There is probably no place on this planet that death has not touched and continues to touch. In India especially, there is a rich heritage of engaging with human mortality.
Yogi Bhajan, yogi and spiritual teacher from India, developed the practice of the Pran Sutra as a tool to help us prepare for the moment when we take our last breath. The mantra of the Pran Sutra represents the resonating body of a spiritual force, which is to be manifested through repeated singing, thinking, or speaking in this world. In the process of dying, the Pran Sutra guides us along our journey to the afterlife.
