Santosh Acharjee: NDE to a Narrow Door

The Story
Santosh 'Sandy' Ad Jarji, a Hindu manufacturing engineer, suffered a code blue in a Cleveland hospital ICU in October 2006 from ruptured gallstones, bleeding pancreas, pneumonia, and a punctured lung artery. He heard an inner voice warn of death, said goodbye to his family, and collapsed. Out of his body, he saw his dead form on the bed. A bright divine light engulfed him and carried him at high speed through dark tunnels to a platform before a beautiful walled compound with mansions and 12 closed gates guarded by angels. Below lay a dark abyss with a burning lake of fire. He saw the Lord Almighty on a throne, felt shame for his sins, and pleaded for mercy. The Lord forgave him, showed a narrow door to heaven, and sent him back to finish tasks. He gave five instructions: love family, tell the truth, sin no more, surrender to Him, walk with Him, and help the poor. After returning after three days, Sandy realized the Lord was Jesus. He attended church, wrote books donating proceeds to the poor, and lives by the instructions, focusing on a sincere relationship with God over organized religion.
