After Death, an ultimate truth. by Harshavardhan C (comprehension books .TXT) 📕

“Whenever there is birth for any human being or living being; death is also inevitable part of life. As the sun rises and sets; the seasons come and go; beautiful flowers become withered and brown, some yield fruits, out of which some ripen, and after sometime they produce seeds. Later the cycle will continue and the tree will succumb to nature’s curse and die; so also people and other living beings are born, live and after continuing their span of life on the earth.

And since the emergence of cultures and civilizations, there is no house where no one had ever died.

Finally, it is imperative for everybody to accept and be aware of death, because every living being has unnoticingly accepted birth.

Let us stay back near the dead body of our beloved, pet animal, bird and the fallen plantain tree for more than twenty four hours, to know about what is life?

What is death?

What happens after death?

Now let us speak out the necked truth, what all we are experienced? Undoubtedly we all must have experienced foul smell after some time from decomposition of the four dead bodies of the human, the animal, the bird and the fallen trunk of the plantain tree respectively.

It means after death rigormortis sets in the dead body of either the human being or flora and fauna, followed by putrification, and decomposition. Later maggots will eat away the fats, tissues, and of course beasts will eat the flesh and other organs in the dead bodies and only the skeletal remains of human beings and carcasses of the animals will remain on the earth and the latter also wither away after lapse of time and later mix with the panchabhoothas.

There is nobody who can say no to these physiological changes in living beings after death.

Finally whether we believe it or not, it is honestly ‘the ultimate truth after death’ of any human being or flora and fauna on the earth.

And coming to the soul, there are different theories and beliefs. Some say when once the communication link between the brain and the body is lost, which means physical death, but the soul does exist.

After death, the soul gets out from the human body joins the cosmic energy and it again joins the body of the newly born baby according to its karma (Deeds)

And if it is so, according to Jainism every matter in this universe has life and soul. Then the next question which strikes to our mind is what happens to the souls of flora and fauna along with that of the human souls?

Some say that it is definitely uncertain about the existence of soul, while others believe in its existence even after the death of the human beings.

Scientific study of life, death, soul and reproduction:-

The ancestry of DNA and gene factor, as they both remain immortal since the existence of human beings on the Earth, who formed civilizations and cultures along with their customs and traditions.

And for the existence of soul, the DNA and the gene can be taken as substitutes as they have only birth and are immortal.

And the panchaboothas, which are responsible for the existence of life on the planet earth only, can be treated as Gods of Nature.

We can read and know more and more about DNA; and gene factor by visiting the experts work on them, which are available in U.S. National Library of Medicine.

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA.

An important property of DNA is that it can replicate, or make copies of itself. Each strand of DNA in the double helix can serve as a pattern for duplicating the sequence of bases. This is critical when cells divide because each new cell needs to have an exact copy of the DNA present in the old cell.

DNA is a double helix formed by base pairs attached to a sugar-phosphate backbone.

Gene:

A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity.

Genes, which are made up of DNA, act as instructions to make molecules called proteins. In humans, genes vary in size from a few hundred DNA bases to more than 2 million bases. The Human Genome Project has estimated that humans have between 20,000 and 25,000 genes.

Every person has two copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent. Most genes are the same in all people, but a small number of genes (less than 1 percent of the total) are slightly different between people. Alleles are forms of the same gene with small differences in their sequence of DNA bases. These small differences contribute to each person’s unique physical features.

Genes are made up of DNA. Each chromosome contains many genes. Chromosome:

In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.

Gene families:

A gene family is a group of genes that share important characteristics. In many cases, genes in a family share a similar sequence of DNA building blocks.

Panchaboothas

The Five basic elements called Panchaboothas are kept in a certain balance in the Universe and the body.

The variation in this balance ends in natural disasters, and diseases in the body. For example, the Human body is also made up of Panchabhootas

1) The physical body with muscles and bones refer to Earth,

2) Blood and other fluid in the body refer to water,

3) The temperature of the body refers to Fire,

4) The oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body refer to Air,

5) The Athma (Soul) refers to Space.

According to Hinduism life and the various species originated by the combination of planetary globes and the five manifestations of nature namely air, water, fire, land and sky. Bhoota in Sanskrit means compound and Maha-bhoota indicates a big compound.
