up to now there is no scientific data to establish that life exists after death.

Definitely not. What lives after ones death are the deeds that one has done memories in the minds of the loved ones and concepts that one has put forward during ones lifetime. That there is a life after death is a popular myth put forward by various religions to take the minds of the exploited away from the fact that they are being exploited!

Bhagavad-gita-2.12 & 13
Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be. As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.

Those who are seers of the truth have concluded that of the nonexistent [the material body] there is no endurance and of the eternal [the soul] there is no change. This they have concluded by studying the nature of both. That which pervades the entire body you should know to be indestructible. No one is able to destroy that imperishable soul. Bhagavad-gita-2.16 & 17
An excerpt from the purport by Purport by A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of ISKCON,
(International Society for Krishna Consciousness).
There is no endurance of the changing body. That the body is changing every moment by the actions and reactions of the different cells is admitted by modern medical science; and thus growth and old age are taking place in the body. But the spirit soul exists permanently, remaining the same despite all changes of the body and the mind. That is the difference between matter and spirit. By nature, the body is ever changing, and the soul is eternal. This conclusion is established by all classes of seers of the truth, both impersonalist and personalist. In the Vishnu Purana (2.12.38) it is stated that Vishnu and His abodes all have self-illuminated spiritual existence (jyotimsii vishnur bhuvanani vishnuh). The words existent and nonexistent refer only to spirit and matter. That is the version of all seers of truth.

Lord Krishna gives further information in chapter two, verses 22 to 25,
As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones. The soul can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, nor burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind. This individual soul is unbreakable and insoluble, and can be neither burned nor dried. He is everlasting, present everywhere, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same. It is said that the soul is invisible, inconceivable and immutable. Knowing this, you should not grieve for the body.

Undoubtedly. Almost all the religions believed in life after death, in one way or the other. It was only after the Second Constantinople conference, the RCC repudiated the theory of rebirth.

Yes, there is life after death, that is another life, which may be human or bird or animal, insect etc.

For me, there is not another life after next death. My Guruji has told me that if you follow all good paths given by God during this life, there will end of future birth to me. So I really follow them.

I hope if, most people would be like me on this earth, this plenate would be better to live in. If you wish to discontinue further births to your self, pls follow me......... Follow Hindu Shastras.......

My Grandmother suddenly smiled ,her eyes got bright ,she raised her arms & hands up and cried out Jesus !! and passed on. when she was at the nursing home.laying in bed she had cancer
I told this to a lady who said she worked at a nursing home and she told me that's not really all that rare for people to do that.so I would say that my grandmother went to heaven brought there by Jesus? an angel?

many people have died on the operating table and saw family members and friends who had already passed on, then they came back and every one of them or not afraid of death after that experiance

We cant define and perceive so many things in this world and how can you prove about heaven & hell. We cant define what is time? What is soul & life in us? Even in today's science we have so many assumptions. Without faith in the unseen things, today's science is meaningless. In Mathematics, we say Limit tends to Infinity to solve so many real time problems. What is this Infinity? Human mind cant preceive this. Next in Physics, in Material Science, we assume a smallest wave particle called "Photon" which dont have any proof of existence physically, then only we proceed with atomic physics. Without such assumption & faith, physics is meaningless. We measure distance in light years. Today the edge of our universe is 4 billion light years away from us. We cant even imagine 1 light year. So likewise we have so many things which we cant reason out. But we have to stop at some point with faith in it. Otherwise we will hit the wall and damage our head. All we can say about heaven is few things which is present now will not be there. That life is eternal. There is no time dimension. This situation itself is beyond our perception bcos now we measure everything with respect to time. Next is no false & negative things will be present in heavens. This situation also cant be imagined as we are always used to live with positive and negative things here. Scientists say that time is always moving in a forward direction with relation to the expanding universe which is expanding at the speed of light. As per Newton's law they say this cant go on forever. One day it will stop and start contracting. At that instant, time will start flowing in the reverse direction. This situation is beleived by Christians, Muslims & Jews as Judgement day when we will see all our actions which we did in the earth. At this moment only truth will prevail. All falsehood will vanish. We have to conlude with Faith at some point or simply say I dont believe it. It is our choice.

yes, there is...there is a Heaven and a Hell...the thing is, you have to decide where u want to go...i personally choose Heaven where there is endless joy and love but you can choose Hell if you want, where u shall feel the pain of fire constanly, never endig, close yor eyes and imagine standing in a Hot firey pit forever, on and on and on and on...if you would like to learn about the Lord the i suggest you read the Bible, go to church and talk to God, did you really belive he died just for you to recieve nothing...no, he Loves you waaayyy more than u can imagine and wants you to go to Heaven, thats why He died for you...he died for you when he could have Completely destroyed Everything and started over like He did with the Great Flood and Noah...

There is no soul sleep of the righteous. Only the damned sleep in their graves. Those that have died in Christ now reside in heaven.

The spiritual bodies of the righteous will result from the joining of their heavenly natures with their resurrected bodies at the second coming of Christ at the final judgment.

Those that are damned will awake from their sleep to be judged and join Satan in their separation from God in Hell.
