When death comes, one who is actually in transcendental consciousness does not experience this death. It is described that for one who is actually in Krishna consciousness, death is like lightning and illumination. They take place simultaneously. In other words, when there is lightning, immediately there is illumination. Similarly, one who actually leaves his body in Krishna consciousness simply continues. He does not change. He realizes that he is changeless.
