The Complete Process of Death Must Read - Sadguru

Samana Vayu:  The slow process of exiting the body will begin. of these, Samana Vayu is in charge of maintaining the temperature of the body. The first thing that happens after that is the body starts cooling down. Since the differential between the atmospheric temperature and the body temperature is significant, the Samana Vayu exists much faster than Prana Vayu. Within 21 to 24 minutes from the  breath stopping, Saman away you exists the body completely.

Prana Vayu: Once the breath stops coma Prana Vayu also starts exciting the body. this means the respiratory action and thought process will begin to recede along with the withdrawal of Prana Vayu.The body completely within 48 to 90 minutes after the breath stops, depending upon the nature of death. If it is a natural death out of old age coma it should be over within 64 minutes. but if it is a young and vibrant body coma then it can prolong up to 90 minutes. till this time, the respiratory and thought process is on, if not in the usual sense, in a vague manner.  This is why cremation should be different for an hour and a half, at least.

        If you keep the body of the person whose breath has stopped on earth or open soil there is a possibility of Revival with a little intervention from the outside. If other aspects of the system are  conducive, then the soil and elements can  reignite the needed energy to revive life. This is why, in the olden days, dying people were placed on the ground outside the house, hoping for Revival. but, today, with the body being laid on a court or a concrete floor coma the chances of Revival are very remote.

Udana Vayu:  between 6 and 12 hours after the breath stops,   udana Vayu  exists.  once you go away, then the buoyancy in the body is also gone.  Suddenly, the body becomes heavy. The weight does not increase, but you can feel the weight much more simply because  Udana Vayu is gone. This is why people feel a big difference between carrying a life and a  dead person.

Apana Vayu:   somewhere  between 8 to 18 hours after the breath has stopped, Apana Vayu exits the body.  Once  apana Vayu starts receding in a major way, then the sensory aspect of the body is gone. Even after someone's breath is gone and they are declared dead, they can still feel sensations. There have been any number of cases where people get terrified because a dead body moves a little bit. there could be mild twitching in the body because the  sensory activity is still on.

Vyana Vayu:   Vyana Vayu,  which is the preservative nature of Prana,  is the slowest to exit.  it will continue to do so for up to 11 to 14 days if the death is because of old age and life became feeble. If that was because of an accident when life was still vibrant, unless the body is totally crushed, the reverberation of this life will continue from somewhere between 48 to 90 days.

        For that period, certain processes will continue and there will still be some element of life. During that time, there are things you can do to assist that life. This is the opportunity that death rituals in Indian culture attempted to make use of.
