Guest guest Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 --- kanishk, You can chant Vishnu sahstranaam if you have devotion for Vishnu and shiv sahastranam if you have devotion for shiv. Done regularly, both will provide you with what you seek. Though I guess Vishnu sahastranaam is more popular. Phal stuti is usually given in the end. It ends with Sri Ram Rameti Rame rame manorame Sahasranama Tattulyam Rama Nama Varanane. What does that mean? As for what happens to the dead, there are no simple answers I guess. Usually your own belief system will play a very important role. Vivekanand also says something to this effect that you will get and see exactly what you expect to. If you are not dazed by the western terminology on the site I sent, may be you will be able to get some idea and try to realte it your own notion. His work reinforces my beliefs at least. Also remember that bruce moen is also not a trained yogi, and as happens in this case the higher truths are always clouded by your own prejudices and preconceived notions. Shradh is perhaps a way of sending positive vibration to your ancestors and a way of expressing gratitude for the body you received from them. what happens if shradh is not done is difficult for me to say. Jai gurudev anu Made myself a profile. --you should all too. actually I saw some of yours and that inspired me. but comments are welcome in my personal mail, and not here.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 thanks for answering about shraadh....... It is written in the Puraans that shraadh is essential....... My question was that if The amadoots take a person for Judgment to Yamaraj....then what is the purpose of shraadh....?? regards, kanishk. - "devi_bhagat" <devi_bhagat <> Tuesday, July 30, 2002 8:49 PM Re: shraadh.... > --- kanishk, > > You can chant Vishnu sahstranaam if you have devotion for Vishnu and > shiv sahastranam if you have devotion for shiv.

(though they are not always in a difficult position). a difficult position can be pret yoni or the yoni of an animal. so your rites helps them free themselves of this and move on. some even go a step further say that we who are living today are the ancestors of someone else, and so on. so perhaps all these rites go in the direction of our own welfare!! jai gurudev anu > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 Kanishk Ji: You can check out this site: http://www.near-death.com . It's a collection of unbiased after-life accounts by people of various backgrounds. And it clearly shows that your experience is dependent on the mental conditioning you've received. You may also read Chapter 43 of the Autobiography of a Yogi (by Paramahansa Yogananda), titled "The Resurrection of Sri Yukteswar". This gives a very clear account of the afterlife in the astral planes. It's certainly my favorite chapter in the book :-) It can now be found online at: http://www.adesha.com/autobiography/chap43/chap43.html or http://www.adesha.com/autobiography for the entire book. Chanting 1000 names of Vishnu confers more devotion and desire for liberation.
