Haribol,

I do have a question about the reincarnation matter.

Just finished the Padma Purana and understood that for a vaisnava Krishna is the Father, mother, brother, son etc. and there is no need for beget a son to get salvation to the highest goal.

But if not a at that stage; how is it that one must offer pinda/sradha(or how it is called) to the forefathers? As I also read by reïncarnation one's soul beget by karmic succesion a particular body. Not nescecerry a human one if made some misteps. So huge question;

what are DNA relatives (father son human) and what is spiritual relatives? Who is your forefather or are ancestors to offer things to? To get it more specific; if you made a terrible mistake and beget a non human body while you leave a human son on earth, that son and son's son must offer to who? The big awnser is; your son and son's son etc must do all effort to get you out of your hellish position as non human bird after this one. Am I right? Or by very, very lucky happening (karma I mean) in a non human body meet up with a divine soul who gives you prasadam, holy names or and darshan of Visnu/Krishna and you will beget a human life form the next. 

Still, if offer to the forefathers in the afterlife, wait... there is no after life in Krishna counciousness speaking because one begets another body or lives in /on another planet (or hell) if left this body. Or one lives on Krishna's planet. But than no one has to take care of that soul because it has all it's need.  

In the Gita is also mentioned a few times the forefathers, just a good explenation is missing. 

Can one tell me where in the scriptures this topic is discussed fully? Out of mental speculation by scriptures I know so far I only can tell this about it;

In fact there are only souls souls in all universes and all matter we think to see, smell, touch and taste is illusion by the power of Krishna's maya. Means all movable and unmovable lifeforms are just a mushy sustance who got by combination of the 3 modes of nature plus the soul some sort of freedom to be and do whatever it wants. But in the end it does not excist at all in the real world.  So family or you, me , I, plant, animal etc are just illusions and the soul is what all matters. Sentiment or the anxious mental state of the mind to not get lost or rid of this body is tyring and the biggest disorder of the soul by the 3 modes of nature. Am I right? To serve Krishna in one way or another is the core of the case. In wich state or what form is not important! The intention is a little. Like by excedent do Krishna a favour, He is pleased too as he is pleased by effort out of love to Him. But if do things not pleasing to Krishna, He knows another way around it to eventually get pleased anyways, like sporting with you as you are a demon and kill you. Or use your material body by one of His devotees. Aka like a tree, cut down make paper and print books out of it or build a temple or other means of Krishna worthy items. 

See a soul is in my opinion just a living force to trow in matter and see what it does life after life. Like an actor who can play many movies, theaters and voices in animation shows, by just change dress or setting or character. But in the end if cast off all that, the actor at home is still one person and has nothing to do with all the personalities of that play of the day. 

This all brings me to the question; why are we attached to certain habits and bodies? Some are very brave and change gender or appearance or cast of their body very easy(I am not talking about ones who use drugs and kill themselfs out of experiment and such, but yogi's or such). 

Om namo ramaya!

Hare Krishna!
