What Happens To Us When We Die

⁣What happens to us when we die many shrug it off considering the question unanswerable the Vedic literature answers this profound question by outlining broad principles that shape the source journey after the body dies. It consists of three successive stages one the soul leaves the present body two your travels to the location of its next to body and three it enters the next body.

One the souls exit from the body:
Vedic wisdom explains the death actually occurs when the soul permanently leaves the gross material body at the time of death the soul normally exits from one of the nine holes in the body which of the virus referred to as the ninth gate to eyes the two years to nostrils the mouse and the two excretory organs The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 4.4.1 to 2 describes the souls departure.

At the time of death the area of his heart becomes lit in by that light the soul departs either through the eye the head or through other apertures of the body and when he departs the planners or life fairs follow him to his next destination his knowledge and his deeds followed him as does his previous wisdom if not specific details of his former life.

So is that a spiritually evolved generally depart from one of the seven holes in the head where is Soul have yet to sufficiently evolve depart from one of the two other holes to point through which soul departs indicates it’s next destination. The soul depart through the holes in the head will continue on towards the hire more evolved realms of the universe whereas the souls who depart to the other holes are headed toward lower.

Two the souls journey to the next body:
When this whole set off on its journey to the next body it is given a transitional body that is gross than the subtle body and settlers and the gross equipped with this body at the Vedic literature calls “preta” the soul is taken by nature is arrangement to its next destination to saw often finds this journey painful because in its present condition it is highly susceptible to pain to help is the source pain the Vedic literatures Garuda Purana recommend that the relatives of the deceased person perform certain activities who is married cushions to solve onward journey.

Three parcels entry into the next body:
Shrimad Bhagavatam 3.31.1 a classic of the Vedic library outlines one of the typical Pathways by which the soul enters the body does souls me to enter into the room for woman through the particle of male semen to assume a particular type of body what determines our next body which body particular Saugus is determined by the broad principles that underlies the mechanism of reincarnation.

This is all after having thrown away the old are useless body makes them to himself newer and hopefully better bodies according to his previous actions ability and desires. The Bhagavat Gita 15.8 offers another metaphor to explain how this all fine it’s next destination just as the air carriers aromas the soul carries it’s different conceptions of life from one body to another and as we’ve already heard from the Bhagavad-Gita 2.22 the body is like a piece of clothing for the soul reincarnation is therefore something like taking all suit and putting on a new one just as what suit we where is usually determined by our taste in our budget for Soul new suit is determined by its desires its attachments in the karma it has acquired.
