During heart transplants does the soul remain the same or does a different soul come into the body with the new heart?
From: Vikas Dhawan
From the BG we understand that Sri Krsna said that the soul rests in the region of the heart.
My question is that in case of a heart transplant operation the doctors remove the patients heart and transfers another heart (from a dead body, within a certain amount of time within which the heart is still living) into the body. however it has been medically observed that no trait of the person changes, so how does the soul transfer itself from one heart to another heart.

Hare Krishna Prabhu ji,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
I am a regular visitor of this website and have benefited enormously from your articles and audios. I sincerely thank you for giving us Shastric knowledge in a simplified way.
Today I came across an article about a neurosurgeon in US, who says that he had gone to heaven while his body was in coma for 7 days. I just felt like sharing this article with you. Here’s the link for the article

Thanks once again for giving me spiritual wisdom in an easily comprehensible way.
Hare Krishna.
Thank you for your kind words and for the reference to this fascinating story. I have commented on it from a scientific, philosophical and cultural perspective here:
