theist 1 Report post Posted June 16, 2003 Svarüpa Dämodara: About Guru däsa prabhu’s point, when the heart transplant, the soul stays in the subtle body. Is that sound? Prabhupäda: Yes. Soul is always staying in the subtle body, and the subtle body is left when he goes to God or kingdom of God.-conversations No, the soul of the heart donator(the one who died) leaves with the subtle body on to its next destination or body. The one who receives the heart receives just the physical organ itself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subala 1 Report post Posted June 16, 2003 Heart is a residence/throne of the soul. If heart is replaced - soul remains there. It is like you sitting on a chair - if I take this chair and give you another you will be sitting on a new chair. Point is you are not a chair. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted June 23, 2003 Dear Prabhu, According to Prabhupad's book 'Coming Back-the science of reincarnation' He states " As far as heart transplants are concerned, there is no question of success, unless the recipient's soul enters into the transplanted heart." (page 44). I hope this helps! Jai RadheShyam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
