Significance of Jeeva Samadhis

In the Hindu tradition, enlightened masters are always buried, whereas the bodies of others

are always burnt. There is a scientific background to this practice. Bodies are the receptacle

of our desires, and our embedded memories, called samskara. Samaskara is the collection of

emotional experiences that build themselves into value systems and beliefs, which drive our

lives,often unconsciously. Collection of these memories begin well before our birth and last

evev after our death.


Studies by Dr.Bruce Lipton, the eminent cellular biologist, have now shown at the cellular

level, that the embryo in the mother's womb retains memories of what transpires in the outer

world. Interaction between parents and the emotional state of the parents, especially the

mother, are carried viscerally into the infant through its cellular structure.

Similarly, memories live on after we die, and these memories are embedded in the body. If

the body is buried, these memories stay on at the place of burial and remain intangibly

present.


It is possible that in cultures where the dead are buried, the practice started with

purification rituals that ensured the removal of memories from the bodies being buried. In

the absence of such practices, which may no longer be followed, there is a possibility that

the memories stay on even as the body decomposes. The intangible presence of these memories

is what one would perceive as ghosts and spirits.


In the case of enlightened masters, their memories are very powerful and value enhancing.

What they leave behind in their bodies are enormous amounts of energy. Hindus believe that

this energy of enlightened masters can be preserved by burying their bodies under the right

conditions in a living tomb, called Jiva Samadhi.


Jiva Samadhi of great masters are spiritually and enormously powerful, they are pure energy,

they are the equivalent of nuclear reactors.
