Today I am saddened by the demise of my grandmother. She was an encyclopaedia of our culture. I have seen time changing so fast that we are almost losing our culture and adapting to the changes. Her talks and stories gave me views of her time and the then practices. She served me a lot as a little boy and had great wisdom.
Reincarnation- Means "To enter into flesh again"
We all grow from a single cell. We all have experienced our past bodies. We all have changed bodies in this life. We all had a child body. We have a youthful body and then we grow to have an old body. We don't have that body which we can recall but we can remember it.
Is it possible that when someone dies, he still changes his body. Vedic scriptures say that there is a soul in the mastery body. Because this body is made up of matter, and we have experience that matter does not move, does not grow, does not produce by products, does not produce offsprings, does not feel, does not will and does not execute.
Some scientists believe that this complex chemical arrangement is capable of doing all the above mentioned things and this is called life.
Many famous thinkers and writers believed in Reincarnation, like Socrates and Shakespeare.
Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.
I died as a plant and rose to animal,
I died as an animal and I was Man.
Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
-Rumi
Have you ever met someone for the first time, but in your heart you feel as if you’ve met them before?
-JoAnne Kenrick
For the first forty days a child
is given dreams of previous lives. Journeys, winding paths,
a hundred small lessons
and then the past is erased.
-Michael Ondaatje
A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me.
-Kahlil Gibran
Above are few quotes to mention. Recent trends in neuroscience and psychology, study of mind and conciouness are compelled to derive non material conclusions (As heard from lectures of Dr Joe Disponza where he concludes that to surpass matter, we must access the universe which is full of various frequencies including no material and spiritual, he also talks about surpassing our identity.)
Past Life Memories
Dr Ian Stevenson, a Canadian psychiatrist documents many cases where children recalled there past lives and the information provided by them was verified. The story of James the pilot was quite in the news way that time. Other stories have also been documented.
Quotes from scriptures
Bible-
- Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
- Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”
- For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.

Vedic Texts-
- Rig Veda 10.4.57.4
“May your spirit return again, to perform pure acts for exercising strength, and to live long to see the sun.” - "As the embodied soul continuously passed in this body from boyhood to youth to old-age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death"(BG 2.13)
- As a person puts on new garments giving up old ones, soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones"(BG 2.22)
Now SUPPOSE reincarnation is true, what could be the next important questions?
I could think of following-
- What is my next life
- What was my previous life
- If my next life is not good, can I change it now
- What descides where and what will I become in my next life.
I understand that the post might be scattered but I hope it puts you to contemplation.
I would like you to comment your thoughts about the topic.
Thank you.
Pray for my Grandmother
