    Does Atman travels after death in advaita vedanta?

    The word 'fragment' was not used by Shankara in his texts and so it's not there in the ebook that i found online. Its me who's assuming it to be a fragment (the portion that has interpenetrated or pervaded all the subtle bodies.) The reason why i used the word fragment is because, the bhamati...

    Does Atman travels after death in advaita vedanta?

    Ok Yes you're right. It's Prakriti where the 3 gunas reside. My bad. Anyway, what im trying to say here is, when the gunas remain undisturbed, all names and forms are not destroyed but simply goes back to their original de-atomized state. That is, matter and their qualities hibernate in...

    Does Atman travels after death in advaita vedanta?

    Shankara in one of his verses gives the definition of jiva - "When the omnipresent Atman is limited or embodied by the mind,ego of subtle body, it is called jiva". {{Embodied Atman = jiva}}. I found this verse in a free ebook online and i think it was probably taken from his Brahma Sutra text...
