Posted by Govind Sharan on February 24, 2025 at 12:50am in Soul

Madhav das prabhu ji says he is spirt soul

The Bible describes humans as having three parts: body, soul, and spirit. This is known as the tripartite view in Christian theology.

    Hare Krsna 

    As per Prabhupada,  there is matter and antimatter, from his book: Easy Journey to Other planets. 

    Matter is explained as eightfold in Bhagavad-gita  : earth, water, fire, air, sky, mind, intelligence and false ego. 

    What exists beyond can be said to be antimatter,  soul, spirit, atma. They mean the same.

        Spirit soul = soul

          I thought we have a soul, supersoul and a spirit soul also. 3 in one body.

    It may be helpful if you provide the function of each of the three, rather than just the names.

        I don't know. I am not a Christian.

        No, problem. Why don't start afresh by reading Srila Prabhupada books. You may start with some small book. Most of these are available online for free.

        This is the recommended sequence of books. The books are available for reading here. These books have answers to most of your questions.

        Hare Krsna

            I am studying the srila prabhupada books 

            It is hard for me to believe that considering that you say ask if Krsna wants His  Property.

            Requesting you to please read  the books in the recommended sequence to avoid unecessary confusions.  

            Hare Krsna

    Imho, you're confused by the biblical vagueness of these terms. Years ago I wrote a sort of clarification which is posted in the Library section of my website. You can find it by searching for "jivasoul.zip" (with quotation marks) at Startpage. com
