What happens after death?

Bhagavad Gita

BG 2.13: As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.

BG 2.22: As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones.

Killing of Plants and bacteria while cooking Vegtarian food.

By -
It is written in purport of Bhagavad Gita (14.16) that one should not kill any living entity. But, microorganisms (bacteria, virus) are always killed by us and plants are also living entities. While one accepts that one should not kill animals for eating, but what about plants and bacteria and vermins? Does that incur sin? Yes, killing any living entity knowingly, or even unknowingly, incurs sinful reactions. The Supreme Lord is the supreme Father of all beings and every living entity has the right to live in this world, just as we humans do. We do not have the right, because of being in a superior life form, to needlessly take the life of or even cause pain to any other living entity; rather as human beings we are expected to show compassion to these innocent creatures. In fact, Srimad Bhagavatam describes that it is the duty of a grihastha (householder) to protect and maintain even the insects, lizards and other lower life forms as if they were one's own children, what to speak o...

Answer: Essentially there is no difference in the message of Krishna and the message of Jesus. Like father, like son. The very essence of Jesus' teachings is bhakti, or pure devotion to the Supreme Being. Jesus was preaching perfectly, and his universal message is nondifferent from the teachings of Krishna. Examples are as follows: Message of Jesus :- Man has to change his heart, give up sense gratification and turn to God with complete determination--"Thou shalt love The Lord Thy God with all Thy heart, with all Thy soul, and with all Thy might." Bhagavad-gita "Always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me and offer your homage unto Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are My very dear friend" (Bhagavad-gita 18.65). "To those who are constantly devoted to serving Me with love, I give the understanding by which they can come to Me" (Bhagavad-gita 10.10). "To show them special mercy, I, dwelling in their h...

In B hagavad Gita (BG) Lord Krishna instructs to Arjuna, BG 2.70 : A person who is not disturbed by the incessant flow of desires -- that enter like rivers into the ocean, which is ever being filled but is always still -- can alone achieve peace , and not the man who strives to satisfy such desires. BG 2.71 : A person who has given up all desires for sense gratification, who lives free from desires, who has given up all sense of proprietorship and is devoid of false ego -- he alone can attain real peace. BG 2.66 : One who is not connected with the Supreme [in Krishna consciousness] can have neither transcendental intelligence nor a steady mind, without which there is no possibility of peace. And how can there be any happiness without peace? BG 5.29 and Svetasvatara Upanishad 6.7 People are anxious to attain peace in the material world. But they do not know the formula for peace, which is explained here . "Men should offer everything to the transcendental service of the Supre...
