Do we attain Moksha only after death? Can we attain moksha while being alive?

Question

Any example of such moksha ?

Answer 1

moksha means liberation from cycles of birth and death, that can be achieved only when you will be merged with the God.
secondaly death means destruction of physical body.now
gyan yogi,bhakti yogi will definetely be knowing about moksha before death , while i can not say about karam yogi, because the Lord Krishna said to Arjuna in Geeta that after fighting in the battle you will be liberated

Answer 2

Don't worry! If u r really interested in attaining it u can attain moksha while being alive.For that u have to select a real GURU! Then he will show u the path for MOKSHA.
Attaining moksha after death is meaningless.Believe it!

Answer 3

I cant agree completely with any of the answers above. Now listen to this: "Moksha" means liberation. Liberation from "karma". What does one mean by that? Lord Krishna said that the liberated soul does always do the "karma" but the soul doesnt say or think that he is doing them. So Moksha is attained in a living state when you no longer identify yourself with the body. When such a liberated soul leaves the body he does not have to take birth again.This is Moksha.An example is lord Krishna's devotees: Radha and the other gopis.For proper and compelete understanding refer to the Bhagwat Geeta. In that Lord Krishna imparts knowledge to Arjuna. It is called the summary of all Upanishads.

Answer 4

i think moksha is not a matter life or death. The thing which you couldn't achieve in your life you can't achieve after death because nobody knows what happens after death.i don't know what is moksha but i think it is an important question.i think moksha can't be achieved through somebody's help you have to find it yourself.in my opinion Osho Rajneesh and
J.Krishnamurthy had told most practical and reasonable things about life and moksha.i thing these two persons have attained moksha.

Answer 5

Moksha is a relative term, so attaining it depends on what your perspective of Moksha is.
Leading a life wherein you are true to yourself is the first step on the journey towards attaining Moksha.

Answer 6

Moksha means liberation from cycles of birth and death. And why do we continue to reincarnate ? Because we don't understand that all that we see , hear , experience is a projection of our own mind . Maya , as its called , is the phenomenal world of separate objects and people, which creates for some the illusion that it is the only reality. For the mystics this manifestation is real, but it is a fleeting reality; it is a mistake, although a natural one, to believe that maya represents a fundamental reality. Each person, each physical object, from the perspective of eternity is like a brief, disturbed drop of water from an unbounded ocean. The goal of enlightenment is to understand this —more precisely, to experience this: to see intuitively that the distinction between the self and the universe is a false dichotomy. The distinction between consciousness and physical matter, between mind and body (refer bodymind), is the result of an unenlightened perspective.

Answer 7

Moksha means liberation from the cycle of life and death. It can only be attained when one is alive. It is mis-conception that it is attained after death. What it really means is the libration from getting dragged behind the carriage of one's desires and longings.

Answer 8

There is no example of Moksha...

But you do good 'Karma' while you are alive to attain Moksha

Answer 9

I don't know what "moksha" is???

I can tell you that while you're here and alive there is nothing perfect because this world is not made to make us perfect, only to long for perfection. Enjoy your life and do good to others, and love God and you will have a blessed life. Godloveya.

Answer 10

Perfection (Moksha) ie freeing from births/deaths cycle can be attained only after death if a Hindu practises the job of his caste/varna he is born in by nature and not otherwise. Black smiths, gold smiths, barbers, fishermen, washermen, weavers, etc. etc. should never abandon or leave their castes' & varna's occupation, profession and do it till death which is their prayer & worship. Brahmans alone shall study, self educate, recite holy verses & attend temples; for which they alone are born by nature. Hindus castes can never be changed.

VERSES 40-44 CHAPTER-18 HOLY BHAGAVAD GITA

""""There is no being existing on the Earth, in the celestial spheres or in any universal planetary system which is free from the influence of these three modes of born of material nature. O Arjuna, the activities of the brahmanas, ksatriyas, vaisyas and sudras are clearly divided according to the qualities born of their own nature. The actions of a brahmana arising from his own nature are serenity, self-control, austerity, purity, tolerance, honesty, knowledge of the Vadas, wisdom and firm faith. The actions of a Ksatriya born of his own nature are heroism, exuberance, determination, resourcefulness, without trace of cowardice in battle, generosity and leadership. The actions of a vaisya born of his own nature are agriculture, cow protection and trade, also the actions of a sudra born of his own nature consists in service to brahmanas, ksatriyas and vaisyas. Following each his own activity, a man achieves finally perfection, now hear how he performer of action prescribed according to qualification attains perfection. From whom is the existence of all living entities, by whom all this is pervaded, through worshipping Him, by ones own actions prescribed according to qualification a man achieves perfection.""""
