    YouNilanjana died by dancing, she could have stopped but she died by choice. Did her aatma go to devgati again?

    In Jain Dharma, we cannot निश्चित रूप से say that her aatma went to devgati again.

    Why:

    • Gati is decided by the total karmas bound on the soul, not by only one event.
    • Death with attachment, delusion, fear, or violent emotion generally leads to the bondage of badd karma, not auspicious gati.
    • If someone dies by choice in a state of strong moha or kasaya, that usually is not considered a cause for devgati in Jain understanding.
    • Only a Kevali can know the exact next gati of a specific soul.

    So, from a Jain point of view:

    • It is not appropriate to assume devgati just because she danced or chose that death.
    • The likely principle is that the result depended on her overall karmic state and the bhava at the time of death.

    If you want, I can also explain this story according to Jain karmic doctrine in very simple terms.
