Answer 1

After the death of a body... the soul atman within leaves it permanently to manifest another body... a journey of life providing matching parents are available on Mother Earth. If the matching parents are available... the soul immediately manifests the new body without waiting for a moment further. The ticking of the heart inside the new body indicates that soul has manifested the body.

No soul ever enters a body... it simply manifests one. Whenever matching parents are available on Mother Earth... they immediately conceive a new life... a new body indicating that the soul has manifested!

After the death of the body the intelligence (aka intellect) gets transferred to the new body through the complex process of DNA and chromosomes. This is what doctrine of karma is all about. Karma is the only connecting link between two manifestations. As is the residual balance of karma of the previous life... so shall be the next manifestation! If the residual balance of karma prompts that one shall manifest the form of a laborer in the next manifestation... it is just not possible that the soul manifests in the house of a king!

The false ego... is limited to the present life only. The moment the body dies... the ego also perishes forever! New body... new form of life and a new ego will generate on its own! No human being has a separate mind... we only have individual brains which act as receiving and transmitting stations. Every thought flows from the reservoir of mind plus and mind minus. Mind is universal in nature. It is one for the whole of Cosmos... from where flow all the thoughts percolating in the Cosmos.

As is the nature of the being... the individual so shall be the flow of thoughts through our brain. If we have serene nature... we invoke positive thoughts from the reservoir of mind plus. Those indulging in wanton desires and materialistic riches always invoke thoughts from the reservoir of mind minus. All is the result of a law that cannot err! In the cosmic system nothing is disordered at any stage contrary to what has been stated by Stephen Hawking in his famous book, "a brief history of time".

The ignorant scientists who failed to analyze things in the spiritual domain summarized... that the system of God is disordered at some stage. We fail to perceive that science has its limitations. The prime reason why most scientists fail to travel the spiritual path! It was only Einstein who used his brain 4%... most human beings do not use their brain even 1%. In the balance 99% lay the hidden concepts of the Cosmos.

Also if matching parents are not immediately available on Mother Earth... the soul atman in the interim hibernates in heaven or hell. Heaven is located in the core of the sun where temperatures exceed million of degrees centigrade. It is in such temperatures every soul feels comfortable. Hell is located in the periphery of the sun where temperatures are considerably less. In low temperatures does the soul suffer in eternity!

Answer 2

I mostly agree with you. I think a soul can enter the body at any time during the gestation period, but the only certainty is that it is there at birth. I also think that a soul can change their mind and opt for a later time - thus causing miscarriage, abortion, etc. but they don't always opt for a later time. Some times the soul just scrubs the whole mission. Certainly convicted criminals have souls but coma patients are in a coma because the soul is not committed one way or the other - or it is needed for a chunk of time elsewhere. I would say coma patients have a soul, but they can not quite lay hands on it at the moment. Whether it is a religious issue or not - it is certainly a personal issue. No blanket answer will satisfy every circumstance. Lucky we live in the freest culture in the world and have infinite options to allow our souls and the souls of those we care about every choice and option possible. Peace! PS - at conception you DO NOT have all the components of a human being. You have a zygote - 1 single cell steadily dividing. At conception you have all the potential for being a human being, but you do not have a human - therefore, no where to house the soul.

Reincarnation


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is known that the Egyptians believed in reincarnation or the transmigration of the soul. They thought the soul transmigrated from body to body and this was a reason why they embalmed the body in order to preserve it so that it could journey along with ka, an animating force that was believed to be counterpart of the body, which would accompany it in the next world or life. Ka might be considered equivalent to the term of soul. This establishes the dating of the concept of reincarnation back to the ancient Egyptian religion but many think it dates beyond antiquity.

The belief is thought to have been an necessity among primitive peoples. Certainly long before ancient Egypt peoples believed in transmigration of the soul. If they were not sophisticated enough to understand the concept of a soul, then they may have simply called it life. An individual or object which moved had life, and the one which did not, did not have life. This is analogous to the belief of animism.

