Great scientists, the inventors of many marvellous things, mighty Emperors who have done stupendous works, inspired poets, wonderful artists, many Brahmins, Rishis, Yogins have come and gone. Everybody is curious and anxious to know this science. The doctrine of reincarnation or metempsychosis, transmigration of the soul and spiritualism come under the Paraloka-Vidya. It has intimate connection with Panchagni-Vidya or the science of transmigration propounded in the Chhandogya Upanishad. It is a Mysterious Science which contains many secrets or hidden wonders. Paraloka-Vidya or the science about the departed souls and their planes of living is a subject of absorbing interest. We have no doubt that the reader will be helped to make a proper evaluation of the real worth of this physical existence upon the earth plane in the light of this new knowledge of the supracorporeal states of being. We feel that the perusal of the present work will confirm man’s belief that ‘death is not the end of life’, that his actions here unfailingly react upon him in the ‘after state’ too and will stimulate his Vichara or power of investigation. The appendix and the stories in the end and the very interesting poems in the beginning are most thought-provoking and highly inspiring. The portions giving the inner meaning and esoteric significance of the different practices and customs in connection with the dead form a most informative one.

It has mostly been the study of the conditions in the Pretaloka which is merely one among the numerous supramundane planes beyond the grave. Many books have been written on this subject, but hitherto most of the works deal mainly with the astral or other spirit world. Rhine, has expressed himself in favour of such belief. The fact of continuity of consciousness after physical death has come to be accepted as such by most of the modern thinkers, latest of whom, the famous scientist, Dr. This had led to a lot of research work too. In recent times there has been much speculation on this problem. Man has always been intrigued by the question, “What becomes of the Soul after Death?” The present volume, as the title suggests, treats in detail of the subject and furnishes an answer to the agelong question. The problem of life beyond death has ever been a most fascinating one from time immemorial. Lead a life of selfless service, renunciation, dispassion, prayer and meditation. He is the end of all Sadhanas, Yoga practices. There is a living, unchanging, eternal Consciousness that underlies all names and forms.
