Death and dying - The Hindu view

I found an informative article on death and dying in Hinduism today. The link is given below.

The first book of Swami Sivananda that I had read was "What becomes of the Soul after death". The book describes in great detail the subject of death, karma and the passage of the soul from one body to another. I was amazed at the entire process of transmigration especially the soul's ascent/ descent to various worlds or lokas. Though this is unreal from the view point of non-dual teachings, the subject is interesting and thought provoking.
