Anonymous: Respected, 1) Is it true that the Vedas (the Rigveda, the Yajurveda, the Samaveda and the Atharvaveda), the Samhitas, the Brahmanas, the Aranyakas, the Upanishads and the Sutra literature allow the possibility of suicide as stated in that article?
Swami Ram Swarup: No please, in the four Vedas as well as holy Granths based on Vedas written by Rishis, Munis never promote suicide attempt even suicide is sin.
Suicide
Suicide occurs in respect of those who indulge in illusion. Due to illusion, they are demoralised, lose patience. When the creation starts then at the beginning of every creation, God gives the knowledge of four Vedas to Rishis/human beings, to become learned by destroying the illusion. But those who due to one or the other reason, do not listen Vedas, they become unable to understand the motto of the human life and therefore the illusion effects them. As a result, they lose heart and commit suicide which is the greatest sin of human life. They even do not understand that due to their said act of sin, they will have to face more and more sorrows in the next birth. Even they are devoid of best human body which is meant to achieve salvation while doing all moral duties under the guidance of learned acharya of Vedic philosophy.

Anonymous: आदि काल में जीवात्मा का क्या अस्तित्व था,,क्या जीवात्माओं की संख्या स्थिर है?
Swami Ram Swarup: Jeevatama kabhi nahi badalti isliye aadikaal mein bhi aisee hi thi jaisee vartman kaal mein hai. Jeevatmayein asankhya hain lekin unki ginati ek sthir number mein aati hain na jyada na kam (constant).
