- 49:46 - I had a weird question about NDEs. In the paper, A Systematic Survey of NDEs in South India by Satwant Pasricha, some Hindus who experience NDEs see the god Yama. Some of these are veridical in which for example a person is branded by Yama and then a mark appears in the same place that they were branded. How can we explain these reports in terms of Catholic theology? Also do these reports show that NDEs are hallucinations since these people saw what culturally they believed? Thank you, Jimmy.
