REBIRTH - A MYTH OR REALITY

(Continued from yesterday)

Dr Maurice in his book narrated a near death experience of a youth who had met with a road accident and brought to his hospital. After examination the doctor had declared him dead. The youth remained 'dead' for a few hours and during this time, on information, few of his relatives came to collect his 'body'. After seeing the 'body' they went out to arrange an ambulance to take away the body. In the meantime the hospital staff found some movement of the body of the youth lying still on the table. Immediately the youth was shifted to the emergency room and later became normal. When he became normal he told about the relatives including the colour of their dresses who had visited him when in coma.

According to studies conducted by Dr Satwant Pasricha in Northern India 1 in every 450 people experienced the past life memory; of the 19 cases found, past incarnation was identified in 16 cases. As per a report published by Madhusree Chatterjee of Hindustan Times earlier,  Mahatma Gandhi has been reincarnated as Van Jones, the celebrated American civil rights and environmental activist who was named Time magazine's 'enviornmental hero' in the US in 2008. His manners and body language are also similar to that of Gandhi. Semkiw, the San Francisco bases author, reincarnation specialist and medical practitioner, in his book Born Again in 2006 shed light on the past lives of Indian celebrities like Amitab Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and former president APJ Abdul Kalam. "I pursue past lives as a scientist based on objective evidence like common personality traits between reincarnations, memories, similarities in facial features, events, patterns in life and writing styles that most people carry over life times. They rarely change down the births." Semkiw said. Most of Semkiw's findings are based on independent research involving extensive library work and interviews with celebrities whose pasts Semkiw likes to probe. Semkiw says he also has sessions with a famous spirit medium Kevin Ryerson who guides him to a master spirit called Athun Re, an Egyptian high priest, who, according to the doctor, has not been 'reincarnated for the past 3,000 years'. The writer, who claims to be the reincarnation of American President John Adams, started researching past life as a 'spirit told him when he was studying medicine that he had a past life'.
