“As the embodied soul continuously

passes, in this body, from

boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into

another body at death.”Bhagavad - gétä

2.13

Even in the current life ‘you’, the soul is reincarnating from childhood body to boyhood to youth to old age.

SUMMARY OF ‘SCIENCE OF SOUL’

• We are not these bodies; we are spirit souls.

• Just as a car cannot move without a driver, the body cannot function without the soul.

• The presence of the soul can be scientifically proved by presence of consciousness,

NDE, past life memories.

• The gross body is made up of earth, water, fire, air and ether.

• The subtle body is made up of mind, intelligence and ego.

•The soul is indestructible, individual, eternal, inconceivable.

•The soul is eternal, full of knowledge and full of bliss.

•The soul leaves one body and goes to another at death.

• The size of the soul is one ten-thousandth of the tip of a hair.

“For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain. ” (BG 2.20)
