Beyond the Sand Castle Civilization
Our modern day civilization based on the false bodily conception is not very solid. Even though it may appear to be very nice, it can collapse at any time. It is like a sand castle, which although it may appear to very nice, is washed into the sea the next time the tide comes in. The most solid culture is Vedic culture. That culture has pervaded this universe since time immemorial. Only due to the extremely demoniac influence of the age of Kali, the Vedic culture is now greatly subdued. However, it is still going strong in the form of the Krishna consciousness movement. And very soon, by the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, it will again become predominant on this planet.
Please accept my sincere obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I would like to know what happens to a soul if ever the person dies before the prescribed time, whether in an accident or if the latter has been murdered or else killed via suicide. Does the soul wait somewhere for the initial prescribed time of its current body's death before getting the opportunity to enter another new body; or does it immediately enter a new body? If it waits for its prescribed time, where does it wait and what happens during that particular period?
Thank you for guiding me Gurudeva.

My Dear Anand,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
No matter how he dies, the soul right away takes another body according to his consciousness at the time of his death. This is why we must always be Krishna conscious, because in this most dangerous age we never know when death may take us. Our death may be timely or untimely. This we do not know. So to be safe we must always remember Lord Sri Krishna at every minute.
I hope this meets you in the best of health and in an ecstatic mood.
Your ever well-wisher,
Sankarshan Das Adhikari
