## Resource

A Hindu manufacturing engineer clinically dies — and what he experiences completely challenges what he expected about the afterlife. Santosh grew up believing in reincarnation. But during his near-death experience, he says he encountered something else entirely: a radiant city unlike anything he had ever seen before… matching descriptions found in Revelation 21 of the Bible. What he describes about God, heaven, judgment, and the nature of eternity raises profound questions about reincarnation, truth, and what really happens after death. Was this simply the mind under stress — or did this Hindu engineer witness something impossible? In this powerful episode of the Imagine Heaven Podcast, John Burke sits down with Santosh to unpack one of the most compelling cross-cultural near-death experiences we’ve heard yet.
