Story of 8.4 million species of life

وفقا للفيدا ، هناك 8.4 مليون نوع من الحياة

According to the Vedas, there are 8.4 million species of life and the conditioned soul which is immortal is continuously passing through the different species according to his karma, under divine supervision. The Bhagavad Gita says that just as one gives up an old shirt to put on a new one, the soul gives up an old body to acquire a new kind of body.All such bodies have a limited period of life, after which one has to give it up to assume a new body. This process of giving up one type of body and assuming a new one is called death. It is pertinent to note that it is the body that dies and not the spirit soul, who is occupying the body.
