What happens when a person reaches moksha?

A soul that acheves moksha is free from wants, fear, and pain. EVENTS THAT OCCUR AFTER ATTAINING MOKSHA We would realize that, 1. All the activities merge i…nto a single giant activity called life. 2. Under chaotic conditions life is analog (It depends), which after Moksha becomes digital (Do / Don't). Thus, dreams are directly converted into actions. 3. Negative attitude raises to become one with the positive attitude. This also eradicates manual force between the attitudes, that we use to tide over a crisis and is responsible for Karma. 4. Life becomes extremely flexible but perfectly reversible 5. All data that we have merge to form a single pool of knowledge. This knowledge is analog. Therefore, it is not compatible with Modern languages. 6. We would be able to understand all aspects of life including god, science, emotions, consciousness, mental disorders, etc. 7. All sensations merge to form the sixth sense. Use of sense organs individually becomes forbidden. 8. We appear differently to different people. This enables us to appease people of very diverse natures. 9. Interposed between our body and mind is a three dimensional, bi directional user interface, which also acts as a bi directional analyzer, filter and buffer. The three dimensions are, 1. Vertical - In this dimension are the seven basic Hindu gods, viz. Indra, Shakti, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Shani and Yama, 2. Horizontal/ Left to right - the four Varnas, viz. Brahmana, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra, 3. Horizontal / Back to front - the four kinds of time, viz. 1. At any time 2. In between 3. Before 4. henever possible 10. It is the above variable factors that are responsible for Karma and cause transformation of an activity every time we repeat it, which is what we call Reincarnation. 11. Brahman is the Complete Origional User Interface of life, working automatically. 12. Use of gods, Varnas, and time, both manually and automatically, would enable us to understand the how life is autocorrected. This knowlede is what we call Brahmajnana. 13. Under ideal conditions all the seven gods merge to form the supreme Hindu god Brahman, we would have Brahmana Varna and eternal time. This state is called as 'eternal bliss'. This is the ultimate state of life a Hindu can have. Thus, we would feel that after Moksha life would be effortless, efficient, mistake free and we would know how it works. (MORE)

What are the differences between Nirvana in Buddhism and Moksha in Hinduism?

Answer No 1 Buddhist enlightenment is called Nirvana, while Hinduism enlightenment is called Moksha. Answer No. 2. Though, NIRVANA and MOKSHA can't be understood until you bec…ome so, but still I wanted to try to put some as per some realised Lamas. Nirvana in Buddhism: 1. Nirvana means when one happens to be a Buddha. A Buddha is like a millions of scattered water droplets in the air. A Buddha's biggest contribution is what he/she had taught while on earth. Sometimes all droplets get collected to form a thick cloud giving relief from the scorching sun. It may not be the intention of the cloud to relief you that way, but it is the innate nature of the cloud. This is a proof of the presence of water droplets of that nature in the air. Similarly, presence of the basic nature of Buddhas is felt during deep meditations. Again, it may not be the intention of the Buddhas to make us feel that way, but it is the innate nature of their effects. 2. Once Nirvana is achieved, you are free from the following concepts which are caused and pure illusions:I, me, mine, his, her, their and yours.sweet , sour, bitter, salty all all.anger, jealous, tears, ego and ignorance.body, beauty, ugly, fair, wheatish, black, bald, hairy, short, tall, fat , slim etc.equal to, less than, greater than.good, bad, nice, nicest, best, worst, soso, ok and so on.today, tomorrow, last year, next century and so on.insulting, praising, winning, defeating, judging, comparing, punishing, excusing, surprising and so on.stress, frustrations, depression, expectations, impressions, attraction, repulsion, illness , sickness and so on.Intention, evaluation, decision and actions. This is because a Buddha doesn't cause these effects and he is the most skillful while not doing that. 3. Nirvana means a state of no ignorance, full of wisdom, no more interpretation required, no more understanding required. Nirvana is full stop to the understanding and investigation. 4. The bliss of Nirvana is like as if you are continuously in the climax of bed where all the concepts like a beautiful wife, a handsome husband, bad, good , rich, poor, jealousy, anger etc get suddenly collapsed to a zero knowledge, but filled with only pleasure. 5.Love and compassion in a Buddha is like a sea accommodating all forms of life from the wildest shark to the most lovely vulnerable creatures in it with no complain. 6. A Buddha can help you through his highly skillful teachings, techniques and vibrations. More than that he will do nothing for your bad karma. He will not punish you as well. 7. Having rebirth is completely a choice of a Buddha. It depends on reasons. A serious reason may get eligible to cause a rebirth of a Buddha. Normally, there remains no such reasons, that is why Buddhas are not born again. Therefore, whether a rebirth is good or bad depends of the reasons and the realization of those reasons. 8. Every living beings have the qualities to become a Buddha. The most important and basic quality is the sense of love and compassion. Many a times, animals exhibit better compassion than humans. Human beings have a high level of opportunities due to the advanced body faculties. 9. Buddha-hood is possible only through the realisation of the true nature of so called the existence of this universe. That is just a continuum of ever changing moments. MOKSHA in Hinduism: I will try to write as per what i understood from Hindu gurus on Astha television channel in India. Therefore, I am already having almost no knowledge about the deep Hindu teachings. Plz forgive me and correct me while doing mistakes. 1. After attaining MOKSHA, you are completely accepted by the GODs and your soul remains with them, obeying them and so blissed. 2. MOKSHA is through good KARAMs. Good KARAM means complete faith and devotion to GODs and services to them. Some Gurus say, we should become complete slaves of GODs. It is when one absorbs the complete wisdom of GODs. You are in a complete happiness after MOKSHA. 3. Therefore, in MOKSHA one is seeing the GODS called DARSHAN all the times. His/her all past bad KARAMs are now zero. He/she will never commit bad karma after that due to the bliss of GODs calle KIRPA. 4. MOKSHA is for laymen. MOKSHA is not for GODs who are already beyond that. Therefore, MOKSHA is an opportunity given by GODs for laymen to be with the GODS. In other words, After MOKSHA you are the most lovable, able and skilled Devotee called BHAKTI of GODs, but not equivalent to GODs. 5. There is less interpretations about the relationship between animals and MOKSHA. Though, understanding of the qualities of COWs may help us on the way to MOKSHA through Lord Krishna. 6. MOKSHA is an end to the rebirth cycle. 7. Even in the state of MOKSHA, it is just to felt angry for the sake of GODs, his creations and followers. (MORE)
