REQUEST: How is suicide viewed in the Hindu religion?
Hello,
Here in the USA, a retired pathologist named Jack Kavorkian has been helping
people end their lives. This has sparked a curiosity about my own religion.
It is my understanding that suicide is considered a major sin in the Hindu
religion. Is this true? If it is, can anybody tell me what the religious books
say about the consequences? I am curious on how this compares with other
religions.
Thank you.
Regards,
Guru
