Swami Ram Swarup:
TVAMAGNE ADITIRDEVA DASUSHE TVAM HOTRA BHARTI VARDHASE GIRA.
TVAMILA SATAHIMASI DAKSHASE TVAM VRITRAHA VASUPATE SARASVATI.
(Rig Ved 2/1/11)

Soul residing within body is an eternal, immortal, indestructible matter. It is the body which perishes, is subjected to death and decay and finally burnt in the flames of pyre. But soul abandons the body on death and enters another body according to previous lives’ deeds (karmas). Atharvaveda mantra 7/6/67/1 and 5/1/1/2 say about rebirth. The mantras further say that if a person does pious deeds according to Ved, shastras and holy books, then he gets again human life with all happiness to continue worship.

These questions were sent by Vikas L. Acharya:
Who first wrote Veda book? Which period?

God made bodies, sun, moon, air, electron, proton, tree, space etc., etc. Is there any scientist who can even make a leaf of mango tree or any tree then what to talk of other unlimited matters made by God. Science is respected because all science matters are emanated from Vedas and are useful to all human beings. At the time of beginning of earth God makes all human, animal/birds’ bodies first which are non-alive. Then He places the souls within the bodies according to previous deeds and this is done by God only and not by anybody else.
