Acharya Prashant clarifies that the concept of the soul wandering for thirteen days after death is a misconception. He emphasizes that truth is singular and, according to Vedanta, the soul is infinite, birthless, and deathless. Therefore, it cannot enter or exit a body or wander in a specific dimension. He critiques the misuse of the term 'Atma' (soul), stating that equating it with the Western concept of 'soul' or 'spirit' is misleading. He argues that rituals like those mentioned in the Garuda Purana often contradict Vedantic truths and should be discarded if they do not align with the Upanishads. He explains that many traditions persist only because of fear and a lack of true spiritual understanding.
