In this conversation, Purnima Sinha shares how near-death experiences, after-death communication, and subtle inner guidance shaped her life of meditation, service, and hospital-based care. She describes a spiritual path rooted in the Bhagavad Gita, long-term contemplative practice, and a deep trust that we are never truly alone.
We also explore how guidance showed up in ordinary life through synchronicity, premonitions, and a persistent call to serve patients and families in medical settings. Purnima speaks about shared-death experiences, supporting people at the end of life, learning to discern intuition from ego, and why gratitude, self-love, and forgiveness are foundational spiritual practices.
