Hare Krishna Prabhu,
I just completed the Bhakti Course of Journey of Self Discovery. It has made an indelible impact on me.
I have few queries post that, please help to clarify the same:
1) If Sthul Shrir is just lifeless when Pranas go with Sukshm Shrir then if someone does good deeds like donating organs from Sthul Shrir, where does these Karmas get attached? Are these considered good Karmas?
2) Scriptures emphasize on Kriya Karma after death, does this prevent from donating organs?
3) When the impressions of these actions are not recorded in Karan Sharir, as the individual didn't do it or longed for it while alive then how will these actions be accumulated and accounted?
Please clarify.
Regards
Puneet

1. In <a href="https://archive.org/details/FateFreeWillTheLawOfKarma" target="_blank">this article</a> is Baladeva Vidyabhusana quoted saying that the remaining karma of some special devotees at their death is distributed to their friends and enemies.
2. Modern style of donating organs issue doesn't appear in sastras, afaik. I'd say it depends on the lifestyle of a receiver if it's good karma or not.
3. See 1.

Hare Krishna Prabhu,
Thanks for your response. It has clarified a part of queries.
By the statement "where does these Karmas get attached?" what I meant was that as the actions done by Sthul Shrir leads to good or bad karmas, when the Sthul Shrir is lifeless and Suksm Shrir has already left where will these karmas be accounted for?
If the answer is in the 2nd part I.e. depending upon the good or bad karmas of the organ receptor the donor would get a portion of same but then on the basis of earlier karmas done by Sthul Shrir account statement has been submitted, how will these entries be edited.
Sorry, just for the better understanding, I have put it in a very simplistic way.
Please clarify.

where will these karmas be accounted for?
I am unable to understand the question. Feel free to ask in Hindi if it is more comfortable.

where does these Karmas get attached?
Karma is not an object that needs to get attached. It is like an account of activities and reactions. It does not need a place to exist.
Are these considered good Karmas?
It depends on what activities performed by the person who receives the organs. If the receiving person does good karma, then donor gets a portion of the same. If the receiving person does bad karma, then donor gets a portion of the same.
Scriptures emphasize on Kriya Karma after death, does this prevent from donating organs?
I am not aware of a specific prohibhition. But it is not considered a normal activity. It is seen only in extraordinary circumstances. Example - Daksha, Ganesha.
When the impressions of these actions are not recorded in Karan Sharir, as the individual didn't do it or longed for it while alive then how will these actions be accumulated and accounted?
In kali yuga actions not performed have no reactions. Impressions are nothing but deeper inclinations which are nothing but stronger desires. Desires can be transferred by association and so is the case with inclinations and impressions.
