It does fit in one of the missing pieces in my 'understanding puzzle' and does offer comfort in a way. I too agree with the 'no further'.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 Dear Harshaji, Thank you for the kind words and accept my condolences too. There's one more question that haunts me. They say that your loved ones look after you form above and pray that we carry on with our lives as normally as possible. So, any attempt in this direction should make them happy, is it not? What form does the soul attain, is it an energy or some other invisible form? Also, are the number of souls a constant and the cycle of life and death continues for the same set of souls or is the number rising? Sorry if I sound riduculous but the curiosity is killing. I hope I will know the answers someday. Secondly, I am having regular dreams of mom after her demise. I wanted to hug her and I did just that in a subsequent dream. Should I dismiss this as wishful thought (or dream) or there could be more to it. Sometimes, when I close my eyes, I see her face as real as it was. This makes me happy but at the same time, I feel I am creating a make-believe world of mine. If this is escapism, then I would like to shun it. I don't do this deliberately though. Do you similar experiences? Regards Sudhir Harsha wrote: Dear Sudhirji: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 praNAms Hare Krishna My heartfelt condolences to those who lost their pratyakSha daiva-s. A good reference book for the post departure status of souls is Swamy Sivananda's * what becomes of the soul after death*. I think it is available for on-line reading at Divine Life Society website. Hari Hari Hari Bol!!! bhaskar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
