Ghosts and suicide

Hare Krishna. I know if you kill yourself you have to suffer as a ghost. Now if you kill yourself and  get a ghost body do you remain here on this  earth planet to suffer as a ghost or do you go to a different planet to suffer when you become a ghost?

    ghost means a living entity in subtle body. He lost his gross body but remains in subtle body.

    His karma here on this planet is not completed so for thousands of years will have to remain in that subtle body to work out his karma. When karma completes, it completes slowly because one does not have gross body to enjoy and suffer nicely, in subtle body some sense of feelings are there like hearing, seeing but no touching or tasting, so karma will be washed very slow.

    If some people - couples unite in improper time for begetting a child than by the blessings of Lord Shiva one of those souls - ghosts enter into woman's womb and become her child. 

    Or else again continue to suffer. 

    Sometimes they were freed by the mercy of Devotees like Bhaktivinod Thakur when he read Srimad Bhagavatam near the tree where ghost used to live.

    So to become a ghost is a bad and risky decision. 

    Better to meet all sufferings and joys of this life and continue to chant even if we chant out of duty.

    Tolerance.

      So it sounds like the ghost stays here on the earth planet. You mentioned that a ghost could enter into a woman's womb and become her child. I heard a long time ago that babies born "developmentally disabled"

      may have committed suicide in a previous lifetime.  It is so very sad to hear about people who have committed suicide. They think they are ending their suffering but suicide just causes them much more suffering in their next life.

        Usually mentally undeveloped people are those who just recently are coming from animal world. 

        Their body and mentality did not yet developed to be a normal human being.

        And usually souls from hellish worlds come to this Earth do take birth in animal world starting from lower insects up to cow, monkey, or a tiger.

        Usually if ghost takes human body that person will be a very passionate for food or for sex, or for some other sense enjoyments. VERY MUCH PASSIONATE. 

        Why because, when they were in their subtle bodies without gross were not able to enjoy gross matter and when they get this gross body they become madly passionate.

        Your servant, 

        • Hare Krishna Bhaktim Maral ,

          Very informative what you have mentioned here !

          i knew that people who performs suicide or dies an unfortunate death like in an accident or disease they become ghost , but i didn't knew a ghost can enter a woman's womb . Thanks for this info.

          You mentioned ghosts can't have pleasure of senses like sex.

          But i have heard of a few incidents , where women were sexually abused by ghosts . That is to say ,  invisible evil forces violated them sexually , and Not by possesing male humans and then violating the woman.

          What are your views on this . I heard that there are certain ghosts who were very evil or lustful in nature when they were alive as a human and so now as a ghost they have the ability to have sex with humans.

          or maybe they are not ghosts but actually demons like -

          succubus (female demon) and incubus (male demon)

          Thank You & Hare Krishna

            Yes, Prabhu, i also heard such like living beings who come to Earth and have illicit relationships with unprotected women and vise versa.

            Yes, maybe there are different types of subtle living beings other than ghosts.

            In order to feel some sense enjoyment usually ghost type of living entities enter into impure body and feel that pleasure through that gross body. So it says "ghost hunted".

            But illicit relationships usually are done by black magic. Magician staying even far from the object can travel in subtle body or so and have sex with a woman.

            Usually, it happens when women do not cover their bodies properly like wearing sarees but jeans, mini skirts...

            If they keep their body open like that then they will loose their power. So such type of magicians can easily exploit their bodies.

            Because of that it is very important women cover their beautiful bodies from others. Beauty is a strength. When they protect it from other man and keep it only for their own husbands then their husbands will be unconquerable... 

            Your servant,

            • Thank You and Hare Krishna :)

        • Hare Krishna mataji,

          Thanks for the information. 

          From where did you get this information?

          • Volunteer

            my humble obeisances dear Mataji,

            i get information from Srimad Bhagavatam and from lectures on Srimad Bhagavatam.

            Your servant.

        • Thanks Bhaktin Maral for this very interesting information. I think maybe a ghost is haunting me. I am very passionate for food. I suffer from food addiction. I know that my food addiction is destroying my health but I can't seem to stop. Maybe I was a ghost in my last lifetime? I also have a problem with anger and I sometimes wonder if I am possessed by a ghost or some kind of demon. Anyway, ghosts and demons are very interesting to me. I saw a ghost sitting on my bed when I was 17 years old. I will never forget that ghost.
