Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When we die, our spirit and body separate. Even though our body dies, our spirit-which is the essence of who we are-lives on. Our spirit goes to the spirit world. The spirit world is a waiting period until we receive the gift of resurrection, when our spirits will reunite with our bodies.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hindus believe that the soul is immortal and on the death of the body it transmigrates to a new life on earth. Whether this life is better or worse than the previous one depends on the amount of good or evil done in the previous life. This is the law of Karma.
Detailed explanation-3: -This cycle of reincarnation is called samsara. Reincarnation in Hinduism is not limited to being born as human.
