LIFE AND DEATH

Destiny has finally won the race with mankind. Yesterday night the prayers of many people was heard by the almighty and he made a rational decision of giving peace instead of pain, freedom instead of bondage, shock instead of worries. Yes He did listen to our prayers. He did analyse the situation. After all He is The Creator, Sustainer, Destroyer and Almighty.
Of course, we have been taught that He knows what, to whom, how much, when, to give and to take away.. And don’t we know that the one thing that is certain in this lifetime is that eventually we all must die. Isn’t it also true that, we see and hear about millions of people dying everyday? Yes, we understand that after departing the soul either reaches the Almighty or takes rebirth. The final act in the drama called ‘Life’, has been brilliantly enacted. Death is a natural aspect of life, and there are numerous epic tales, sacred scriptures, and vedic guidance that describe the reason for death's existence, the rituals that should be performed surrounding it.
Now moving towards Hinduism. According to me Hinduism is the greatest religion not because I am a Hindu or not because majority of India consists of Hindus….Hinduism explains every aspect of life clearly and has scientific explanations for every law it has. According to Hinduism, the first mortal to meet his fate with Death was named Yama. This dubious honor makes him uniquely qualified to lead the way for others after death. The sacred scriptures of the Rig Veda, which call him King Yama, promise that all who have been good will receive "admission to Yama's paradise and the everlasting enjoyment of all the heavenly pleasures, include the restoration of a sick body, the maintaining of family relations and the highly desired apotheosis".

They say 'the soul departed' after life. That the soul is happy and relieved after departing from the worldly pleasures and 'maya' . The concept of soul gives an immense satisfaction to us that your loved one 'is there' somewhere.... The image in the begining of this article is like our life.....See it upside down and its 'Death'...So its a perception.... My grandfather expired last night peacefully and without pain.
