Beyond Birth and Death

“Beyond Birth and Death” is an insightful book by ISKCON that explores the nature of the soul and the process of reincarnation, drawing from the teachings of the Bhagavad-gita. It explains that the soul is eternal and cannot be destroyed by physical death. Instead, the soul continues its journey through different bodies, influenced by its actions (karma) in past lives. The book helps readers understand that death is not the end, but a transition to another stage of existence. It emphasizes the importance of spiritual practice, such as devotion to Lord Krishna, in breaking the cycle of birth and death (samsara) and achieving liberation (moksha). The book encourages readers to focus on their spiritual growth and realize their true, eternal nature as part of the divine, helping them live with a deeper understanding of life, death, and the soul’s journey beyond the material world.
