Hinduism - What Is Tamas?

Tamas means “darkness” in Sanskrit. The other two fundamental qualities (gunas) are sattva ("goodness") and rajas ("passion").

Different amounts of these attributes, according to this paradigm, account for disparities in both the intrinsic nature of objects and individual human talents and proclivities.

Tamas is the most negative of the three and is linked to darkness, sickness, ignorance, laziness, spoiling, and death.

Although much of the Samkhya metaphysics associated with the gunas has been disproved, the concept of the gunas and their attributes has remained a ubiquitous assumption in Indian society.

Hinduism - What Is A Brahmarandhra?

(“aperture of Brahman”) An opening in the crown of the head in traditional mystical physiology, perhaps similar to the fontanel in young infants.

Although this hole normally closes up, it is commonly thought that if the leaving soul can be guided via this aperture at the moment of death, it will bring the soul's ultimate freedom (moksha).

The Katha Upanishad 6.16 has the oldest reference of this concept, and some types of yoga emphasize movements to aid in this practice.

One of the acts done during cremation is motivated by the need to open this aperture.

The heat from the fire often splits the skull, but if it doesn't, a long stick is used to smash it open in an attempt to free the soul.

CONNECTION BETWEEN SLEEP AND DEATH.

We die to everything we know every night when we fall asleep. Sleep, like death, is a passage from the plane of material reality to a more subtle realm.

Our perception of change over which we have no control is what we term death. Sleep is a transformation as well, but unlike death, we willingly yield, relax, and ‘let go' into it. What is the reason behind this?

We know how to do it since we've done it before and recall sleep as being pleasant and rejuvenating. However, do you recall ever dying?

Consciousness awareness is constant; we feel as though we exist even when sleeping, and when we wake up in the morning, we are aware of the same ‘I' consciousness that existed before we went to sleep.
The ego, or ‘I' awareness, has remained unchanged. We may feel disoriented for a few moments after waking up after a night's sleep, especially if we have experienced a particularly unconscious sort of slumber.
We become more oriented and aware of our environment as a result. We wake up from our night dreams to begin our day dreams, and so it continues, much like the birth and death cycle.
We are conscious of sensations, smells, touch, and noises as we settle down to sleep. We then fall asleep as our consciousness begins to fade.
The mind-ego and ideas fall into a subtle condition as the subtle body withdraws from the physical form. There is no consciousness of the physical body and no sensation of discomfort when sleeping.
Only when the mind and senses are linked to the body can pain occur.

Pleasure or misery have no effect on the Self, our essential spiritual essence. Lord Krishna reminds us of our everlasting and eternal real nature in the Bhagavad Gita's second chapter.

As we see in this life with the transformation of a young body into an aged one, the soul takes a new body after death. These changes do not deceive those who have grasped the actual nature of existence. 2:00:13
The indwelling Self is eternal and never gives birth or dies. It has always existed and will continue to exist indefinitely. It has no beginning, end, or change since it is eternal, everlasting, and immutable. When a body is killed, it is not slain. 2:00:20
As a person discards worn-out clothes and replaces them with new ones, the embodied soul discards a worn-out body and replaces it with a new one. 2:00:22
The Self is beyond the ability of any weapon to harm it or the ability of fire to burn it. Water does not wet it, and the wind does not dry it. 2:00:23
The Self is indivisible and indissoluble, and neither fire nor air can modify it. The soul is eternal, omnipresent, unchangingly stable, and ever-present. 2:00:24
Recognize that the soul, or spirit-self, is un-manifested, beyond the mind's capacity to comprehend, and unchangeable. As a result, recognizing this allows you to overcome your unwarranted fears and pain. 2:00:25

SAMSKARAS, DEATH, AND KARMA

The soul, or self, which animates the body, withdraws from the physical form clothed in the astral and causal bodies at the time of physical death (which is not the end or destruction of an individual).

The lifeline that carries life-energy (prana) to the physical body is broken, and awareness is released from bodily limits and linked with the subtle body.

The soul continues to remain in the astral body as a vehicle (mind, ego, subtle sense organs and vital airs).

All of one's acts, ideas, and aspirations are associated with samskaras (previous imprints) or karma. Samskaras are buried memories (actions, desires, ideas, and memories) from previous lifetimes that are linked to the soul through the subconscious mind.

Our previous karma guides our present behavior - we reap what we sow.
Karma is derived from the sanskrit root kri, which means "to do," "to make," or "to act."
Not only is karma the reason and seed for the continuation of the life process after death (rebirth), but our acts or karma also generate positive and negative effects in this life, having a significant impact on our current character and destiny.

There are three sorts of karma that affect the soul.

• sanchita karmas — those that have built up over multiple lives
• prarabdha karmas — the effects of previous deeds that are bearing fruit now
• agami karmas — the activities that are being done now and will bring fruit in a future life Self-realization (God-realization) destroys sanchita and agami karmas, but prarabdha karmas can only be exhausted by experiencing their rewards in this incarnation.
