Guest guest Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Namaste as far as I know videha mukta is an expression pointing to the jivanmukti shedding the body. With videha mukta the jivanmukti is in no way " more " liberated than before as he anyway knows that he is not the body. Just the body itself drops, he remains the same - as free as he was before. So I have found the term videha mukta being used as synonymous to " death of a jivanmukti " .

My previous understanding was that jivan-mukta is liberation while still in the body and videha-mukta is liberation at death. Videha-mukta for who? For the Ajnani, following death on the present body, rebirth follows. Thus for the vast majority, rebirth follows. What of the sadhaka? Karma, vasanas ?

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Namaste, A small doubt. Why " videha mukta " and why is it not just " deha mukta " ? Some clarification will be very useful. With kind regards to all R. S.
