"WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEATH"
* Is there life after death?
* What is death?
* Is death painful?
* What happens after death?
* How does rebirth happen?
* After death?
After death?
These kind of related questions always fill
our mind, especially when any of our near or dear ones die. We feel
suddenly some relationship has broken abruptly and wish there could be a
connection again. In this quest, our journey to find answers to the
above questions begins.
The prime question in our minds *‘ What happens after
death?’* its actually a very interesting process. People feel death is
painful and the journey post is horrifying, where will I go ‘ heaven or
hell’ . Read on to understand exactly What happens after death.
*Disconnection of the earth sole chakras*
Approximately 4-5 hours before death, the earth sole
chakras situated below the foot soles get detached, symbolizing
disconnection from the earth plane. Hence, if you notice always before a
person is about to die, some hours before that you will find his feet
cold. Later when the actual time to depart comes, its said that Yama,
the God of death comes to take away the person.
*The Astral Cord*
Actually it just cuts the astral cord, which is the cord
connecting the soul to the body. Once this cord is cut the soul becomes
free of the body and moves up and out of the body. As a soul always
loves the body it held, it gets in the body back and tries very hard to
move it and stay in it. If you must have seen there is sometimes a very
subtle, slight movement of the face, hand even after the person has
died, its actually the soul trying to get in because it cant believe its
dead. There is still a feeling of aliveness. But just because the
astral cord has been cut, it cannot stay there and is pushed upwards and
out of the body. There is a pull from above, *a magnetic pull to go
up.*
*End of the physical body*
At this stage the soul hears many voices, all at a time.
These are nothing but the thoughts of those present in the room. The
soul on its part talks to his loved ones like he used to do and shouts I
am not dead, but alas it cannot be heard. Slowly and steadily the soul
realizes that its dead and there is no way back , then it reaches to
approx 12 feet. i.e the height of the ceiling and sees and hears
everything happening. Generally it will be there around the body till it
is cremated. So, next time if you see a body being carried for
cremation, be informed *the soul is also part of the procession seeing,
hearing and witnessing everything and everyone.*
*Detachment from the body*
Once the cremation is done, the soul is completely of the
belief that the main essence of its survival on earth is lost, the body
it held for so many years has dissolved in the 5 elements. The soul
experiences complete freedom, the boundaries it had while being in the
body are gone, it can just reach anywhere by mere thought. For 7 days
the soul, moves about its places of interest like its favorite joint,
morning walk garden, office, etc..If the soul is possessive of his money
,it will just stay near his cupboard, or if he is possessive of his
children, it will just be in their room, clinging on to them. By the end
of the 7th day, the soul says bye to his family and moves still upwards
to the periphery of the earth plane to cross over to the other side.
*The Tunnel*
Its said that there is a big tunnel here which it has to
cross before reaching the astral plane. Hence its said these 12 days are
extremely crucial, *we have to carry out the rituals properly and pray
and ask forgiveness from the soul* so that it does not carry these
negative emotions like hurts, hatred, anger, etc at least from the near
and dear ones. I recommend doing a hooponopono (an ancient Hawaiian
practice of reconciliation and forgiveness) for 15 minutes daily for 21
days from the day of death. *All these rituals, prayers act like food
for the soul which help it in its onward journey.* At the end of the
tunnel it sees a huge bright light signifying the entry in the astral
world.
*Meeting the Ancestors*
On the 11th and then the 12th day in Hindus there are homas
and rituals through which *the soul is united with its ancestors, close
friends, relatives and the guides.* Its actually the same thing which
happens on the upper plane. After the 12th day, all the passed away
ancestors welcome the soul to the upper plane and they greet and hug
them exactly like we do here on seeing our family members after a long
time. The soul then along with its guides are taken for goes through a
life review of the life just completed on earth in the presence of the
*Great Karmic Board.* Its here in the pure light that its shown the
whole past life.
