ORGAN DONATION:


I firmly believe in organ donation.


I already Pledged my eyes after my death. Written to my son and daughter about my wish.



Hinduism and organ donation:


No religious law prohibits Hindus from donating their organs and tissues.


In Hindu mythology there are also traditions which support the use of body parts to benefit others.



Scientific papers also form an important part of the Vedas. Sage Sushruta looks at features of organ and limb transplants, and Sage Charaka deals with internal medicine.



Infact, one of the leading body and organ donation organizations in India is named after Rishi Dadhichi. (Dadhichi Deh Daan Samiti). ... His logic was that dharma was in his blood, and the punya was thus in his blood, and so by donating his blood he was giving Krishna all his punya (stored merit).



W all have read the Story Kannappa Nayanar who donated one of his eye to Paramatma Shiva.



1. Some people believe that if they donate any organ then they will be born without those organs in their next birth.



Answer:

This is a hypothetical belief; there is no concrete proof to sustain this argument.



Even if it is true, I would prefer to take a risk and help a person in current life instead of worrying about my next life.



I am sure that God will take care of me. I have that faith in God.



2 Mantras recited at the time of funeral pyre insists upon whole-body cremation, hence organ donation is against this.



Answer:

The whole-body cremation was insisted just due to a practical situation. Suppose some one died in an accident and his/her limbs got severed, People then must take care to see that all salvageable limbs are gathered and cremation done of all limbs, so that nothing is left decaying. In the case of organ donation the same was done knowingly and the question of decaying limbs does not arise there.



3 Another objection for organ donation is based on unethical usage of a Brahmin limp for Mantrikas etc


In all our karmas, you can see, all the used materials like:



dharbha pavitram, leaves, paristharana dhabhams, parithi samithu etc. are instructed to burn in the fire after usage.


Likely, the cloth used to bear the pindams for ten days was also instructed to make in to pieces before throwing it.


The basic purpose of this is: the things used for one person and one karma should not be used for other things.


4 .Actually the limbs of a Brahmin are prohibited to leave available, because which can be used for wicked and evil works by some manthrikas.



Answer:

The Number of Vaitheegas of Brahmin community donating organs is almost nil, or very rare, so this objection can be overlooked.



5. Parts of the Hindu funeral rites (Antyeshti Kriyaa) describes the return of the life force

(Jeevaatmaa) and the constituent parts of the Paarthiv Shareer (mortal remains)

to Eeshwar. Here is the Pramaan (scriptural evidence):

Sooryam Chakshurgachatu Vaatamaatmaa dyaam cha gachaprithiveem cha dharmanaa

Apovaa gacha yadi tatra te hitamoshadheeshu prati tishthaa shareeraih

(Rig

Ved, X.16.3)



Some Hindu may feel therefore that by removing constituent parts of the body after death may hinder the progress of Atman to the celestial realm.



.

Answer:

Life after death is a strong belief of Hinduism and is an ongoing process of rebirth. It is a perpetual circle of birth and rebirth. So, the physical body is insignificant.



Hindus follow many samskaras and one

of them is “ear piercing ceremony’ at the age of one, which makes the body

unfit for sacrifices because of a “defect in the body”.



When the same body is cremated, mantras are chanted as if the ‘whole body’ is offered to Agni.

Purohits are silent about minor surgeries undergone during lifetime, when tissues

are removed, an appendectomy or surgical procedures for prevention of

conception, cataract, hernia, prostate enlargement etc. and surgeries where

partial amputations are necessary to save life when certain body parts can not

be saved due to accidents or ailments like diabetes.



Thus the only derivative is that there is no blanket injunction against organ

donation, to help others.



Conclusion:

Going by Hindu Dharma’s dictum ‘paropakaaraartham idam shareeram' =

this body is for rendering assistance to others.

Bhagavad Gita, chapter 2:25

Of all the things that it is possible to donate, to donate your own

body is infinitely more worthwhile.”

