[flashvideo filename=http://prabhupadanugas.eu/wp-content/video/changingbodies.mp4 width=590 height=320 /]Bill Sauer, July 7, 1976, Washington, D.C.: […] Is that immediately after one dies you transfer to another body, or later?
Prabhupada: Yes, body is changing every moment. That is the beginning of Bhagavad-gita lesson.
dehino ’smin yatha dehe kaumaram yauvanam jara tatha dehantara-praptir dhiras tatra na muhyati [Bg. 2.13]
Every body…just like a child is changing his body to boyhood, boy is changing his body to youthhood, kaumaram yauvanam jara. The young man is becoming old man. Similarly, when the body is no more endurable, then you get another body. Na hanyate hanyamane sarire [Bg. 2.20]
This body is being destroyed, we are not destroyed. We living entities, we are nityah sasvato ’yam. We are eternal. The proof is given that the child is growing, getting the boy’s body. That means the living entity is there, he has changed bodies. When a child is grown to become a boy, the father, mother do not think that, “My child is no more existing.”
He knows “My child is existing, but in a different body.” This is common sense. So we shall exist, we existed in the past, we are existing now and we shall exist in the future, but in a different body. Full Darshan
