How many reincarnations or lives do you believe in? What is the concept behind it? What happens after the last life?
Hi PINUSA
So how is a new soul born according to Hindu religion. If someone is born, its obviously the reincarnation of someone. How does a soul start it beginning? If the world population is growing then obviously these are souls from the past when the population was much less .... whats the explanation for that?
In Hinduism, eternal salvation (moksha) is to become free of the cycle of birth/rebirth. On attaining moksha one would go to heaven. When you attain moksha depends on your actions (karma). Bad actions could lead to one being reborn as an animal whereas sustained good actions would lead to ultimate salvation.
USResident - humans could be reborn as animals/plants and vice versa. Plus new souls are also sent to the earth. Thats why the increase in human population :)