Gradually the concept of a soul developed with a further realization that the soul departed the body at death and entered the body at birth. Soon it was thought the soul leaving a dead body would seek another body to enter, or enter an animal of a lower life form. It was also thought the soul left the body during sleep. This soul was pictured as vapors that entered and left through the nostrils and mouth.

Later grew the notion the soul transmigrated to an infant of one of dead person's kin. This helped to explain family resemblances.

The terms reincarnation and transformation of the soul, especially when applied to humans, are about synonymous. However reincarnation is not accurately synonymous with either metamorphosis or resurrection. Metamorphosis is roughly the changing of one life form into another life form. Resurrection, in the Christian sense, means the rising again of the body after death.

About the first definition of soul transmigration came from Pythagoras, the Greek philosopher and mathematician, who taught that the soul was immortal and merely resides in the body; therefore, it survived bodily death. His further teachings held the soul goes through a series of rebirths. Between death and rebirth the soul rests and is purified in the Underworld. After the soul has completed this series of rebirths is becomes so purified that it can leave the transmigration or reincarnation cycle.-

Answer 4

Good question but Bhagavad Gita gives some information about the soul leaving the body :

According to Vedic opinion, there are two ways of passing from this world—one in light and one in darkness. When one passes in light, he does not come back; but when one passes in darkness, he returns.

BGita 8.26

Very difficult to know what time the soul will go into another body as after death the soul carries mind/intelligence & false ego along with it and it may get a body immediately as it might have to go for the reformation to yamaraja for all the sinful actions and then again it falls down as rains and into the soil and then into the plant which is eaten by humans or animals (depending on our good or bad karma) we take human birth or animal birth and go into the males body of a human or animal and by seminal impreganation into the womb of the mother the soul takes another body

Others can take birth through perspiration also

Answer 5

Prahlad has answered it aptly. We have a gross body, that we have, until we die. A soul needs another body as soon as the present body perishes. Just as a body can't live without a soul (it dies- some people were asking to prove soul, that's how it is), same way a soul needs always a body. That's the science.

The soul leaves the gross body with subltle body (Sookshma shareer) which consists of mind and intellect. It goes upwards towards the spiritual moon and comes back into vegetation (ie if the subtle body is not going to either hell or heaven) before it leaves that, depending on its next 'proclaimed' destination.

The cycle of life and death goes on like that.

Answer 6

The soul leaves the body violently and painfully, this is sometimes referred to as the sting of death. The body suffers shock and pain.
The subtle body, actually has no body, only thoughts and intelligence, no substance.
In general the soul is contained in the body, and even if the soul is energetic, it is energetic within the body, and contained within the body.
I am not sure whether the same soul enters a new body.

Answer 7

Though the procedure was elaborately described in Hindu Scriptures I will try to give in brief:

After leaving the body the soul roams for some time in sky and comes to the ground through rainwater and enters a plant as a seed or grain. The grain is eaten by a man and then It forms a sperm and enters ladies womb when the male and female copulate. After remaining for 9 months in mothers womb again comes as human on to the earth.

Answer 10

If you are a believer of Hinduism or Buddhism, then there are explanations about the migration of soul from one body to another.

It requires complete understanding of the religion, practises and principles. Adi Sankara with his knowledge, depth of the religion followed by yoga practises had his soul migrated to another in the form of a king. It is almost impossible to explain the concepts, principles and make readers understand the migration of soul through this forum.

I am very delighted to see such a question appearing in this forum, which I strongly feel the readers intention to know more about Hindu religion and understanding yourself. You can see the soul migration beliefs in other religions as well in some form or other.

I suggest, let the readers read books of Adi Sankara, Buddha or Swami Vivekananda to know more soul in transition. Do not read or carried away by the so-called Hindu religious mutts, whose aim is only to get power and money. Be enlightened
