Reincarnation rebirth primarily has its roots in philosophy of life detailed in Bhagavad Gita. As per Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita the journey of life primarily belongs to consciousness, spirit existing in our heart as soul atman. To evolve become purer from within, every soul atman manifests body forms one after another. This chain of manifestation continues unabated until a […]
In human form, a soul atman has a maximum of 1.1 million manifestations before it reaches stage of absolute purity. In its lifetime a soul atman manifests (reincarnates) a maximum of 8.4 million bodies. The initial 7.3 million manifestations occurred in insect, plant and animal life. Reaching stage of enlightenment was not that easy. God Almighty ordained a long […]
Our belief in reincarnation stems from the fact that something within our heart fluttered all the time. Those who traveled path of truthfulness all the time could hear the sweet small promptings of our soul atman coming from within our heart. It is this voice of soul atman that makes us believe in Lord Krishna and his teachings of Bhagavad […]
From humanity point of view we called it rebirth because the human body dies. From cosmic point of view souls’ atmans word indestructible, could neither be created or destroyed. They manifest a new body after another. For a soul atman the entire journey of 8.4 million manifestations was one single span of life. Call whatever we may… rebirth or reincarnation, […]
If we believed in existence of God, we also must believe in presence of souls atmans. No soul atman could manifest form after another (cleanse itself of dross impurities within) in absence of reincarnation, rebirth. The precept of reincarnation was an absolute fact of cosmic life. For souls atmans to evolve further… reincarnation, rebirth was an absolute must. As […]
Practically there is no difference between rebirth and reincarnation. As detailed in scriptures of Hinduism… reincarnation, rebirth is the process through which a soul atman manifests body after another. After death of present body, our soul atman again manifests a new body. This cycle of birth and death is termed reincarnation, rebirth. The domain of reincarnation, rebirth lay in world […]
We should relate to reincarnation in present life only if we wanted to travel spiritual path to know God. Reincarnation, the process of a soul atman manifesting form after another related to field of spirituality! If our goal of life was anything other than spiritual, then reincarnation carried no meaning for us. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The […]
As detailed in scriptures of Hinduism, primarily Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads (independent treatises)… after death of human body on mother earth, based on residual balance of karma at the time of death… our soul atman immediately manifests a new body to start new cycle of life. The closing balance of present life becomes opening balance for next manifestation. It […]
Reincarnation is principally defined as a soul atman manifesting another form after death of present body. This principle is understood only if we believed in presence of souls’ atmans. As detailed in Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads, the present journey of life belongs to our soul atman, and never the manifest physical human form. As a manifest physical entity we […]
Hinduism believes in continuity of life. Because of this belief, scriptures of Hinduism say the journey of life truly belongs to our soul atman, and never the manifest physical human form. Before manifesting human form for the first time, a soul atman has already manifested in insect, plant and animal life. In 1.1 million manifestations in human form a […]
The choice of choosing next life never lay in our domain. All was dependent on inscrutable laws of karma. As the residual balance of karma at the time of death of body, accordingly soul atman manifests a new body. If the residual balance of karma demands one taking birth in the house of a laborer, one just could not be […]
As detailed in Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads… life keeps evolving! Every soul atman passes through a maze of 8.4 million manifestations to reach stage of absolute purity. Of the 8.4 million manifestations by a soul atman… the initial 7.3 million manifestations occurred in insect, plant and animal life and in the remaining 1.1 million manifestations one was expected to reach […]
The structure of a soul atman is incomprehensible. Human beings can never conceive identity of a soul atman now or in future ever. As detailed in scriptures of Hinduism the human form was only a vehicle in the cosmic journey of a soul atman. The human form was manifested by our soul atman to work out its karma, remove […]
When a student in class one promotes to class two, what does it carry forward? Similar was the case with a soul atman! A soul does not enter a human body. The entire lifespan of 8.4 million manifestations in the life of a soul atman was one single journey of life… totally unbroken, uninterrupted! After death of present body our […]
The concept of afterlife, eternal life relates to path of spirituality never religion (path of rituals)! Religion primarily was a means to keep flock of like-minded individuals bonded together. To reach god in present life, to realize God… our undertaking spiritual journey was mandated. From childhood I followed precepts of Hinduism that not only believes in afterlife (Reincarnation, rebirth) […]
The soul atman of normal human beings does not manifest form of an animal in next life. It was people indulging in atrocities untold like Hitler who could not manifest human form in next life. The soul atman of people like Hitler would pass through many manifestations in animal form before crossing the threshold of human life again. By: […]
After mortal death, our soul atman immediately manifests a new body based on residual balance of karma at the time of death. Only if matching parents are not available, the soul atman hibernates in heaven or hell… in heaven if the residual balance of karma was positive and hell, if negative! No sooner matching parents become available; the hibernating soul […]
We can never know at what level of karmic index we stood in spiritual journey of life! We could be situated anywhere between 7,300,001 and 8,400,000. Hinduism scriptures like Upanishads (independent treatises) detailed everything explicitly that we were primarily a spirit, soul atman on its cosmic life cycle of 8.4 million manifestations. In absence of reincarnation, rebirth life just could […]
For a soul atman to reach stage of absolute purity, god mandated a journey in human form! A single journey in human form did not suffice… we were given a total of 1.1 million manifestations to reach stage of enlightenment and finally moksha salvation. Our soul atman keeps reincarnating new bodies again and again until it reaches 8.4 millionth manifestation, […]
Souls’ atmans were indestructible. The entire timeline of 8.4 million manifestations in the life of a soul atman was one single span of life similar as a student remaining the same, keeps jumping from one class to another. To cleanse self of dross impurities within, the soul atman keeps manifesting form after another. This process of changing form after another […]
If we look back in life we find many people in present life suffering for sins not committed in present life. This results from negative residual balance of karma from previous manifestations. There was no other theory that explains this phenomenon. To understand principle of reincarnation our belief in world of souls’ atmans was necessitated. As detailed in Bhagavad […]
We must try to understand the basic precept of spirituality. It was our soul atman that manifesting human form. The physical entity of present life does not carry to next manifestation. Body after body, manifestation after manifestation a soul atman keeps changing forms. One who is our son in present life could be our granddaughter in future manifestations. We as […]
Videha Mukti simply means freeing self from attachment of body. Traveling path of spirituality when we realized self, realized god… we become a Videha Mukta forever. When a soul atman gains absolute purity, devoid of dross impurities within it did not manifest a human body again. The stoppage of reincarnation, rebirth process was termed Videha Mukti. The word Mukti stood […]
The present human form was limited to present life on mother earth. As journey of life belonged to our soul atman, consciousness existing in our heart… after death of body our soul atman would manifest a new body based on residual balance of karma at the time of death. Even though the previous and the present manifestations were integrally connected […]
The doctrine of reincarnation and karma is ingrained into every Hindu living in India. From the very beginning Hindus are taught rather told by elders in the family and also outside that we were primarily a soul atman and would keep manifesting form after another based on karma. This resulted in Hindus neglecting the present. Most Hindus cared for after […]
