A Second Chance presents a dramatic and deeply inspiring case study of the soul’s journey at the moment of death. Based on the ancient account of Ajamila as narrated in the Sixth Canto of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, this volume is compiled and commented upon by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda.

In this book you will discover:

• How Ajamila, a once-pious young brahmacārī, descends into a life of disrepute, yet at the moment of death sees celestial agents of death (Yamadūtas) and agents of the Lord (Viṣṇudūtas) arriving—revealing the inevitability of spiritual consequences. 

• The vivid reality of life after death, reincarnation, karma, and the possibility of redemption by the chanting of the holy name—even by someone in dire circumstances.

• The spiritual transformation that occurs when one awakens to the soul’s eternal nature, moves beyond body-consciousness, and embraces devotional service to the Supreme Person.

• Original Sanskrit verses, English translation, selections from Srila Prabhupāda’s commentary, and excerpts from his lectures delivered during his 1970-71 India tour. 

This edition is ideal for seekers who have ever pondered what happens at death, for those interested in near-death phenomena from a Vedic perspective, and for devotees seeking to deepen their understanding of the soul, the Supreme, and the law of nature. A Second Chance is more than a story—it is a compelling invitation to awaken, change course, and embrace a life of purpose.
