What Happens After Death? A Spiritual-Scientific Journey into the Soul’s Afterlife
Paramshanti. Across every religion, culture, and civilization, one question remains timeless and universal: What happens after death? Do ghosts and spirits truly exist? If yes, what do they want from us? Do they seek salvation, or are they just lingering souls lost in the vibrations of the material world?
This article dives deep into these mysteries based on the insights of Bapuji Dashrathbhai Patel, offering a spiritual-scientific explanation of life after death, ghosts, soul contact, salvation, and the multidimensional universe.
Why Discuss Life After Death?
In every religion, from Hinduism and Christianity to tribal customs and shamanic beliefs, the afterlife has been a central topic. From bodies kept in homes for years (as in some Indonesian cultures) to rituals that involve preserving bones for salvation, human beings have long believed that the soul continues its journey after death.
Our spiritual science must ask:
Can we contact the dead?
Can psychic mediums access the other side?
Why do ghosts haunt certain places?
Do spirits seek liberation (moksha)?
What is the path from death to ultimate peace?
These are not just questions of faith, but matters of energy, vibration, karma, and cosmic law.
Understanding the Soul’s Post-Death State
After physical death, the soul continues its existence in various forms, but it often remains tied to the body through karmic bonds. In its disembodied state, the soul lacks full spiritual knowledge, preventing immediate liberation. However, despite this ignorance, the soul may exist happily in subtle or ghostly forms, influenced by its past actions (karmas) and impressions (sanskars).
These souls are often categorized spiritually—akin to castes—not by social order, but by their karmic quality, purity, and attachments. This classification determines whether the soul remains in lower planes, ascends to subtle realms, or continues to wander.
Ghosts and spirits remain due to:
Unfulfilled desires
Sudden or violent deaths
Strong attachments to loved ones or places
Unresolved karmic debts
These souls may disturb the living, enter their bodies, or try to communicate because they are stuck in a dense vibrational state and don’t know how to move forward.
According to Bapuji, most spirits ultimately seek liberation from their suffering. They do not always know how to attain it, but their restlessness is a sign of their inner desire for peace.
Helping them is not just a spiritual duty — it is also a cosmic responsibility. By helping them through Paramshanti, we purify not just them, but also the environment, karma fields, and our own soul journey.
Here are powerful ways to help ghosts and spirits:
Spiritual Knowledge: By spreading knowledge of the soul, karma, and the multiverse, we help lost souls understand their condition.
Vibrational Upliftment: Chanting, meditating in soul-consciousness, and radiating Paramshanti from within can purify the surroundings and attract higher energies.
Helpline of the Almighty: Through meditative connection with the Supreme Source, the souls can be guided to higher dimensions.
Avoidance of Fear: Never engage with ghosts out of fear or anger — their vibrations feed on it. Instead, project divine peace.
Subtle World Communication: Psychic mediums or evolved souls can serve as bridges, sending messages of love and knowledge to these trapped entities.
Why So Many Ghosts Today?
Bapuji explains that the number of earthbound souls is increasing. Due to increasing unnatural deaths, violence, unfulfilled lives, and ignorance of soul knowledge, many are unable to transcend after death.
There are now even:
Ghosts of different religions.
Souls wandering around graves, homes, and hospitals.
Entities affecting living people through possession or energy vampirism.
These are not myths, but energetic truths understood deeply in advanced spiritual scienc
Subtle Body Mechanics and the Journey of the Soul
The soul is eternal. It passes through multiple layers:
Physical body (sthool sharir)
Subtle body (sukshma sharir) – made of thoughts, desires, and karmas
Causal body (karan sharir) – formed by deep sanskaras and cosmic intention
Supreme causal and param body – the gateway to formless divine realms
When a person dies, their subtle body exits, and sometimes lingers close to familiar people and places. This is often seen in near-death experiences, where individuals recount floating over their bodies or visiting distant locations.
In comas, 75% of the subtle body roams outside, while 25% remains in the body, which explains spiritual visions or experiences during such states.
Cross-Cultural Death Rituals
Around the world, death is treated with deep reverence and diverse rituals, reflecting unique beliefs about the afterlife. In some traditions:
Extended mourning periods are observed to help the soul transition.
Certain cultures keep the deceased at home for days or even weeks, maintaining emotional and spiritual contact.
Burial or cremation practices vary, each carrying distinct spiritual symbolism.
Special chants, prayers, or meditations are performed to guide the soul on its onward journey.
Pyramids, ancient temples, and certain yajnas act as energy converters that guide souls upward.
These customs are not merely cultural—they reflect the spiritual framework through which a society understands life after death.
Communication with Deceased Souls
Contacting souls after death is possible, especially when those souls carry strong emotional or material attachments to the physical realm. This connection can resemble a spiritual “mobile signal”, where the soul transmits messages through dreams, sensations, or mediums.
However, the soul’s state at the time of death plays a vital role:
Souls stuck in lower dimensions are often easier to contact.
Higher spiritual souls, having transcended lower realms, generally do not respond or communicate with the earthly plane, as they are absorbed in more refined vibrations.
Religious traditions across the world, such as Hinduism, Christianity, and Shamanic beliefs, use rituals, prayers, or devices like ouija boards or psychic mediums to attempt communication with the departed. Souls who go beyond (to Mahalok, Janlok, Taplok, Brahmapuri, Vishnupuri, or Param Dham) are not easily contactable due to their higher vibrational layers.
Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) and Psychic Mediums
Near-death experiences (NDEs) offer remarkable glimpses into the afterlife. Many individuals report visions of light, encounters with divine beings, or reliving past karmic events. These moments indicate that consciousness persists beyond death, further validating spiritual teachings.
Psychic mediums serve as conduits between the living and the subtle realm. Their sensitivity allows them to:
Sense messages from wandering souls.
Relay emotional closure to families.
Provide guidance on unresolved karmic ties.
Though their abilities vary, the role of such mediums underscores a deeper human yearning to understand and reconnect with the unseen world.
In many civilizations, certain substances (Drugs, Alcohol etc) are used to open psychic portals — but this can be dangerous. These drugs only temporarily disconnect the soul from the body and may attract lower-dimensional beings.
True interdimensional travel happens not through chemicals, but through soul purification, vibrational ascension, and deep meditation.
The Role of Rituals, Cremation & Bone Preservation
Different traditions hold different beliefs:
Hindus cremate and immerse ashes to free the soul.
Tribals keep bones or dead bodies in homes for a year.
In Russia, some are frozen in “after-death tanks” hoping for future resurrection.
Bapuji confirms: even bones retain some vibrations of the soul. Hence, correct handling after death is essential. Otherwise, the soul may remain attracted to its past body.
Exorcisms are real in all religions:
Christianity trains priests to deal with demonic possession.
Islam has Ruqyah practices.
Sanatan Dharma uses Hanuman Chalisa, rituals, and mantras.
Ghosts often enter through weaknesses in aura caused by drugs, fear, or lust.
Atheists, too, after death, remain stuck due to lack of belief. They become negative forces unless guided by spiritual light.
Reincarnation and Souls
The concept of reincarnation raises questions about how many times a soul can be reborn since the beginning of the universe, and the continuous cycle of birth and death. As souls visit temples in search of divine connection, the spiritual experiences in the subtle realm remain unseen due to their intangible nature, eluding even advanced recording technologies.
Death Rituals
Bapuji suggests celebrating death as a festival rather than performing traditional death ceremonies, positing that such rituals may not aid the soul. Emphasizing the value of knowledge, he notes that wisdom acquired in life can lead to a greater understanding of the afterlife. He references psychics in America and figures like Dhirendra Shastri, who reveal insights into individual lives, indicating a universal connection to spiritual knowledge across cultures.
Afterlife Experiences
The exploration of near-death experiences reveals insights into the soul's journey beyond the physical realm, where some souls reportedly navigate external realities while detached from their bodies. Discussions center on reincarnation cycles and the significance of the soul's essence in various universes and life forms, including beliefs about immortality and the influence of divine entities. The narrative intertwines with concepts of spiritual evolution, emphasizing the importance of preserving the physical body and understanding its connection to the universe.
Paranormal Activities
The discussion centers on the concept of paranormal activities, specifically the potential for contacting spirits and capturing their presence using scientific methods such as voice recording. Personal anecdotes illustrate the speaker's experiences with spirits, including interactions in their village and instances where a family member described otherworldly encounters. It emphasizes that while science attempts to record and understand these phenomena, skepticism remains prevalent among people regarding such experiences.
Divine Connections
The narrative explores the divine essence and origin of the Ganga River, describing how its powers flow into the waters upon its descent to Earth. It also draws parallels to beliefs about the afterlife in different cultures,
particularly regarding the fate of souls and their connections with celestial beings, portraying death as a transition rather than an end, emphasizing a celebration of life beyond the corporeal realm.
Atheism and Spiritual Beliefs
A growing number of atheists believe solely in humanity, rejecting concepts like soul and spirituality. While this group may not recognize any religion, they often lead lives focused on enjoyment and material pursuits. Despite their atheistic views, many still exhibit human kindness and occasionally engage with spiritual or religious practices, often influenced by societal and familial expectations.
Cultural Death Practices
In Indonesia, certain cultures preserve the deceased for a year before cremation, as they consider the ground sacred. Additionally, discussions around Amazonian tribal practices highlight the use of hallucinogenic substances to connect with the afterlife, paralleling traditional uses of cannabis in Hindu rituals for spiritual connectivity. The speaker emphasizes the importance of spiritual knowledge and self-awareness for liberation, urging viewers to engage with their teachings and share the wisdom.
Conclusion: Karma, Connection, and the Path Forward
The journey after death is deeply personal, shaped by sanskars, karmas, and the soul’s desires. Whether one transitions peacefully or lingers in the astral plane depends on the inner purity, knowledge, and spiritual practice developed during life.
Through daily remembrance of the soul, meditation, and connection to the Supreme, any soul—living or departed—can gradually move toward supreme peace, divine light, and ultimate liberation.
Paramshanti. Every soul is a traveler in an infinite universe. Life on Earth is a temporary station — the real journey begins after death.
We must prepare not just for this life, but for what lies beyond, by:
Gaining Supreme Knowledge (Param Gyaan)
Spreading Paramshanti to every soul
Helping wandering entities find their path
"Celebrate death — it is freedom from bondage. But only if the soul is awakened." – Bapuji
