According to religious texts, Yamraj is the god of death, whose job is to take the soul from this world to the next world. He rides on a divine chariot, which is pulled by a buffalo. He has a mace and a noose (rope) in his hands, with which he catches the soul. Yamraj's appearance may be scary, but he is just and sends the creature to heaven or hell based on its deeds. A month before death, a person is likely to have a vision of Yamraj in an unconscious state. However, this vision does not happen to everyone, only to those people whose soul is preparing to leave this world.

According to Indian scriptures and folk beliefs, many changes occur in the body and mind before death. Below are some major signs:

If a person repeatedly sees Yamraj, a buffalo or a dark cave in his dreams, it could be a sign that his death is near.

A month before death, the glow of a person's face may diminish. The skin starts to look pale or withered. The shine of the eyes starts to fade.

There may be a sudden change in the behaviour of the person. He may want to stay alone and become aloof from worldly affairs.

A person approaching death often loses interest in food and water. His hunger and thirst gradually decrease.

The person suddenly starts living in isolation from his loved ones. He feels as if he is no longer a part of this world.

Before death, a person feels strange movements in his body, like vibrations, tingling or heaviness.

Sometimes birds and animals can also indicate death. If a crow keeps circling around a person's house or a dog suddenly starts barking, it is considered inauspicious.

If you or any of your loved ones are feeling these signs, then instead of getting scared, chant the name of God and focus on worship. Reciting the Gita, Ramayana or other religious texts gives peace to the soul. Also, one should try to improve one's karma and help others. Death is a truth of life that no one can avoid. Yamraj and the signs that come before death remind us that we should always fill our lives with good deeds. If you understand these signs and strive for peace of the soul, then the journey after death can also be easy.
