Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi · Volume III

Talk 461

18th February, 1938

As Sri Bhagavan was going through the letters which arrived this day, He read out one of them as follows:

A brahmin boy working in a household went to sleep as usual. In his sleep he cried out. When he woke up he said that he felt his going out of the body through the mouth and nostrils. So he cried. Soon after he found himself dead and the soul taken to Vaikunta where God Vishnu was surrounded by other gods and devotees with prominent Vaishnavite marks on their foreheads. Vishnu said, “This man should be brought here at 2 o’clock tomorrow. Why has he been brought here now?” The boy then woke up and related his experience. The next day at 2 o’clock he passed away.
