Back to MainReincarnation - does it HAPPEN ?? It is believed that, child prodigies e.g. Mozart who composed simple music at the age of four and the 17th century mathematician, Blaise Pascal, who had outlined a new geometric system by the time he had reached 11 years of age may have been reincarnations of talented people from an earlier time. Annie Besant, 19th century feminist and leader in London’s Theosophical Society, was convinced that she would be reincarnated.
Shanti Devi was born in old Delhi in a middle class family. She grew up faster than the children of her age. When she was just three years old, she started narrating stories about a family living in Mathura. First, her mother just ignored her prattling. But when she repeated it quite often and said that she was the wife of a man named, Kedarnath, her parents got curious. They checked her story and to their amazement they found it all true.
Shanti Devi provided extraordinary details about her past life. She could remember the colour of her house, the location of the house, the people living there and the circumstances in which she died in her last life. There were enough details to provoke her family members to plunge into action.
Shanti devi’s case was one of the thousands which came into limelight. The theory of Karma is the idea behind rebirth. According to the Karma theory one is born again in accordance with one’s deeds in past lives. The Hindus who strongly believe in the theory of Karma propagate that the soul may increase in purity during successive existence until it reaches a Devin world.
So far no one could prove that re-incarnation does not occur, it provide body evidence suggestive of re-incarnation that appear to be accumulating in amount and quality. It makes us feel at times that facts are stranger than fiction.
