Myth of Reincarnation

Reincarnation is the belief that after death,the ‘spirit’ or some inextinguishable part of

each human, survives, and, at some later timeis reborn again into either a human, or an

animal body. Most believers in reincarnationbelieve that there is a never-ending cycle of

rebirths, which can only be ended by gaining‘final release’ from the cycle

Reincarnation is believed to occur when the soul or spirit, after the death of the body, comes back to Earth in a newborn body. This phenomenon is also known as transmigration of the soul. The term is confined to the majority of Indian religious traditions, such as Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism; the Buddhist concept of rebirth is also often referred to as reincarnation.

The origins of the notion of reincarnation are obscure. Majority of people on earth believe in birth after death .

In almost every society the spiritual writings are about the art of living which prepares human beings for death. As it is believed that one soul goes through eighty four lakh lives in different human bodies. The soul leaves the domain of one body and takes the form of another and continues the journey of the nature set by God. The basic instinct of the soul remains the same, the only change takes place is the human body. The soul can also contain the impressions of the journey or life of the previous human body life; but not for a longer time. People use the medium of hypnotism to reveal information about their previous soul. Also, the body form of the soul in next life is somehow connected to the previous human body, may it be friends, family or soul mates or any close person the soul was in the previous life. In addition to this, the body carried by the soul in this life is influenced by its previous life to a larger extent. In Hindu mythology Lord Ram is considered as reincarnated form of Lord Vishnu .As no one has seen the life after death so it is believed that the person after death goes to heaven or hell depending upon the deeds done by him in the previous life, through the process of Purgatory. The deeds are described in form of karma. For every karma he is answerable to God..

Each one of us is born with a unique genetic makeup, which provides a basic template for our general behavior. This behavior is further modified by the surroundings that one encounters in life. I therefore believe that each one of us has the power to change our destiny and our memories by our actions in this life.

On the other hand,being in a scientific world people have stopped believing in these types of myths. They are being practical in their doings as well as thoughts. They do not believe in destiny given by God rather than modifying their own destiny. Somewhere I also feel the same. Our lives do get affected by our previous life but its not influenced by it.
