Does The Soul Survive Death of the Body?

Does The Soul Survive death of the Body? By Dr. RameshKushwaha from his book Physical Universe Virtual God

 

The provided text explores various perspectives on the soul'sfate after physical death, contrasting scientific, religious, and philosophical viewpoints. Eastern religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism generally embrace rebirth or reincarnation, while Christianity, Judaism, and Islam lean towards heaven and hell. The text emphasizes the Vedanta concept of Atman (Soul) as Pure Consciousness (PC), defining it as a virtual, eternal principle of knowledge present in all living creatures, akin to gravity existing in physical bodies. This perspective suggests the soul is not a tangible entity that can die or be reborn, thus making concepts like heaven, hell, and individual soul reincarnation irrelevant. Instead, the Soul as a principle simply ceases to manifest in a dying creature and appearsin new life, connecting all beings and serving as the source ofwisdom and intuition.
