Re: Descriptions of Pretas or Ghosts from Garuda Purana

Nityananada! Gauranga! Hare Krishna!
Dandavats and obeissances respected Guruji and Vaisnavas.

I was wondering, since ghosts were such sinful beings, why did they not go to hell and suffer for some time? Why did they get to become a ghost immediately and not go to hell first?

Also it is stated in the Gita or Bhagavatam that ghosts are considered higher than human beings because they have no body, at least that is the English translation. Surely they can't be talking about these harmful pretas and such who are always hungry and distressed?

Sincerely
Jaganntha Gauranga dasa
