Gita Chpt II, V. 22: As a man casting off worn-out garments takes other new ones, so the dweller in the body casting off worn-out bodies takes others that are new. Generally in public address Maharishi was the teacher of a transcendent in life, his teaching primarily was to the bringing of a 'heaven on earth' from within people while people are on earth. [Millenarianism (also millenarism) is the belief by a religious, social, or political group or movement in a coming major transformation of society, after which all things will be changed.] Maharishi’s public teaching was of TM as a spiritual practice primarily and he only would edge on the subject of transmigration. Early within his teaching in the West he simply did not unpack transmigration other than to quip things like, “..Reincarnation, is for the ignorant.”. A more complete cosmology including transmigration appears only further down written in to text of commentary of the translated II.18 Bhagavad Gita verse. While TM’ers officially assert that TM is not a religion and US Federal District Court affirms this opinion, a communal feeling about transmigration as expressed in Vedic nomenclature is apparent in the group. However, Maharishi’s own teacher Swami Brahmananda Saraswati certainly waded in on the subject. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : es·cha·tol·o·gy noun 1. the part of theology concerned with death, judgment, and the final destiny of the soul and of humankind. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : After all, “Things got a little heated at the Vatican this week when an Italian journalist reported that Pope Francis denied the existence of hell.” https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/03/30/598293419/pope-to-world-hell-does-exist https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/03/30/598293419/pope-to-world-hell-does-exist
