The Final Call – Death – Bhakti Purushottama Swami – Bengali

death is the one topic that is beyond debate, all scholars can’t help but reach the same conclusion, death is inevitable. So much emphasis is placed on “art of living” in our modern society. People are always interested in new ways to enjoy life, but almost no attention is given to the real goal of our existence, “the art of dying”.
