as his guardian angels, Michael and Raphael. This revelation surprised Rajiv, given his Hindu beliefs. They led him to a picturesque setting filled with vibrant roses and the soothing sound of a crystal-clear stream. He perceived a chant resembling "OM" resonating in the air, which elevated his consciousness further.

As he ascended, his sense of self began to dissolve into a state of profound love and peace. He approached a light that radiated more brightness than ten thousand suns, which filled him with unconditional love. “It was love all around. The best word to describe it is the Sanskrit word 'Shanti,' meaning cosmic peace, harmony, and bliss.”

Chapter 5: A New Beginning

Telepathically, the light conveyed to Rajiv that he would be spared and transformed. He was encouraged to relinquish material pursuits and his career in anesthesiology to embark on a path of healing others facing depression, addiction, and chronic pain—issues he had personally battled.

Upon awakening in the recovery room, Rajiv felt overwhelming gratitude. Within 72 hours, he was discharged, only requiring oral antibiotics. Notably, his addiction to narcotics vanished overnight, and while his depression and chronic pain lingered for a while, they too eventually dissipated. Subsequently, he sold his large home and luxury vehicles.

Chapter 6: Reflections on Materialism and Spirituality

Rajiv's near-death experience stands out from others I have encountered. Notably, he expressed gratitude for returning to his body, contrasting with many who resist coming back to life. He also reviewed both his current and past lives, a reflection likely influenced by his belief in reincarnation.

When asked about the shift in his perspective on materialism, he acknowledged a balance but admitted to being consumed by material pursuits prior to his experience. “I built a house more than I could afford to keep up with friends. I got no satisfaction from it; it was an emptiness that couldn’t be filled by any number of toys,” he explained.

In my view, the desire for material possessions often stems from a need for social validation rather than genuine fulfillment. This tendency to compare ourselves to others can lead to a cycle of dissatisfaction. For instance, the allure of owning a luxury car might fade if it fails to elicit the expected admiration, ultimately feeling burdensome rather than joyful.

As one becomes more spiritually aware, the allure of consumerism diminishes, leading to a simpler lifestyle focused on true happiness rather than material excess. This reflects the notion that spiritual individuals tend to possess fewer items, as they prioritize what genuinely enriches their souls.
