Sanatana Dharma - Aka Hinduism (1st Bin)

[Bodhi]

thanks Ashok Ji, so can we say the main difference is that the vetAla wants to come back into the human body, whereas pishAcha is kind of ok in that state and only concerned about sucking the prANa of the living (more like a leech rather than a bat) in order to sustain its state?

now as you said both are still close to annamaya. do they still retain a gender-identity (male/female)?
