Pranam
Ghost and others
Ghost in any Veda and upanishads spoken?. Never anywhere. Pretha
,picasa words are away from the truth. So Ghost is unknown, who knew the
stellar from the earth; so knowledgeable they were, had there been one as
ghost, should have spoken about it. One finds additions only under the
Atharva veda which are later innovations after BCE 3102 or at the time of
kaliyugam within 5000 years. B G reflects in chap 8 several births as
enunciated by the Lord; had there been one ghost, that birth would have
also been spoken in Vedas and B G chap 8.
yaṁ yaṁ vāpi smaran bhāvaṁ tyajaty ante kalevaram
taṁ tam evaiti kaunteya sadā tad-bhāva-bhāvitaḥ
“Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, that state
he will attain without fail.” (Gītā 8.6)
<https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/8/6/> So the verses go upto 8.13. And
every birth is spoken, even according to the deity worship. In chap 2 Na
jayate speaks about the soul as not destroyable. Human body has only the
soul and the body. Entrance of the soul is life and leaving the body is
death. Body is burnt or buried. Soul goes to change and seek another body.
Other than this end of soul’s rebirth is Moksha. In between where is the
ghost without legs or white airy etc? Pretham is certain; Pisasam is
imaginary. Siranjeevi is deatless in any shape or in air as siddhas walks
are seen or felt. In the same state an existence of pisasu affecting people
is nothing but fear psychosis. KR IRS 181121
