After death, the soul doesn’t vanish.
It begins a long journey described in the Garuda Purana.
Guided by Yama’s messengers, it passes through terrifying & purifying realms... the Vaitarani river, Yama’s court... before reaching its destined loka.
The righteous who still carry karma but deserve peace...
Meaning, those who are not bound to immediate rebirth, nor elevated to Svarga... go to Pitrloka.
A subtle realm, invisible to our eyes, yet very real in the cosmic order.
Purusha Sukta — The Cosmic Being whose body became the universe 😱
This is one of the most mysterious hymns of the Rig Veda (10.90)...
It describes how the entire cosmos is nothing but the body of a Supreme Being called Purusha.
A Thread 🧵
Imagine a Being so vast that:
👉 Thousands of heads, eyes, and feet are His
👉 The entire cosmos is just a fraction of His being
👉 From His body emerged all worlds, beings, and time itself
This is Purusha, the Cosmic Being.
📌 Rig Veda 10.90.1
Sahasraśīrṣā puruṣaḥ
Sahasrākṣaḥ sahasrapāt
“The Purusha has a thousand heads, a thousand eyes, a thousand feet…”
👉 Not literal numbers, but a vision of infinity... all beings are His parts.
