There is a great difference in the way Christianity, Islam, and Judaism perceives death in comparison to these two Indian religions. For Hindus and Sikhs, birth, and death repeat for every single person in a continuous cycle. The main idea is that each person repeatedly undergoes birth, and death in order his or her soul may be completely purified to join the divine cosmic consciousness (Harold, 2000).

A typical example of Indian religions is the Hinduism and Sikhism. These two religions share in the same core beliefs. Their way of worship and rituals, citing their communal origin, traits, and literary pieces are similar. The ultimate common belief found in Hinduism and Sikhism is the Moksha.

One can decide whether to nurture or uproot the already laid actions and thoughts that exist in the unconsciousness. Therefore, everyone thinks and acts on town free will.

In addition, there is a thought that people store memory from the earlier lives, and from birth, and that, including the various additions and deletions of memory made through free choice in the present life have a hand in influencing rebirth, in the next life. From such a view, the beginning of conception is the born again, or rebirth of a fully person who has lived many years (Harold, 2000)......
