'I went to Hell after a car crash, there are flames and screaming souls'

A woman says she saw discovered Hell after her car flew off the road and she passed over into the other side, and says there were “souls screaming for help”. Yoga Premananda says after she 'died' she entered a cold and dark room before landing in the “terrifying” pit.

She says a shadow figure was present, along with a never-ending ceiling and that there was a strong smell of smoke. The holistic energy healer, 51, was then greeted by Archangel Raphael – a prominent healing figure across multiple religions – who challenged her.

And suddenly, she was in the ‘waiting room’ for Heaven. “I wasn’t scared, but I didn’t know what I was doing in the Hell realm,” Yoga said. “There was a spinning pyre of flames, with souls hanging off it, screaming and reaching for help. The shadow figures around me wondered who I was. And the whole room’s dimensions were odd; the walls were shadows and they felt cold, yet hot; dry, yet wet. I wasn’t even thinking about my body back on Earth.

“When Archangel Raphael appeared, he was wearing dark sunglasses, a long dark trench coat and a black hat. Suddenly, I was beamed into a waiting room for Heaven in a split second. I felt very normal and quite comfortable.

“When I reached the other side, I was relieved – it was like home.”

Before entering Heaven, she went into a long white tunnel with other souls that were coming and going. Archangel Raphael then made the decision of where would should stay, Yoga says. She said: “He was sitting at a desk going through and stamping papers with information of the souls. There was a bright and light energy around it; the total opposite to what I thought Hell was like.

“No one used words, but we still communicated. A familiar feeling came over me as some souls went to the end of the tunnel – and I knew I wasn’t supposed to go there. I still had my physical body, whereas other souls were just orbs of light passing through.”

Yoga nearly met her demise after making plans to meet up with a friend to go partying and decided to do the trip alone. She recalls feeling “euphoric” and lost track of where she was going – and her speed.

While on an empty road, with nobody else around, she lost attention and suddenly, a feeling of dread washed over her. She struggled to breathe and before she knew it, her car flew off the road.

Yoga said: “I started gasping for air. I had never felt anything like this before in my whole life. As I was dying, I saw my legs crushed under the steering wheel.”

But when it was her turn to approach Archangel Raphael, he stamped her ticket and reversed the crash. Yoga said: “He got the okay from God to save my life. When I went back into my physical body, my car was miraculously on the road with no scratches or bumps.

“It was like a scene from a movie. I was filled with purpose and the information I had received rearranged my body. A piece of my brain had been activated – and the process was complete.”

Yoga turned the car around and headed back home. She said: “I feel as if a higher power got me back safely that day. I hadn’t realised the breadth and depth of what had happened to me. I felt between worlds, like a part of me was still in Heaven’s waiting room.

“A few weeks later, I struggled to breathe while driving again and I rushed to the hospital.”

Doctors tried to prescribe her anti-anxiety medication, but she says a voice 'full of wisdom' and urged her to leave. Yoga says this voice now guides her every day and she’s since gone on to achieve certificates in healing, detox and cleansing as part of her new path.

Yoga uses her journey to help other people understand their near-death experiences through her work as a holistic healer. She added: “God chose to save my life and send me back here to have a beautiful journey.

“People say I seem different; but it’s just the new me. I’ve had to deal with insomnia, anxiety and mental fog due to everything not making sense anymore. I haven’t touched any drug, alcohol, caffeine, medicine or animal-based products since to cleanse my body.

“But I’ve come to learn that what we do on Earth is backwards. This reality here isn’t our only reality – or our permanent one. Hell taught me a lot; I learned the importance of compassion for others.

“I’m not fearful about experiencing it again and I’m happy to have been able to escape the boxes we create for ourselves that only hurt us in the long run. People need to wake up so we can get as close as possible to our true nature before it’s too late.”
