Dear Devotees,
     I was just browsing the net to understand the concept of Cloning
and how a soul enters the cloned body.I came across this article:

"It is an interesting question then how many souls are there in a
multicellular animal's body, which is built of billions of cells?
According to the Vedic point of view there is a soul in each cell of
the body, but these are on a quite low level of consciousness. Above
these bodily cells ("living bricks") one soul exercises power who is
on a higher lever in the process of reincarnation. This only soul,
having a higher consciousness, uses the plant, animal or human body
which is built of millions of cell-size bodies. This soul exercises
power above the other cells, also having individual souls. According
to the Vedic literature the body dies when this controlling soul (with
his subtle covering) leaves this gross body and moves to another body.
After the exit of the controlling soul the co-ordination stops amongst
the bodily cells, the body 'dies', or it remains without control."

Can learned members explain more on this issue with evidences from
Sruti/Smruti/Puranas? (especially related to the number of Souls in a
body). What is the time the soul enters the body of child and how?
When the mother is pregnant already or earlier, or at childbirth?


If its been discussed already please let me know the where to search
for those articles. 

Dasan,
Ramanujam
