When a person dies, three things remain:
- The Body – which is left behind.
- The Soul Principle (Atam Tattva) – which merges with the Supreme Soul (Paramatam Tattva).
- The Astral Body (Sukshma Sharir) – which continues to exist and roam.
If a person has done deep spiritual practice, they may leave behind multiple astral bodies. For example, if someone visits a temple and strongly connects with it, they can leave a part of their astral body there.

Astral Bodies and Spiritual Growth
People who do regular chanting (jaap) develop strong kundalini energy, which helps them rise to higher spiritual dimensions.
The more jaap a person does, the higher their dimension will be.
If a person reaches the same dimension where their astral body from a past life exists, then that past astral body will reconnect with them.
If someone had multiple astral bodies in different dimensions from past lives, each time they reach a dimension where a past astral body exists, it will establish a connection with them.
These past astral bodies can be positive or negative. If a person stops chanting after reconnecting with past astral bodies, the negative ones may create problems in their life. However, if they continue their jaap, they can purify and transform negative astral bodies into positive ones.
How Parents' Spirituality Affects Their Child?
When a couple chants mantras (jaap) to seek blessings for a child, the spiritual level they reach before stopping determines the dimension of their child’s astral body. The higher their dimension, the more spiritually gifted their child will be.
Questions About Cosmic Energy and Deities
What existed first—Cosmic energy, Lord Shiva, or other deities?
The universal cosmic energy existed before any deities. Even Lord Shiva was once a human before becoming a deity, who absorbed cosmic energy and raised to a much higher dimension, eventually becoming Almighty Shiva.
Different deities have different energy colors. For example, Lord Hanuman and Veerbhadra are forms of Lord Shiva, yet their energy colors are different. This is because they receive energy in different ways.
How Deities and Humans Are Connected?
People say we are all children of Lord Shiva or Vishnu because these deities replicated their astral bodies and shared their spiritual essence (Tattva) with humans.
When a person starts chanting (jaap), they rise dimensions. At the same time, Lord Shiva or Vishnu also rise to higher dimensions because their divine energy is linked to the spiritual aspirant.
The mantra a person chants determines which deity’s energy they are connected with. As the person continues their spiritual practice, they and their chosen deity rise together in spiritual power.
Conclusion
This blog explains rebirth, astral bodies, and spiritual growth in a simple way. When a person dies, their soul joins the Supreme Soul (Paramatama Tattva), but their astral body continues to roam around. A highly spiritual person may have multiple astral bodies from past lives. By doing chanting (jaap), they can rise to higher spiritual levels and reconnect with their past astral bodies.
If someone stops chanting, their negative astral bodies can create problems. But if they continue chanting, they can purify and transform these energies into positive ones. When parents chant for a child, the spiritual level they reach, also increases the child’s spiritual potential.
Cosmic energy existed before deities, and even Lord Shiva was once human before reaching higher spiritual levels. Shiva and Vishnu’s energies are within all of us, and as we grow spiritually, they also rise with us. This shows that spiritual growth is a shared journey between humans and the divine.
