Q. What is birth?
A. The entering of soul or jeewaatma (soul) in a new body is birth.
Q. What is death?
A. The destruction of the physical body is death.
Q. How many kinds of bodies are there in the human life?
A. There are three kinds, viz., physical body, fine body and casual body.
Q. What happens during death?
A. The physical body of flesh, blood and bone perishes. The fine body coming out from the physical body remains in the atmosphere and moves near the dead body for a length of time due to its attraction towards it. And the casual body takes birth or starts its functions immediately.
Q. Which is better, cremation or burial, and why?
A. As long as the fine body can remember the physical body, it will have attachment towards it. So, the quicker the physical body is forgotten the better for the fine body, for it then can proceed to take a new birth, and for that reason cremation is better than burial. In burial there will be more chances of the soul being attached to the dead body.
