Questions like these beg for more questions.
By asking this question you are obviously assuming that there "is" such a thing as a "soul", which is not an established fact. Think about it?? What do you really mean by a soul? and does it really exist the way you think it does??

soul is something which is gives life to a full operatable being. You cannot see it but u need it. And donot bother asking where exactly it lies.

but one has to make an effort to discern if the soul is a "mechanism" or a "governer".While one is the process, the other is the the 3rd party controller of the process. Much of the talk about soul takes the latter view for granted, and so follows for the pursuit for the supposed "spatial location"

will they...I think its the other way round. Buddhists believe in reincarnations and belive that soul is indestructible.

It is hindu who believes that soul is indestructible for buddhist believes in principle of cause and effect they believe that everything is ephemeral, they forms and get destroyed and forms and get destroyed.......well in sanskrit buddhism was defined as "chhanik anaatmawaad" loosely translated as "ephemeral and soullessness" thats why buddha always emphasized"change is the rule of nature" and doing vipassana you always try to focus on "changing nature", when buddhist say soul they never mean that tranmigratory thing that leaves one body and goes to another.

I have a question about a soul... If there is a soul and if it transfer from a body of one organism to another -according to Hindu philosophy- and if soul does not die what do you think about the number of soul in the earth? Do the number of soul changes??/

we have been thinking and numbering everything even those things that cant be be conceptualized in our mind, soul is incomprehensible through our five senses so there is no question of numbering

First of all we should analyse the soul. The soul is made of pure awareness. The vibrations of pure awareness are called as feelings or qualities. Therefore all the characteristic qualities are associated with the soul and are made of pure awareness.

What is pure awareness? It is only a special form of inert energy. When we eat the food, it is oxidised by the oxygen received through the respiratory system. When the food is assimilated in the digestive system, it is oxidised by the Oxygen from the respiratory system, which is carried by the blood in dissolved state through Haemoglobin. The oxidation of food is exothermic reaction and liberates inert heat energy. This inert heat energy is converted into a special form of energy called awareness by the nervous system.

The electricity is produced by the generator and enters the tube light. The electrical energy is converted into light, which is another new form of energy. The heat energy produced by the interaction of digestive and respiratory system is called life energy (Pranamaya kosa). When this heat energy is converted into awareness by nervous system the awareness or mind is produced (Manomaya kosa). This awareness which is in the purest state is called as the soul (or Atman). This awareness is propagated in the form of pulses and these pulses as a bundle is called as Jeeva. The bundle of pulses of awareness is called as simply Jeeva from the point of pulses, is called as Atman from the point of awareness and is also called as Jeevatman from the point of both the pulses and awareness.

The constant propagation of pulses is called as mind (manas). The impressions of strong pulses are called as Chittam. The production of strong of pulses by the interaction of several weak pulses is called as intelligence or determination or Buddhi. The strong pulse that keeps the identity of the body is called as Ahamkara or ego. When you say the word Jeeva, it refers only to Manas, Chittam, Buddhi and Ahamkara (Antahkaranams). Therefore the soul and Jeeva together called as Jeevatma is only a special form of energy i.e., generated by the interaction of digestive, respiratory and nervous systems. Thus Jeeva representing the bundle of characteristics and Atman representing the special form of energy or Soul can be only the items of creation and not the creator. You are worried about the generation of Soul but there need not be any worry because Soul is an item of creation. In this creation there is conversion of matter into energy.

There is conversion of one type of matter into another type of matter through a chemical reaction as done by chemists. There is also conversion of one form of energy into another form of energy as done by physicists. There is conversion of matter into energy as done by technologists and engineers. Now if the Soul is generated, what is there to worry? This topic comes under the realm of creation and is within the boundaries of the creation. Gita says that the Soul is Paraprakruti. Prakruti means creation. Para means the finest part of creation. Therefore the transformation of Soul or division of Soul or generation of Soul is only topic of science and is not a topic of spirituality. Spirituality deals with creator who is beyond the creation. Veda says ‘Annat Purushah’, which means that the Soul is produced from the food. It is conversion of matter into Soul, which is energy.

When Ahalya is converted into stone the Soul of Ahalya did not go to any upper world in which case, it would have been death of Ahalya. The Soul of Ahalya existed in that stone. This is conversion of energy into matter, because Soul is energy. Again when the stone is converted into Ahalya the matter is converted into the Soul i.e., energy. Lord Krishna created His friends and the cows in duplicate when they are stolen and hidden by Prajapati in the upper world. The same body and the same Soul is existing in two places. This answers the issue raised by the cloning. A duplicate Soul with the same characteristics can be created even with a similar body. The friends of Krishna created with the same qualities behaved as the original beings.
