| Summary/Abstract |
The title of this paper as it suggests, mainly aims to deal with an important issue of human life i.e., death which has been in the focus from the centuries in philosophical circles though it is still an unresolved mystery obfuscating the human mind. The famous scripture Bhagavadgðta thus runs untiringly, “just as an embodied soul attains childhood, youth and old age through the body, so it attains another body after death. This Self is never born, nor dies ......”. This view of death subsumes the existence of the soul firstly and eternality of the same secondly. However, all religions of the world barring a few like Buddhism, do not describe the death as a horrified and unpleasant dagger hung over the humanity, rather they interpret death as an inevitable phenomenon that does not disturb a being’s existence. Accordingly different theories sneaked through the ever - long and endless speculations over the centuries, but to no avail. Regardless of it the misery of death continues its sway over humanity.
