Etymologically the term environment has been derived from two words i.e. 'environ' and 'ment' meaning 'encircle' or 'surrounding'. Thus environment consists of bio-physical and manmade variables which surround man as well as all living organisms. The encyclopedic definition of environment refers to the sum total of all conditions, agencies and influences, which affects the development, growth, life and death of organism, species or race. Environment is the source of life on earth. It not only directs but also determines the existence. Growth and development of mankind and their activities. The Tbilisi Conference (1977) defined environment as a sum total of natural, artificial and social components of the material world which are or may be in direct interaction with mankind as a whole. Environment has two basic components (i) biophysical and (ii) socio-cultural.

The fundamental purpose for me to write this book is to answer the age-old question do you really die? Is death final or not? Does the soul exists and transmigrates, if then where, when, why, and how. What could be the purpose for this human birth? Are we really born and do we exist? Or is it just an illusion? Even amongst the human race why the differences? I undertook a research in various ancient Sanskrit texts and other scriptures. This, I analyzed with modern scientific findings especially of Neuro scientists and cardiac specialists in their fields of Near death and Out of body experiences and astonishingly I found that what had been stated in ancient texts well adhered to modern scientific findings. There is some energy inside our body called soul and it does not appear to die. I find this soul, body, Universe etc, to be within the illusory world. Within this framework of illusion, the other findings take place, like soul migrates, soul does not die, soul is not the body, consciousness and soul are one, soul enters other bodies when this body perishes, soul seeks evolution, soul enters liberation and final settlement. At the boundary I would say everything is illusion and nothing what we see may be real. These findings I had presented in this book and trust readers would find it useful.
