According to Hindu dharma, when a person dies, his physical body is left behind and the soul with the subtle body consisting of the mind, intellect, sense organs, and vital energies goes to a different plane of existence.
Death is viewed as a natural aspect of life, and all Hindus believe they will be reborn into a future that is based primarily on their past Karma. Law of Karma is one of the basic beliefs of Hinduism. Karma means "actions or deeds". Hindus believe in rebirths and reincarnation. It is believed that the karma of a person in this birth decides his life after death. There are seven cycles of birth that a person undergoes before he achieves moksha or salvation.
Death is that ultimate truth of life. Moksha is the ultimate goal of life. By gaining liberation from the cycle of birth and death the ultimate goal of our cosmic life, is gained, that is Moksha! Moksha is Mukti. A person, who attains Moksha, gets freedom from all sorts of sufferings and pain.
Gaining control over the five senses is the most difficult part in the life of a human being on the path to attaining Moksha. We have to practice Patience and Persistence at each and every stage or we may not be able to gain Moksha in this life.
Moksha is attainted when the individual becomes liberated from the cycle of birth and death and attains eventual union with the Supreme Being.
This union can be achieved through true knowledge or jnana, devotion bhakti, or good deeds, karma. Purity, self-control, truthfulness, non-violence, and compassion toward all forms of life are the necessary pre-requisites for any spiritual path in Hindu dharma.
In Hindu religion, self realization is considered to be the best means to achieve Moksha. The Hindu Dharma preaches the path of Karma and Bhakti. In the state of moksha or mukti, lies ultimate peace or shanti, ultimate knowledge , viveka, and ultimate enlightenment kaivalya..
