Death doesn’t exist

Last year Prisma released a second edition of their 2015 compilation on the theme of death. As its title indicates this includes the ‘death of death’, exploring Sri Aurobindo’s passing and his journey into the unconscious and Mother’s grappling with the transformation of death. It mentions Auroville’s role in this work, as a location for a new supramentalised evolution, and gives stories and details as to the death and after death process. 

It’s a comprehensive book, including topics as varied as Mother on the Spanish flu, Sri Aurobindo on rebirth, the protection of Ashramites after death (with Georges van Vrekhem making a case for this including Aurovilians), the fear of death and explores why death? and what death is, as well as Mother’s lifelong experiences with helping those who have passed on. 

Drawing extensively on Mother’s Agenda, Sri Aurobindo’s writings and Georges van Vrekhem’s books it is an insightful and helpful compilation on the theme of death.

This book is also available in an open-access format and can be read by anyone on a gift-economy basis:
