Swami Udit Chaithanyaji 13 hours ago HARI OM. Continued.. Beyond the ritualistic performances it is important to understand its profound meaning. Srimad Bhagavatham says at the time of death the subconscious mind of a person with its karmic structure (as determined by his thoughts, character, behaviour, knowledge, ego etc.) is removed from the body and becomes a subtle, disembodied existence. Depending on the awareness or subtleness of the disembodied mind it gets attracted or drawn to different energy levels in space. The more aware the mind the more pleasantness or ecstasy it experiences in this state, often referred to as heaven. If you die in misery you keep a certain level of unpleasantness in your subtle existence called hell. Thus there are several layers of heaven and hell. After sometime, however, often in its attempt to acquire a new body to complete its Karmic cycle (sanchita karma) the disembodied mind associates with a sperm. (This stay in the sperm is called pitru loka or being with a potential father). Then it moves on to acquire a new body by uniting with an egg. To be continued..
