Is There a Life After Death?
Abstract: All the religions of the world - Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Christianity, Islam and Zoroastrianism etc., believe in life after death. The only difference is that the religions of the Indian origin believe in the transmigration of a soul from one body to another, the other religions believe that on the day of final judgment soul united with their bodies will be brought before God for the final assessment of the value of their deeds done by them during their earthly lives. They would then, either be rewarded of punished according to their deeds and would enter the gates of heaven to avail eternal happiness or plunged in hell according to their sinful and evil deeds. Thus, we find that the theory of rebirth becomes a corollary to the law of Karma or the casual law - i. e. Law of cause and effect. The theory of rebirth, therefore, can be called the theory of Karma - conditioned - rebirth.
