My understanding about Hindu teachings say that 'all life - including your own are considered to be sacred' hence terminating life is not to be advocated. The only time a Hindu may not be prevented from taking his or her own life would be if he merges in the Lord (or as we say gains Self knowledge and realises his unity with the Lord finding the body to be irrelevant. In that state of deep meditation he may lose body-consciousness and never return to the body). regards jay Vivekananda Centre London Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
