Experience Description

It was a time of a festival, people from outside of Bihar (a state in north India) coming to home to enjoy the festival widely know as 'Dala Chhath'. When the festival ended, I was planning to return New Delhi where I was working at the time. We had a family discussion over my marriage. I felt stressed. The day before I was to go to Delhi, my mom asked me to repair an electric wire that had been chewed through by a rat. Since I know this electrical work since childhood, it was not difficult for me. I started this activity. I took the proper precaution by switching off the electrical current from the main switch and brought in a wooden table. I was standing on the table and started my work. I cut the wire from one side and to rejoin it with the other side I came down from table but I forgot to put my feet in my sandals/shoes. As I started rejoining both ends of the electric wire, I got an electric shock (I did not wear any gloves). It was like a knife-like particle inserted into my finger and it speedily entered my body towards my leg. I cried as loud as I could. My mom listened to me and started crying. I became unconscious laid down on the floor. Fortunately, the bare wire fell from my hand and I was saved.

Between these almost ten to twenty seconds, I felt I was out of body, I felt that my body was lying down; if my mom removed the wire from my hand she could save my body. I really did not want to lose my body. I felt that I was telling to my mom to stop crying and remove the wire from my body's hand because I was unable to do so. I also felt that my mom was not listening to me but I did not know why.

There was a less than a single minute of unconscious but I have a great experience. I am a bioscience student; apart from my story, my family does not keep any faith in such things. Since then, I can have faith in this line. (If someone experiences such incident, they realize that there is life after death. But it is hard to make other's believe that life is after death.)

Thanks for providing such a platform to share such experiences.

Regards,

Rajnish.
