7 Amazing Facts About Rebirth In Hinduism
Reincarnation or rebirth has always been a fascinating concept. Like Hinduism, there are many other popular cultures which talk about a person being born again and again on this Earth. For example, Buddhism also believes in rebirth. Ancient Egyptians were staunch believers of life after death and rebirth. That is why they erected monuments and created mummies to preserve their dead.
According to the Hindu philosophy, 'punarjanma' or rebirth literally means re-entering the flesh again. The most popular example from the Hindu mythology of rebirth is the incarnations of Lord Vishnu. He assumes the human form again and again to save the Earth from evil. Similarly, we also hear of reincarnation stories about various other deities.
But how exactly does this concept of reincarnation or rebirth work? Here are some interesting and amazing facts about rebirth which you may not know. Let us take a look.
SCIENTIFIC REASONS BEHIND HINDU PRACTICES
The
Concept
Of
Soul
According
to
the
Hindu
philosophy,
the
'aatma' or
soul
cannot
be
destroyed.
Even
if
the
body
dies,
the
soul
of
a
person
lives
on.
The
soul
changes
body
in
the
same
manner
as
we
change
into
new
clothes.
The
new
body
depends
on
our
Karma
or
the
things,
good
or
bad,
that
we
may
have
done
in
our
previous
life.
If
one
has
accumulated
good
Karma,
then
he/she
is
born
as
a
human
again.
On
the
other
hand,
if
one
had
bad
Karma,
then
he/she
is
born
according
to
the
nature
of
the
Karma.
Amazing
Facts
You
Probably
Didn't
Know
1)
Most
of
the
times
a
human
being
is
born
as
a
human
being
only.
But
sometimes,
he/she
may
be
born
as
an
animal,
depending
on
the
Karma.
2) If a person dies suddenly with a lot of unfulfilled wishes, then he/she becomes a ghost. That soul will then be stuck between the material and the spiritual world, waiting for its release and favourable conditions to be reborn again.
3) Hindus believe that it is only their physical form which is mortal and can be destroyed. Perhaps that is why Hindus, as a part of the death rites, hit the head of the corpse in order to make him forget life went by to prevent the soul from being haunted with memories in the next birth. They believe the soul ascends to heights inaccessible to humans and it returns to live in a new body.
4) It should be interesting to note that every human gets seven chances to be reborn in the physical form of a man or woman and thereby gets the chance to commit good or evil and decide on its fate later.
5) Another important fact that you should know is that a soul does not acquire the next birth immediately after the death of its previous body. Only after years, when the conditions are suitable, a soul can acquire a new body and be born again.
6) According to some sages, everything, since the time of the big-bang, is stored in our memory. But only a few people have the ability to recall it. This means the memories of our previous births are also recorded in our unconscious mind which we may never recall.
7) Hindus believe that in the centre of their forehead is the third eye which opens when one unites the soul with god or becomes one with Brahma. They believe the soul remains trapped in samsara (material world) till the human being comes to a point of opening the third eye.
