SIGNIFICANCE OF BIRTH AS PER HINDU MYTHOLOGY

The word “BIRTH” makes us memorize the joy & happiness due to coming of a newborn into existence. Birth allows the newborn to commence the life in this world, where he/she has to face many positive as well as negative things.

                                    
Normally the human behavior, while facing positive things have no time to think, “WHY WE BORN & HOW WE CAME INTO EXISTENCE”, but whenever a person feels pain & sorrow, he/she thinks about these facts viz. 

“WHY WE CAME HERE, JUST TO SUFFER, TO FACE THE CHALLENGES OF LIFE”.

At that point of life, the mind is so stressed that he is unable to think out of the box and again concentrates on his problem. But still the question of “WHY & HOW” is in person’s mind and his sub-conscious mind always directs him to explore the reason.

1. HOW WE BORN- Apart from biological process, we all read and hear stories that, there is something we called it as “SOUL”, which drives our body internally. Holy books of Hindu Myths signify that, the Soul roams and moves in the universe and waits for the right time to enter in this world in the form of living being.

                                    Only Soul has the capability, which provides us the inner power to run our body apart from outside power we get from food, air & water. The Soul does not require food, air, water or anything to survive. Hence we can say that “SOUL IS A UNIQUE AND A VERY MINUTE PARTICLE OF GOD”, which cannot be seen through naked eye.

SOUL- Never Dies (Intangible)

BODY- Always Destroyed in the End (Tangible)

SOUL has the power to ENTER/ EXIT the body as per God’s wish, however God’s wish is based on the DEEDS (Karma) performed by the living being.

The question still remains active, Why God direct the Soul to enter into the cycle of life & death?

2. WHY WE BORN- As stated above, SOUL is a form of (inner) energy, an unique particle of God which is roaming in the universe. This SOUL wants to get back to its parent, to meet its end/ to mix again from where it has been derived (GOD), but unfortunately does not have the adequate power to reach its origin. It is as simple as that, A DROP OF WATER WAITING TO END IN THE OCEAN.

                                                                        The SOUL does not have so much power to reach its destiny, so it waits outside the living world (universe) and waits for the god’s direction to enter the cycle of birth & death. As GOD, the almighty being so generous, he favors the SOUL (as it is a part of it) and directs him to enter a body to ENERGIZE it, so as to reach the God’s place and achieve SALVATION. After attaining the phase of Salvation, Soul never enters the living world.
