Videha Mukti - Videha

Videha

Videha Mukti is the ordinary mukti granted to exceptional people after they die, usually within 3 to 4 days after death. Videha mukti souls experience eternal infinite bliss, but the threefold nature of God is described in Vedanta as also including infinite power and infinite knowledge, as well as infinite bliss. Videha mukti souls do not experience infinite knowledge or infinite power.

In each of the other three types of mukti, liberation is gained during life, not after death. In all cases, after the soul dissociates from the body, it eternally experiences Infinite Power, Knowledge and Bliss. However, after the soul dissociates from the gross body and associates with the subtle body, the most important aspect of the experience is Infinite Bliss. Therefore, while there is a difference in the eternal experience of the souls who gain liberation during life and the experience of souls who gain liberation after death, the most important aspect of the experience is the same: the eternal experience of infinite bliss.
