00:00Recently I lost my grandmother and I read Garud Puran, even in that there is a description of everything that happens in the afterlife.
00:10It's totally based on what all karma one has done.
00:13Think of your birth. You really think some kind of soul came flying and entered the mother's womb?
00:19And if nothing entered the foetus, how can anything leave the dead body?
00:24For somebody to leave, first of all somebody should have entered.
00:27Come on, the sperm cell meets the egg cell. Who is checking in? Nobody. That's life.
00:32There is no soul or jivatma coming flying from somewhere to enter the foetus now.
00:37Puranas all belong to the Smriti literature and are very recent.
00:42They do not contain science and anything mentioned in the Puranic literature is to be rejected if it does not concur with the Vedantic darshan.
