Although I understand that the soul is eternal, I still experience fear regarding death. The uncertainty, the possibility of pain, and the overall transition create anxiety. How can one effectively overcome this fear

Have you considered visiting a pyschologist.
Because you seem to have unusual fear.
I see in your last question also you were asking the same two questions
1. how to overcome fear of death
2. how to overcome lusty desires
isn't it?

you are not satisfied with our replies.
Because after 2 -3 weeks again you will post the same questions

this type of unsual fear of death is called Thanatophobia
You might need some medical help
Fear of death and fear of mistakes done in the past?
will Krishna forgive me?
Try to relax. Nothing will happen.
the news latest saying there would be major Mega Earthquake and 70% of Indian population is going to vanish.

watching this I am fearing too suddenly.
Looks like world is going to end soon.
Right now I am sitting on the tectonic plate that can burst at anytime and volcanic erruption can happen too.
I am very closely located to the pacific ocean and we are just located 4 miles away from the Pacific ocean
If a Tsunami comes.. we are first going to be washed out.

look there is a cyclone and there is great human loss.
Lord is doing his job of clearing unwanted poplulation who are doing all sorts of malpractices and sinful deeds.
One thing for sure is - Krishna will save us Provided you are totally surrendered to LORD SRI KRISHNA.
You know how Lord saved the Braj waasi' s from the huge rainfall.. LIfting GOVARDHAN GIRI.
Whenever I am fearing like this I just think about GOvardhan leela and remind myself that I am protected by Lord. Even is biggest problems like death araises- Lord will save me and Lord will do whatever is best for me.
If He think I must die and go back to HIM .. He will make sure I am safe and and doing all Bhakti and coming back to Lord without akasmaath mrityu. ( akal mrityu).
if akaal mrityu happenes like that happened for people who got into to plane and suddenly the plane got crashed. It is my fate.
Lord lifts govardhan giri saved all .. Why fear when Krishna is there there is no fear.
above all.. We have Shreemati Radharani is there the most munificient. I have no fear
when Lord is watching over us what is there to fear??
even fear will fear when Lord casts HIs lotus eyes on it. :-)
Keep chanting. Only way to get saved by all these fears is to chant chant chant.
LET Us all take shelter under the Govardhan giriraj and be surrendered to Lord Sri Krishna and forget about all worries.
Let us give our remote controls to Lord's hands and ask HIM to navigate and drive our lives to the destination easily without much pain.
I constantly gaze at Kamal Lochan and His casts his merciflul glance over me. Once this relationship is established. There is no fear.
Hare Krishna.
Sry mataji, but my mind getting distracted sometimes by news and things happening around world, I'll sure not post same question again, currently my sade sati is going on I think that's why I'm thinking that way and also I came in bhakti during this period, thanks to krishna 🙌🤗
saade sati has no effect on devotees who are fully surrendered
even I am under that shani time period influence.
during this time all we have to do is sit silently and just praise Lord. So, be surrendered to Krishna and be fearless.
Hare Krsna
I still experience fear regarding death. The uncertainty, the possibility of pain, and the overall transition create anxiety.
This fear and anxiety is experienced by almost all embodied living entities.
How can one effectively overcome this fear
By raising above the platform of bodily consciousness.
bhayaṁ dvitīyābhiniveśataḥ syād
īśād apetasya viparyayo ’smṛtiḥ
tan-māyayāto budha ābhajet taṁ
bhaktyaikayeśaṁ guru-devatātmā
Hare Krsna
Thank you Prabhuji, it really helps a lot 🙌❤️
