do yo belive that you are a re-incarnation?

Answer 1

I recently remembered a month ago my first past life recall. I remembered living in India as a woman from another country. I had studied many religions and spirituality. I ended up chosing Hinduism as my religion to study seriously on my spiritual path.

While living in India, I studied under a woman guru named Parvati. I remembered this temple that had this giant monkey statue on the outside.

I had to leave the ashram for a couple of days, Parvati was asking me some medicine-related questions if I was prepared and had them.

On the way travelling, I got horribly sick with a dreadful disease. It was smallpox. My entire body was mummified. A man carried me to the doctor's. It was not modern at all. Kind of primative. This was during WWI. He poured water on my body that was wrapped up in white cloth, I screamed like bloody h*ll. Blood seeped through the cloth. I was above watching the whole thing.

I did not feel anything, but I felt a lot of compassion for my past self and for the horrible suffering she was going through. I felt it was so unnecessary. They also put me against the wall to circulate my . My eyes were covered up too. Parvati, my guru, came to visit me as she was given word that I was dying.

My last words spoken were "Brahman of all things". I had my mind focused on God when I died which is very important for your next life.

This life, I'm just a white from CA but I ended up feeling at home with Hinduism after studying spiritualy and religions for 17 years. I am picking up where I left off. Amma is now my Satguru in this life. She is helping me finish my journey to God-Realization in this life. I do eventually want to live the rest of my life in India in her ashram. This past life recall helped me understand who I am in this life by explaining how I ended up on this journey and plus that disease helped wipe clean some bad karma as I hardly too much bad karma to work through in this life. It was quite insightful.

re-incarnation is a truth and if a book does not believe in it, truth does not change (after all sun is circling the earth)

Our soul needs millions of lessons and has to undergo many experiences of pain and pleasure, before attaining the universal consciousness

One birth is not sufficient for this. so when we die we take another body (after some time spent in astral planes), and start our new lessons

reincarnation is the answer to the puzzle why some people are rich , some poor, some intelligent, some idiots, some successful, some failures.

Gita says - as we change robes after our clothes are torn or dirty, similarly soul changes body after death

Answer 3

I believe I am at least a partial reincarnation of my mother's mother (I say partial, because I believe that our souls are made up of the energies of many beings that lived before us, people and animals and other elements of nature...we are all connected).

She predicted my birth as she lay dying, though my mother had tried for 5 years to have a child and had been told she could not. She predicted my sex, my hair color, what profession I would go into, and other details...all of which she was right about, as my mother found out when she had me, nearly 3 years later.

Throughout my life, though I have never been told stories of her life without there being a specific cause (like my doing something eerily similar to her), I seem to have followed in her footsteps, and people often remark on the sense of deja vu they experience when I hear an old song or see an old movie for the first time and tell them my opinion of it (I often say, word for word, what she said...even making the same jokes).

I don't want to make the same mistakes she did. I don't smoke, I won't marry someone I fight with every day, I don't want to be overly concerned with my appearance like she was (insecure about the hair color we both share). That's karma...facing the same dillemmas and learning to make different decisions.

Answer 4

If a person kills and soon after dies himself. How can he be punished unless he takes birth again? If a sinner is sent to hell forever then how can God be merciful unless he is given another chance?

Once you had the body of a baby and now an adult. The baby body is gone but you still exist. This is reincarnation, changing bodies.

Just as you change bodies in this life, you will also change bodies after this life. Is this hard to accept?

Reincarnation is the passing of the soul from one body to the next. Life is truly a circle of birth, death and re-birth. We never die; we merely change our physical form. There are 8.4 million different forms of bodies; we have been through them all. Being Human is the highest form of Life on this planet.

So why do we keep coming back to life? We are re-born to exhume our Karma. We build our Karma during our life and we must come back to face the reactions to all our actions.

So you still don't believe in reincarnation?

Well, if you do not believe in reincarnation, then it means that you believe that we are only born once, right? If we are only born once, and then surely everyone should be born equal. By believing in God, we accept that God must be fair, and thus everyone would be born equal if we only have one chance of life. Well, is everyone born equal?

Why are some born healthy and some diseased?
Why are some born more fortunate than others?
Why are some born ugly and some good looking?
Why do some children suffer from birth and die at very young age?
Why are some born poor and some rich?
Now that you accept everyone is not born equal. So how does God decide on the above matters for us? Well, God's decisions are based on knowing our history, our previous lives. God is very fair, God does not make us happy for no reason, and God does not make us suffer for no reason. Based on our Karmic actions, some people are happy because they have good Karma and are now facing good reactions to their good actions taken in their past. Some people suffer because they have bad Karma and are now facing bad reactions to their bad actions taken in their past.

A person is born again and again to reap the fruits of his or her own actions. This cycle of birth and death continues until the person attains moksha or freedom from the cycle of birth and death. Moksha can only be achieved through Krishna consciousness.

Hinduism is the only religion, which preaches the reincarnation and Karma theories. There is scientific evidence to prove the reincarnation and Karma theories.

“Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be. As the embodied soul continuously passes, in the body from childhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change." Lord Krishna (Bg. 2.12-13)

"As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones." Lord Krishna (Bg. 2.22)

"When one dies in the mode of goodness, he attains to the pure higher planets of the great sages. When one dies in the mode of passion, he takes birth among those engaged in fruitive activities; and when one dies in the mode of ignorance, he takes birth in the animal kingdom." Lord Krishna (Bg. 14.14-15)

Answer 5

The doctrine of reincarnation leaves no room for salvation. It says that you have to be reborn over and over until you reach perfection and then you are absorbed back into the Cosmic mind. It really gives no hope or purpose to your present life. Christianity says that you are born once, and then afterward you go to either heaven or hell. Hell is a place of torment for those who do not accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Heaven is a place of reward and further spiritual growth for those who love Jesus. Reincarnation is about achieving a perfection that is not possible. Christianity is about loving Jesus Christ and serving him. Jesus loves you and he wants to fellowship with you. Ask him into your heart.

Answer 6

Yes, I believe I am a soul that has lived in different bodies at different times to learn different lessons.

Answer 7

For all I know, I am re-incarnated in my sleep everyday.

Answer 8

If I did I'd want to come back as a whale......any mammal that has a metre long tongue and can breath through a hole in it's head must be VERY popular

Answer 9

Yes, I might be, not positive on that though. My dad is insistent that he was a wolf in his previous life and my mom swears that she died on a sinking ship (she is deathly afriad of ships/boats where you go out far enough that you can't see land).