If one understands it well its ok.
But sometimes people who become brain dead and the hospital asks the relatives to consider donating the organs of the brain dead person..honestly that is not fair unless the brain dead person had fully consented to organ donation when he was living.

You Are right Renu.. Sometimes even Miracles happen, and the brain dead person gets conciousness.

 

[prasad1]

You Are right Renu.. Sometimes even Miracles happen, and the brain dead person gets conciousness.

Are you serious?

The recovery of consciousness in patients with severe brain injuries, including cases initially diagnosed as brain-dead, is extremely rare but not entirely unheard of. Medical science has documented cases of patients showing unexpected recoveries from comas or severe brain injuries, but it’s important to clarify that true "brain death" is considered medically irreversible. Brain death is different from being in a coma or a vegetative state; brain death indicates a total and irreversible loss of all brain functions, including the brainstem, which controls vital functions like breathing.

However, in some cases where patients were initially thought to be in an irreversible coma or vegetative state, limited brain activity has been restored, often following advances in technology, better diagnostic techniques, and individualized patient care. Here’s what current science shows:

​

In rare cases, some patients diagnosed as “brain-dead” were actually in other states of low consciousness, such as a minimally conscious state or locked-in syndrome. These conditions can sometimes mimic brain death but still have minimal brain activity or potential for recovery.

Studies using fMRI and EEG have shown that some patients with severe brain injuries still have areas of brain activity that can go undetected by standard testing. Some studies have identified limited signs of awareness, even in patients diagnosed as unresponsive, allowing doctors to target therapies and stimulate parts of the brain to foster recovery.

There are anecdotal accounts and case studies where patients in a persistent vegetative state (not brain death) have regained some level of consciousness. Certain therapies, such as deep brain stimulation (DBS) and sensory stimulation, have occasionally helped stimulate brain recovery, although this is rare.

​

Recovery from a minimally conscious or vegetative state is rare and tends to decrease significantly with time. Studies have shown that only about 10-20% of patients with severe brain injuries might show some improvement in the first year, and only about 1-5% might regain significant consciousness. Cases of patients misdiagnosed as brain dead and subsequently recovering are incredibly rare, estimated at well below 1%.

In summary, while some patients with severe brain injuries and prolonged unresponsiveness may regain some level of consciousness, true brain death is considered medically and scientifically irreversible. The rare recoveries from severe brain injuries are often cases of initial misdiagnosis rather than miraculous recoveries from actual brain death.

OK, I know medical science is not perfect, and in some countries, there is a racket going on in harvested organs. But it is not an epidemic.

Even If we accept that medical science is imperfect and that there are crooked medical professionals the advantage of harvested organs providing meaningful life to some other individual outweighs the slight chance of reviving some vegetative state body. What kind of life that vegetative body is going to have? How much money and effort does it cost the family and caregivers?

I for one would be for ending the misery for the surviving family. I know this situation personally and still opt for Hospice care for terminally ill people.

We have no idea what is the exact state of mind of anyone in a vegetative state.
Medical science seldom considers the consciousness of a person.
Though I am a doc myself but I dont just see a human as just a physical body.
Though I cant see a subtle body or a causal body but I certainly feel there is much more we dont really know.

So none of us really know what a vegetative person is going through in his mind.
What if he or she DOES NOT actually want his or her organs harvested to be donated for another person?
He/ she might still have some form of attachment for their body.
So its not right to harvest organs from a person who hasnt consented for organ donation.
A vegetative state person has the right to die with all organs intact.

Thanks Renuka , Excellent. I have sent you and Raji Ram a mail wishing you both Happy Deepavali.. Pl see.

Turning your argument on its head.
What is the vegetative body going to achieve in this life? Will they come back and lead a useful life? If the person with a transplanted organ can perform some useful function I will take my chances. I am not attached to my body.

Some people are attached to their body.
For them they have the right to remain intact.

