Q: Does a soul enter the mothers womb during conception or in the course of pregnancy?

A: Understand that the soul doesnt enter. If you are using the word soul as an alternate to the Sanskrit word Atma then this is wrong choice of word. Firstly, the right choice of word would be the individual soul, the jivatama not the atma and secondly, the timing of the individual soul to enter the womb is not during or post conception. The mind of the individual soul is already present, being pushed and pulled towards that right combination as per karmic accounts to be settled. And then the mind begins to open up itself. Its samskaras, impressions and karmic account and thenceforth the body gets created. So we can say that conception is followed by the presence of that individual soul right when the man and woman are in physical intimacy. So say those great evolved individuals who had the ability to see this happening. And its no small thing; its complicated and mysterious. Q2: Is there a process or special days to conceive a spiritual soul? A2: Well, this is not how things go about happeningthat by trying to conceive on holy days you will have conceived a holy soul as a baby being. You have to be a holy person; you have to be a great, spiritual, pious, honest, sincere and dynamic person. Only then there is the possibility of a spiritual person taking birth in your family. So, it isnt just the days and auspicious timings that invoke such a spiritual being to come to your womb. You have to become a great, grand, truly and utterly spiritual person to have such a possibility in your life. Q3: We know that the soul is immortal; it has no birth and death. Then who is reborn? A3: Who is reborn, if the atman is immortal? Ask yourself this question -- either the soul is not immortal and that is why it is taking birth. Then it would prove that the soul is not immortal. This means that the vedas are lying; this means that what I speak is a lie or you have not understood really and you are just repeating the things like a parrot. How does it make a difference if the Gita and the Upanishads are saying that the soul is immortal? The question is, have you the experience that the soul is immortal or not? It ends up all on you, if you have not experienced this, then just parroting these great words will not help you a bit. So go deep within, explore your own self and come to the conclusion by your experience and know it for yourself -- whether it is mortal or immortal. For that you first have to know your body, then you will have to know your mind, then you will come to know the intellect and finally then you will move to the real Self. But before the real Self, there is a false self which you today think is your real Self. So after peeling off all these layers, then you may come to a conclusion. I am not going to give any conclusive answer to this question, because this is just speculation and with speculations, you will not reach anywhere. You need real-time experience and for that, you will have to go within.
