Sadly western media and loud speaker handlers & millions of western intellectuals have LOST NO time to degrade, defame & abuse sanatan dharma & practices & traditions & customs of the past 5000 Years and demmed them as archiac, unscientific & worthless & have tried to super impose western ideas, concepts & superiority ethos using all sorts of tricks & it will surely take ages or centuries to wipe out the ill effects of 24 hour goebbelian propaganda of past 500 years too! The recent scientific discovery by researchers of University of Calgary Canada of identifying a faint emission of feeble light from bodies of living things including humans immediately before death & not identified in dead bodies or life-less objects only proves the concept of the soul leaving the dead body & joining the cosmic all-encompassing energy of "brahman" that hindus & followers of sanatan dharma have been scrupulously following for past 5000 years & believing that dead body is like a cage from where the soul has flown away to join the cosmic energy!
