I just think it's strange that these top deities in their faith can be dreamt about but not seen in NDEs.As I'm sure you now know because of your more recent posts, the god of the dead or whatever in hinduism is Yamraj and his messengers are the Yamdoots, so even though Krishna is a 'top' deity, it would make no sense to see him in a NDE.

Much more mindfucking going on in Christianity than Hinduism. It's all psychological. In Hinduism, not everyone has heard about Yamraj and his messengers coming to receive the dead more than a few times. The stories are often told by hopeful grandmothers in the evening during prayers or at night before bed when the grandkids come to stay with them. There's no clear consensus on how Yamraj looks. As children, hindus see him in comic books or prayer books, but he looks the way the illustrator envisions him. Ask two hindus to draw Yamraj, and you'll see highly different looking weirdos on the two papers. Ask two Christians to draw Jesus, and they'll most likely draw something similar.
PS: Personally I like to imagine him as a large juicy scrumptious candied Yam.
thanks for that amazing answer! I'm curious, do you come from a Hindu background or have you studied Hinduism? You seem to know a lot about it
