Q: Could you please let me know if it’s possible to spiritually contact a deceased soul? How do I know if the soul is happy or not after death?
ALOKDA: Following death of the body, the soul withdraws into the psychic world shedding one sheath after the other. The first sheath to be shed is the vital sheath which in normal circumstances takes about two weeks to two months. It is during this passage that the departed may still experience joy and grief. But once it passes beyond the vital worlds it is in a glad state. Finally, it passes into the psychic world where it is in a state of peace and joy. By this time all its strings of attachment and memories of those left behind is dissolved. There is no further contact with the world.
If we try to call such a soul it is quite likely that some beings of the vital world may get in touch with us and start fooling us. It is naturally dangerous and hence inadmissible to try contacting the departed soul.
Affectionately
Alok da
