Birth Death and Rebirth in Vedas

The Hindu philosophy states that all people born on this earth are certain to die and equally certain is the fact that all the dead would be reborn. This concept is enunciated in 27th Sloka of the second chapter of Bhagavad Gita. Its believed that there is a soul (Atman) in every live being and that it goes through the cycle of birth-death-rebirth and ultimately merges with the universe (Brahman). The second chapter of Bhagavad Gita (Slokas 17, 20, 23, 24 and 25) states that the Atman cannot be hurt, burnt or destroyed. In Christianity, there is no antonym for “sin.” You can commit “sin,” but can you commit what is opposite of “sin.” Hindus believe that a person is capable of committing not only sin but also “punya or good karma” (“u” to be pronounced as in “put” – “put it down”).

The vedic description of the Body-Karma, Aatma-Paraatma, Brahma-Parabrahma

When Aadi Sankara said“Brahma satyam, Jagat mithya, Jeevo Brahmaiva na para” nobody could understand, but when Albert Einstein said “ nature is composed of matter and energy; and matter can be converted into energy” our modern scientists accepted it. Energy is the ultimate reality known to modern science and it emanates from Paramaatma according to Hinduism. Hence Paramaatma is also called Parasakthi. The understandings of the vedic dictum is limited by our level of samskaara and level of knowledge. PARABRAHMA : Brahma means big. Parabrahma means biggest of all ,which indicates the Omnipotent ,the Omnipresent, the Almighty. It is represented by the word “ AUM”. When we say that the entire universe is its own expression the universal brotherhood of all living, nonliving, visible and invisible things are proclaimed Hence a we says” Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”-the entire universe is a family.
