the acaryas puports to Bhagavad gita 8.23 to 8.26

[Paramananda das]

Chapter 8, Verse 23. O best of the Bharatas, I shall now explain to you the different times at which, passing away from this world, one does or does not come back.

Chapter 8, Verse 24. Those who know the Supreme Brahman pass away from the world during the influence of the fiery god, in the light, at an auspicious moment, during the fortnight of the moon and the six months when the sun travels in the north.

Chapter 8, Verse 25. The mystic who passes away from this world during the smoke, the night, the moonless fortnight, or in the six months when the sun passes to the south, or who reaches the moon planet, again comes back.

Chapter 8, Verse 26. According to the Vedas, there are two ways of passing from this world--one in the light and one in darkness. When one passes in light, he does not come back; but when one passes in darkness, he returns.

these things are inconcievable to us , even how there is life on the moon as described by Srila Prabhupada and sastra .How to understand the moon is futher away from earth than the sun seems irrational from mundane viewpoints, but this is the not the issue here ( I posted an article about moonlading etc on Dandavats.com some years ago)

Lets us look at the acaryas commentaries  to this:

http://www.bhagavad-gita.org/Gita/verse-08-25.html in the commentaries of Srila Madhavacarya and Kesava Kasmiri we see how

the soul is carried to the heavenly planets via smoke , I wonder if it is a specualtion to assume this is from cremating the body ,it makes sense.And again returning from the heavenly planets   .to earth  Kesava kasmiri s purport is mindblowing: I am just pasting this part:
