How do most Hindus regard their journey through life?

Hindus of today are different from the earlier Hindus who followed the Sanatana Dharma. Those ancient Hindus regarded their journey of life to be one where they have to attain the goal of Moksha or Liberation. Today's Hindus are as lost as the rest of the world. We believe in many Gods with names and forms. We believe that we will go to heaven and hell, we believe in all the fairy tales like Santa Claus and a God with an elephant head. But most of the Hindus are in this unfortunate situation. There are a few Hindus who still believe in the original Upanishads and the Vedas which tell us we are not the body, we are not the mind, we are the Divine Soul, and to be liberated and united with God is our ultimate goal. This is how they live their life.

The soul is sometimes born in a human body, sometimes in an animal body and sometimes in a plant body etc..

What Hindus views on transplant surgery?

Hindus have many different views on Transplant Surgery, It depends on which Hindu teachings you follow or refer to. Firstly many Hindus believe that the body is NOT important, it's the Atman (soul) that we must look after. If you carry a donor card, which many Hindus do, you are helping someone: therefore you will get good Karma. Hindus believe that when a body dies the Atman lives on. A Hindus goal in life is to gain Moksha, so if you carry out a transplant you are saving a life therefore achieving good Karma. Some Hindus believe that if you have a heart transplant, and the heart belonged to a thief, you will get their Karma. Also if a doctor is trying to save your life, he/she is playing the role o God which is bad! Hope this helped! J