Dear friends,
नमस्सर्वेभ्यः। शुभं भूयात्।
The topic is highly relevant for the time. Are we not accepting that it is karma bhoomi. If so, what is karma? I don't want to say that it means merely eating, accumulating wealth beyond one's needs, procreating & sleeping, worse than animals (they do not go for accumulating wealth).
As humans, we (means in complete, including total physical body and soul (hidden divine energy), besides preaching chit, achit and ishwaram or atma, paramatma, etc) should be surrendered in the service of his bhaktas (all his creations on this karma bhoomi) for true salvation. If we believe so, for his bhaktas, if I or you or any donate our organ, then how it's wrong or non acceptable to the God (Any religion) we pray? Don't we try to interpret (like a materialistic lawyer) the scriptures as per our convenience and ignorance? I shall say a few words (collected from a few sources) that clearly says, no second thought for organ donation. It's not sin nor to be thought otherwise. If I (human) can completely kill his creations (sheep, fish henceforth, cock, deer, pork, even cow, etc, when alternatives as food are available) and transplant pigs pancreas to human etc, why a special thinking for his another creation, called Human? Are we different then other lives created by him? If not, why should we think differently when donating our living possession or dhana comes? Please think.
This topic deserve more donation and acceptance than discussion. I opine, Live (lived) and let others live. Dharma means giving off one's possession (living or non-living). So, let me say what is said:-
There are no texts in Hinduism that prohibit organ donation. Donation in any form is encouraged and considered beneficial not just for the donor but also for his family. Perhaps the most pertinent quote comes from Bhagwad Gita comparing the clothes that one wears to the body laying emphasis on the immortality of soul.

n Hinduism, it is believed that the soul is independent and perfect by itself and that the body is only a limitation. That is why Hindus are eager to cremate the body. So organ donation will not affect the soul in any way. It will even lead to good karma to help someone else.

Organ donation is in line with Hindu beliefs and is supported by the Vedas, which include the scientific and medical treatises Charaka and Sushruta Samhita:

Daan
The Sanskrit word for donation, daan is the third of the ten Niyamas, or virtuous acts, in the Hindu faith. It means selfless giving.

Seva
Another cardinal principle of the Hindu faith, seva means service, and donating organs is a selfless act of service.

Charaka and Sushruta Samhita
These scientific and medical treatises are part of the Vedas, and Sage Sushruta includes features of organ and limb transplants.

Sewa tradition
The tradition of sewa is in line with the beliefs of some Hindus who donate organs.

The Bhagavad Gita describes the mortal body and the immortal soul in a simple way like the relationship of clothes to a body: “As a person puts on new garments giving up the old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies giving up the old and useless ones.”

Some Hindus carry donor cards that state they wish to donate their organs and body after death.
Concluding Remarks:
There are no texts in Hinduism that prohibit organ donation. Donation in any form is encouraged and considered beneficial not just for the donor but also for his family. We should donate, even if we are likely to go to hell because of this donation. When SriRamanujacharya disobeyed his own guru and preached everyone the Srivaishnava moolamamtram "Om namo Narayanaya" to everyone, irrespective of caste, creed, culture, religion, etc, and accepted to go to hell himself and send many to heaven, can't we (forget what others should do or not or doing or donot) decide and document properly to donate our organ? I have documented for organ donation. By doing so, being a retired nuclear scientist and a rigid Iyengar Brahmin of Vishishtadvaitam, preaching and teaching Veda, Vedanga, Dharma Sastras, sanskrit to many for 4 years, let my Narayana send me to hell. No problem. Happily I shall accept the hell, because the hell for a few in this visible world can be made heaven, at least till they live. Regards. SriSriRamanujacharyasya dasa, V.Rajagopalan Iyengar

Thanks Sir.

Jai Shri Ram. I would be very happy if there is an acceptance by maximum members for organ donation and a word of confirmation (that they have registered for organ donation, wherever they are located) that they made themselves eligible for this divine dhana. Lord Narayana blesses all. Subhamastu. Regards. VR
