Ravi Kishan Shares His Personal Beliefs On Suicide
While discussing the issue, Ravi Kishan also spoke about his personal beliefs regarding suicide and the soul.
He stated, “Suicide to sabse bada paap hai, vo aatma ko kabhi moksh hi nahi milta. Jo bhi aatmahatya karta hai, uski aatma yahi bhatakti hai. Kyunki usne apne nirdharit samay par praan nahi tyaga. Pehle le liya. To vo vahin aatmayen banke, pret pishach banke, yahi ghoomte hai.” [Suicide is the greatest sin. The soul never attains moksha. Anyone who dies by suicide continues to wander here because they did not give up their life at the time destined for them, they ended it too soon. So those souls roam here as spirits and ghosts.]
His comments have since become part of the wider conversation surrounding Sanchita’s death and the broader issue of mental and emotional well-being among young people.
