Have you ever wondered where do these souls go after death? This is a question that everyone wants to know about. So today we will tell you where do the souls go after death.

A question on social media often forces people to think, does the soul go anywhere after death? If yes, then where does it go? There is diversity in the answer to this question in different ideologies and beliefs. Some explain it from a religious point of view, while others explain it on scientific basis.

What does religious belief say?

According to Hinduism, death is only the passing away of a body, the soul is immortal. The body is mortal, but the soul goes through the cycle of rebirth. Depending on the karma, the soul gets a new life or it attains salvation. Scriptures like Garuda Purana mention that after death the soul travels to Yamaloka, where the account of its deeds is kept.

In Islam, it is believed that after death the soul is kept in an intermediate place called 'Barzakh', where it waits till the Day of Judgment. Then it is sent to heaven or hell. According to Christianity, after death the soul reaches directly to the court of God and from there it is sent to heaven or hell.

What is the scientific view regarding souls? 

Science currently has no concrete evidence of the existence of the soul. From a scientific point of view, after a person dies, the brain activity stops, which ends consciousness. The soul is seen as a religious or philosophical concept, not as a scientific fact.

Folk beliefs and experiences

Whether it is rural India or hilly areas, it is often heard that spirits are wandering around, especially those who have died suddenly or in an unnatural way. Some people also claim that they have felt the presence of spirits or have seen them in their dreams. There is no single answer to where the soul goes after death. This question keeps swinging between science, faith and experience. Perhaps this is the biggest mystery of human life, which will remain a topic of discussion in the times to come.
