Where does the person's soul who has commited suicide go? Does it get free from
the bondage of manifesting a body again and again?

Articles
on Teen Suicides: To put it bluntly... anyone who commits suicide directly goes
to hell (Naraka
as we call it in Hinduism).
There is no other remedy for one has transgressed the domain of God without his
permission. We are never permitted to commit suicide and cut short the journey.
Why?
In the cosmic system if we try to understand that it is our atman the soul within
that has taken the body and never otherwise... how can a Jiva
(living being) leave the body on its own. We have committed a crime that even
God Almighty shall never forgive. Our living life is solely dependent upon atman
the soul within to manifest and leave the body... which too is dependent upon
the balance
karma of the present and past lives. A body can only be manifested
if the residual balance of karma is not nil... in which case the soul atman within
has already left for the heavenly abode... the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in
Hinduism).
By cutting
short the journey... do we mean we can get a more enlightening birth in next manifestation?
Never! For if we were traveling on point number 60 in present life and for having
committed suicide we are awarded a penalty of minus five then in the next birth
we shall get a body only at a lower level that is number 55! Supposedly... the
body of a human being is achieved at number 58 then it is possible that having
been born a human being we may revert back to the animal kingdom for we are short
of three numbers and unless by performing the requisite karma we gain three numbers...
we shall not be given the body of a human being (the whole exercise of committing
suicide coming to a naught). What a pity!
The body of a human being is obtained by grace of God,
the Almighty Creator after we cross a total of 7.3 million manifestations (right
from the stage of an amoeba, a single cell formation... the first in the series
of the cosmic life and reaching the stage of animals). It is thereafter we are
born a Human Being and in the human form itself there are 1.1 million different
manifestations.
Human
being is the highest stage one can achieve in the cosmic system. It is only as
a Human Being one realizes God... gains enlightenment and finally reaches the
stage of salvation
(moksha in Hinduism). Never otherwise! Even the gods
and goddesses in heaven (aka swarga in hinduism) come down to mother
earth to secure their release from the seemingly unending cycle of different manifestations.
It should not be construed a mere statement by Vijay Kumar... the sum substance
is corroborated by the sacred Bhagavad Gita!
We
have two perfect examples in history of mankind... of Gargi and Maitreyi! Only
two ladies in the history of mankind gained self realization... what to say of
committing suicide and cutting short the precious journey as a human being! God
Realization... gaining enlightenment is not possible in normal circumstances
for a female. It is only when one is born a man that one realizes God... gains
salvation (moksha in Hinduism). Why so?
Ladies represent mother earth... the feminine form of God. Every woman is so imbibed
with mystical powers of motherhood (and every lady has so much of it in her) that
she cannot bear wrong treatment meted out to any children of God be it hers or
not. It is not necessary that women will take care of her own offspring always...
the inherent trait of character built into her character by God prompts her to
take care of all children of God. Due to this imbibed motherhood... it becomes
difficult for women to come out of the control of senses and the mind in totality
(the extremely strong bondage of moha affection takes care of that). The
bond of moha affection in a woman is so strong that anyone other than God cannot
break it. This moha (known as matratva in Hinduism) is the biggest hurdle on the
path of god realization by ladies. Gargi primarily a philosopher was a wonderful
exponent of Bhagavad Gita.
The cosmic teachings at her tips... she defeated pundit Mandan Mishra in a wordily
combat (shastrartha in Hinduism) and that too on the forbidden topic of sex. The
Gargi College in New Delhi is reminiscent of the importance placed on Gargi, the
enlightened one!
On
other hand Maitreyi was the devoted wife of Sage Jnanavalakya. In times of King
Janaka (one who realized God in his lifetime)... Sage Jnanavalakya was a very
revered saint. Sage Jnanavalakya had two wives. One was Maitreyi and the other
a woman of the materialistic world... totally inclined towards material riches!
Maitreyi desired pursuing self realization as the goal of life for Sage Jnanavalakya
had realized self. Sage Jnanavalakya knew the path of self realization envisaged
untold miseries and would be even more difficult for a lady to follow suit but
Maitreyi was equally smart. One day when Sage Jnanavalakya expressed to Maitreyi
that he desired taking leave of the family for spending balance life as a hermit...
Maitreyi did not utter a word!
Subsequently
Sage Jnanavalakya called upon both wives and distributed total wealth equally
between the two. The first wife was happy as ever but not fully contented. She
wanted more for she had unfathomable wanton desires. Sage Jnanavalakya looked
at her... understood everything but kept quiet. Maitreyi watching everything asked
of Sage Jnanavalakya in isolation whether possessing 50% wealth Sage Jnanavalakya
had bequeathed her make her realize God?
Sage
Jnanavalakya who knew Maitreyi well apprehended this situation in advance. He
replied in the negative. As desired by Maitreyi... the 50% of the wealth given
to her was also endorsed to the other wife. How contented the other wife felt
on achieving her materialistic goal of life cannot be expressed in words but Sage
Jnanavalakya could read everything in her eyes.
Now Maitreyi asked her husband whether she could accompany him to the isolation
of the forests so that she can gain self realization in his company. Sage Jnanavalakya
could not say no for he understood Maitreyi even better now. He knew that no twist
of fate would make Maitreyi change her desire of achieving the ultimate goal of
life... enlightenment and finally salvation (moksha in Hinduism).
The
Maitreyi College in New Delhi reminds us of the glorious life Maitreyi and Sage
Jnanavalakya lived in the yester era.
Every
atman the soul within after leaving the body remains in stage of suspension until
matching parents are available on Mother Earth. Only then it manifests a new body.
For any reason if the matching parents are not available then this atman soul
goes to heaven (swarga in Hinduism) or hell (Naraka in Hinduism).
Whether Atman soul goes
to heaven or hell is dependent upon the balance of Karma it carries. If positive
in nature... if one has Punya Karma in balance then Atman soul is awarded the
kingdom of heaven (Swarga). A negative balance owing to papa karma performed (sinful
life) earns a seat in hell (Naraka). There is no other stage in the life of an
atman soul.
