Apr 12, 2021 at 6:53 comment added ram BG says rebirth is certain, not immediate. There is an entire Preta Kanda in Garuda Purana dedicated to the 'limbo' state between life and next life.
Apr 7, 2021 at 8:31 comment added Ikshvaku @SK It is understood BY PRIOR that there is no such thing as an eternal Preta in Hinduism. Impossible anyway since the entire material creation gets destroyed at the end of the kalpa.
Apr 6, 2021 at 4:48 comment added Artist Formerly Known As CSD All that the verse is saying is that rebirth is certain but nothing about when or what form or which loka. It might be the case that without shradda that soul ends up taking rebirth in next kalpa and till then it is a preta

Apr 3, 2021 at 22:05 comment added learner @SK I think a lot of people have misinterpreted my question. What I meant by this question was whether or not the Jivatmas of non-Hindus, which turn Preta, remain so for a much longer period of time, thereby having to avoid the normal process of departing for Yamaloka, on the 11th day. Nowhere did I want to imply that the Jivatmas of non-Hindus remain stuck as Pretas.
