Beyond Death - Real Ghosts &...

Sripad Jagannatha Dasa

“When we die first we are taken to task by Yamaraj the Lord of death and taken to one of the twenty eight hellish planets to be punished before being put into a new body in the next life” Srimad Bhagavatam 
 
"Those who are attached to their family, house, village or country do not receive a gross body made of material elements but remain in a subtle body, composed of mind, ego, and intelligence. Those who live in such subtle bodies are called ghosts. This ghostly position is very painful because a ghost has intelligence, mind, and ego and wants to enjoy material life, but because he doesn’t have a gross material body, he can only create disturbances for want of material satisfaction." A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada 
 
Death - it comes to us all. it is a sacrifice for the good life we lead at the end of our long fortuitous road. Or is it? For millenniums the yogis of India following the ancient Vedic path have clearly spoken about what we call in the west- life after death. To the unenlightened materialist, life begins with birth and ends with the final inevitable dissolution of the gross material body. But to the enlightened ones ordinary life and death are seen as nothing extraordinary - and at most the unclouded end of the infinite beginning. It is true that some of the more virtuous and godly among us may escape the never-ending wheel of repeated birth and death however most are commanded to return to this material world by the process of reincarnation, or if they are exceptionally unlucky hover around this gross material sphere for untold eons as homeless, restless, disembodied, hopeless, spirits. It is of these unfortunate souls to whom we address this unique audiobook. Here for the first time is the secret yoga of the ghostly realms directly from the ancient Vedic sastras of spiritual India.
