Obstacles and difficulties that we try to avoid and overcome in existence on earth that will eventually expose us to another world for the completion of our next journey. Every living person should prepare himself even from now on, if he wishes for an auspicious death, and a spiritually rewarding journey to other worlds.
The best preparation in this regard is to organize and align all the parts of one's consciousness around the center of the psychic being, so that they can be flexible to be molded and governed at all times in all things by the soul.
Death is just a transition from one life form to another and no one dies but just leaves. The average person struggles in the physical world that is visible only through the media of his senses and by the application of rational judgment alone.
But this physical world represents only a small part of the innumerable totality that exists in the manifestations of nature. With proper effort ( sadhana ), one can raise one's consciousness to a higher and deeper level to make it active to function there.
If one can awaken the latent potential of his knowledge which is beyond the reach of the physical senses, he will be able to have access to the subtle world. It depends on the capacity and development of the individual to be able to establish conscious communication with them.
Man has not only his gross physical body, but also other bodies; such as, energy body, etheric, mental body and so on.
The soul travels to different subtle realms, and then returns to an almost endless series of rebirths ending on earth. And all this, with only one goal in mind, ultimately brings about the full manifestation of life on earth itself and that too in the material-physical human body or super-human body.
When and how was he reincarnated in a new body on earth?As it passes in a certain place, the soul discards the elements that are no longer needed from the superficial and temporary personality of the individual in his previous embodiment.
Then, until the time came, the energy behind their functioning existence was exhausted and they were destroyed and disappeared for good.
If during his lifetime he has been able to develop mental capacities and special talents such as musical abilities, these elements can transmigrate for some time in the invisible realm of the earth's atmosphere after the physical death of the person concerned.
Hridayasyaagram pradyoetatae tena pradyoetena esha nishkraamati chakshushoe vaa moordhnoe vaa 2.The veins or nerves of the heart of the dead which are the outlet for Aatman become illuminated by the brilliance of the drawn sense organs.
The heart center will be illuminated at the time of death and the Atma needs the help of light to exit the body mostly through the eyes or through the head…..
With that light, the Atman exits the body through the eyes or the crown or other parts.
On leaving his body, a yogi draws his breath of life (Prana vayu) from different limbs, concentrating it first in the six centers (chakras) and finally ascending to Sahasrara. He then controls the other seven orifices (two eyes, two nostrils, two ears and mouth) and leaves the body through Brahmarandra.
From Death to Eternity
na jāyate mriyate vā kadāchinnāyaṁ bhūtvā bhavitā vā na bhūyaḥajo nityaḥ śhāśhvato 'yaṁ purāṇona hanyate hanyamāne śharīreThe soul is not born, nor does it die; nor has it ever been, never ceased to be. The soul is birthless, eternal and ageless. It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed.Chapter 2, Verse 20
Krishna describes death in the Bhagavad Gita as nothing more than a change of clothes:jātasya hi dhruvo mṛityur dhruvaṁ janma mṛitasya chatasmād aparihārye 'rthe na tvaṁ śhochitum arhasiDeath is certain for those who are born, and rebirth is inevitable for those who have died. Therefore, you should not bemoan the inevitable.Chapter 2, Verse 27
vāsānsi jīrṇāni yathā vihāyanavāni gṛi hṇāti naro'parāṇitathā śharīrāṇi vihāya jīrṇānyanyani sanyāti navani dehiJust as one takes off worn-out clothes and puts on new ones, so at the time of death, the soul throws away its worn-out body and enters a new body.Chapter 2, Verse 22
dehino 'smin yathā dehe kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā
tathā dehāntara-prāptir dhīras tatra na muhyatiJust as the bodily soul continues to move from childhood to youth to old age, so too at the time of death, the soul moves to another body. Wise people are not fooled by this.Chapter 2, Verse 13
- The physical body is made up of the elements earth, water, fire, air and ether. This is what people generally think of themselves – what they see in the mirror.
- The subtle body consists of the mind ( manas ), intelligence ( buddhi ) and false identification ( ahankara ). This subtle body stores all the thoughts, desires, and experiences that a person has, in every life he leads.

Just before death, memories that were strong during life appeared in mind's eye in a fraction of a second. Such memories, cover and forget other knowledge which is useful to be on the path of good death.-- Hindu Loka --
- If our mind is focused on that very foolish activity of the mind ( tamo-guna ), we will receive a body that is fit among the lower species of life or perhaps as a plant or animal.
- If our mind focuses on a passionate activity (rajo-guna ), we will be given a body in the category of human life.
- If our mind focuses on an activity that is primarily in the mode of goodness ( sattva-guna ), we will receive a body on one of the higher planets – svarga-loka , etc.
anta-kāle cha mām eva smaran muktvā kalevaram
yaḥ prayāti sa mad-bhāvaṁ yāti nastyatra sanśhayaḥ
Whoever releases his body while remembering Me at the time of his death will come to Me. This is certainly not to be doubted.Chapter 8 Verse 5
mām upetya punar janma duḥkhālayam aśhāśhvatam
nāpnuvanti mahātmānaḥ sansiddhiṁ paramāṁ gatāḥHaving attained Me, great souls no longer experience rebirth in this world, which is mortal and full of misery, for they have attained the highest perfection.Chapter 15, Verse 15
na tad bhāsayate sūryo na śhaśhāṅko na pāvakaḥ
yad gatvā na nivartante tad dhāma paramaṁ mama
Neither the sun nor the moon nor the fire can illuminate My Most High Dwelling. After going there, one does not return to this material world again.
Chapter 15, Verse 6
vidyayamritam ashnuteBy developing spiritual knowledge, one attains immortality.
man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru
mām evaiṣhyasi satyaṁ te pratijāne priyo 'si me
Always think of Me, be My worshipper, worship Me and worship Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are my dearest friend.Vav 18, Ayat 65
