The Transformation of Body

Avyaktaadeeni bhootaani vyaktamadhyaani bhaarata;
Avyakta nidhanaanyeva tatra kaa paridevanaa.
Beings are unmanifested in their beginning, manifested in their middle state, O Arjuna,
and unmanifested again in their end! What is there to grieve about?
COMMENTARY: The physical body is a combination of the five elements. It is perceived
by the physical eye only after the five elements have entered into such combination. After death the
body disintegrates and all the five elements return to their source. The body cannot be perceived
now. It can be perceived only in the middle state. He who understands the nature of the body and
human relationships based upon it will not grieve.

In between the life and death , the soul remains in the form of sacred one, which may be called as pitar or demigods . the life after this can also be called as reincarnation or transformation of body by the soul. Our Vedas refer as ,Ye satyaso havirado havishpa Indren devaih saratham dadhanah , agne yahi sahastram devvandaih pariah purvaih pitrbhirdharmsadbhihi
As per Vedanta every soul is independent one and attains the next body as per many factors..gita says smaran bhavan..at the time of death what is in the mind, case of a king turned saint with attachment to deer became deer [ jadabharat ].At the prematured death due to mishappenings , what was the cause , may be intentional or accidental . The soul is a part of parmatma so no question beyond cosmic law.

The Prakriti [ nature ]

As I have seen in rigveda and gita, only three Vedas are referred but yajurveda defines of four Vedas, so it is same as people say that there has been some addition etc.in mahabharat and other scriptures also . But as defined by ST.Augustle in Brief history of time by Stephon hawkin , the Ice age is assumed 10000 yrs. Bce . and the creation of universe at that time, our Vedas are also so old, hence I assume Vedas to be Apaurusheya [ not prepared by man ].Therefore Vedas can be considered to be the basic hindu scripture .Any explanation which is made by man in accordance with Vedas , but in hindu social boundaries is called vedantas and above social boundaries but taking Prakriti or nature in convention is called Vedastra: . Gita explains both vedantas and vedastras. According to gita the universe is made of two type of prakriti 1. jad prakriti and 2. chetan prakriti . Parmatma is the main cause of creation and destruction….. Bhoomiraapo’nalo vaayuh kham mano buddhireva cha; Ahamkaara iteeyam me bhinnaa prakritirashtadhaa. Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intellect and egoism—thus is My Nature divided eightfold. Apareyamitastwanyaam prakritim viddhi me paraam; Jeevabhootaam mahaabaaho yayedam dhaaryate jagat. . This is the inferior Prakriti, Omighty-armed (Arjuna)! Know thou as different from it My higher Prakriti (Nature), the very life-element by which this world is upheld. Etadyoneeni bhootaani sarvaaneetyupadhaaraya; Aham kritsnasya jagatah prabhavah pralayastathaa. Know that these two (My higher and lower Natures) are the womb of all beings. So, I am the source and dissolution of the whole universe. Now see that the sourse is the universe and there are souls , but this has the limited boundaries, if you go on adding from 1 to millions the total remains limited, therefore there is no question of Moksha of atmas, gita confirms life after death and in bet. Atmas remain in universe . If we take the case of parmatma as in above shloka parmatma exists even when universe is dissolved also, but limit exeeds the universe and it is unlimited and the atmas are freed or Moksha is attained. Veda says..Vishnoryat parmam padam .

The scientific creation


Prakritim purusham chaiva viddhyaanaadee ubhaavapi;
Vikaaraamshcha gunaamshchaiva viddhi prakritisambhavaan.
. Nature [ prakriti ] and Spirits [ living entities ] are perishable; and also that all modifications [ transformations ] are born with material body [ aggregate ] and the only living entity as Parmatma .
Etadyoneeni bhootaani sarvaaneetyupadhaaraya;
Aham kritsnasya jagatah prabhavah pralayastathaa.
These two higher [ living ] and lower [ non living ] natures are the womb of all beings. And , Parmatma is the source of creation and dissolution of the whole universe.
Mayaa’dhyakshena prakritih sooyate sacharaacharam;
Hetunaa’nena kaunteya jagadwiparivartate.
Under Parmatma as supervisor, Nature produces the moving and the unmoving entities; because of this , the world revolves .
Mama yonirmahadbrahma tasmin garbham dadhaamyaham;
Sambhavah sarvabhootaanaam tato bhavati bhaarata.
.Prakriti as a womb is the great creation; in that Parmatma place the germ; thence, is the birth of all beings .


This all confirms the scientific inventions of findings as inert material body aggregates in Moon and Mars and also explains that only after the Will of Parmatma the nature [ prakriti ] and the spirits [ living entities ] shall appear . This also concludes that most of the shining planets and stars may have the life as Earth as well .
