Hello traveler,

thank you for your kind answer so soon, what is a RTZ OBE ?

I have one more experience i cannot put my finger on, i don't know if this was an OBE or a transcendental blessing :

- may 4th or 5th 1997, around 9 in the morning, Rotterdam :

I had many questions about life and death at that time and came across a bookshop in my own street i never noticed before, it was there already for a long time, it was a Hare Krishna bookshop run by a Dutch devotee, Sri Hari (left his body some time ago).
I went in, bought the Bhagavat Gita as it is and he gave me the Hare Krishna maha Mantra to recite, first i thought "what is this for stupid magic", but then a few weeks later i decided to chant this mantra for the very first time. It is simple and goes like this ;
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare...
so i chanted this with my eyes closed, softly whispering, sitting crosslegged in the sun.
This happened a few minutes later :

-.......suddenly my consiousness or something was lifted out of my body or something and i found myself taken up in the rays of the sun, there was no heat nor cold, no notion of time and i was getting sucked up higher and higher, moving in circles into those rays and each and every letter of this mantra became "alive" so to speak, like appearing before me in it's greatest glory, i have difficulty to explain all this, since it is almost inexplainable, but i was in bliss.
As soon as i tried to analyze all this i came down......

question :
is this an OBE or not, and what does this experience resemble ?

Cheers,

Ganjananda.
