  • Abstract:
  • One of the mysteries puzzling human mind since the origin of mankind is the Life and after Life or Life after death. As the Civilizations evolved, beliefs about Life after death or after Life or what happens Life after death? Got an important quest for ages. Researches have been conducted by scholars and philosophers from the beginning to till today. Different religious philosophers have named/called the term “Moksha” in different names, such as Moksha, Nirvana, Mukti, Kaivalya, Salvation, Freedom, Liberation, or redemption. In dissecting the nuanced differences between Mukti, Moksha, Nirvana, Kaivalya, Salvation and Freedom, it becomes evident that while these concepts converge in their pursuit of Liberation, each embodies different meanings, unique paths, philosophical frameworks and cultural contexts. Understanding these subtleties enriches our comprehension of the diverse philosophical Landscapes and spiritual aspirations across cultures, understanding the profundity and richness of human thought from across countries and ages in its quest for ultimate Liberation and transcendence from being better humans, in this birth and across Lifetime. In this article, I have tried to investigate the word “Moksha” (Liberation) with a special reference to the texts of Hinduism, the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Ramayana, the Advaita Vedanta’s Vivekachudamani and the Bhagwat Gita (the spiritual guide).