*Life Review*
There is no judge, there is no God here. *He judges
himself, the way he judged others in his lifetime.* He asks for revenge
for people who troubled him in that life, he experiences guilt for all
wrongdoings he did to people and *asks for self punishment to learn that
lesson.* Based on this *a complete life structure is created by the
soul himself, called the blue print. All the incidents to be faced, all
problems to be faced, all challenges to be overcome are written by us in
this agreement.* In fact *we choose all minute details like age,
person, circumstances for all incidents to be faced by us.* Eg:- a
person had severe headache in his present birth, whatever he tried
nothing worked, no medicines, no way out. When he did a past life
regression he saw in his previous birth he had killed a person with a
huge stone by hitting and smashing his head. In the life review, when he
saw this he became very guilty and asked for the same pain which the
other person suffered to be experienced by him and decided he will have a
never ending headache in this life. One more experience I would like to
share is of my wife Prerna. She was suffering from asthma from a very
long time. Once during a past life regression session, she saw she was
the daughter of a farmer, who incidentally is her father in this birth
too. They had 2 cows who used to graze their fields. When she was around
8-10 years old, she used to take the cows in the fields and beat them
with the stick to get an enjoyable ride. This gave her pleasure but the
cows used to feel breathless on running so fast to avoid her beating. In
the life review she asked this same breathlessness to come to her in
the form of asthma, which she suffered in this lifetime.
*Blue print*
*This is the way we judge ourselves and in guilt ask for
punishment.* One point to note here is that many say you will have to
face 10 times or 20 times of what you did. That’s not true, depending on
*the amount of guilt in the soul, it will ask for punishment of
suffering.* If it has more guilt, then for some trouble he gave for 5
months to someone, he will ask for 2 years of suffering. Hence its
always said, *clear your emotions, because it’s the same thing we carry
forward to the other side too.* Once this review is done our whole blue
print of the next life is formed, then there is *a cooling period.*
*The re-birth*
We are born depending on what *we have asked for in the
agreement.* it can take 20-30 years or even more also for a re- birth.
*We choose our parents* and enter the mothers womb either at the time of
egg formation or during the 4-5th month or sometimes even at the last
moment just before birth. The universe is so perfect ,so beautifully
designed that the time, place of birth constitutes our horoscope, which
actually is a blue print of this life. Most of us feel that our stars
are bad, we are unlucky, in actual *they just mirror your agreement.*
Once we are reborn, for around 40 days the baby remembers its past life
and laughs and cries itself without anyone forcing it to. The memory of
the past life is completely cut after this and we experience life as
though we did not exist in the past.
*The agreement starts..*
Its here that we are completely in the earth plane and *the
contract comes into full effect.* We then blame God/ people for our
difficult situations and curse God for giving us such a difficult life.
So, *next time before pointing to the Divine, understand that its just
helping us complete and honor our agreement* which is fully and
completely written by us. Whatever we have asked for and pre decided we
are getting. *Friends, relatives, foes, parents, spouses all have been
selected by us in the blue print and come in our lives based on this
agreement. They are just playing their parts and are merely actors in
this film written, produced and directed by us.*
*Do the Dead need healing/ prayers/protection?*
*The dead always need serious healings and prayers for a
variety of reasons, the most important one being not to be earthbound,
that is stuck up in the earth plane itself.* There are many reasons for
the soul to be earthbound like unfinished business, excessive grief,
trauma on death, sudden death, fear of moving on the astral plane,
guilt, one of the most important being improper finishing of rituals,
etc. The soul feels it needs a little more time to wait and finish and
move. This keeps them hovering in the earth plane itself. But alas, the
time is limited. Its very very important that they cross over in the 12
days to their astral plane of existence, moreover as the entry for them
to the astral world closes a few days after this.
Earthbound spirits lead a very miserable existence as they
are neither in their actual plane nor in a body to lead an earthly life.
They may not be negative or harmful but they are stuck up. Hence
healings and our *prayers are of utmost importance* during this period
so that the departed soul crosses over to the designated astral plane
peacefully. In Hindu religion its said not to visit temples and worship
during these 12 days. But *prayers are very much necessary by the whole
family to help the dead.* One more very important aspect to be updated
with is *the protection of the soul.* Like we keep a small pen knife/
nail cutter as protection from evil spirits under the baby’s pillow, *we
need to protect the dead also to reach its destination- the astral
world safe and sound.*
