Wow, what an amazing video! Abstract concepts that are now being researched by modern scientists exist in the Vedic scriptures. Swamiji so beautifully explains the concept of rebirth and how our past karmas determine consequences in the future. This message is very important to remember when we experience misery and blame others for it. Thank you, Swamiji. Cannot thank you enough.

Such a powerful thing that someone may not realise it but it exists. The beautiful examples given by Swami ji is just enough to prove the concept of rebirth. The concept of rebirth is not only prove by science today but also proved by the early history of India in the holy book "Mahabharat". The case of Dhritarashtra explains that whatever karma we do we have to bear the consequences of it in our future life. Thank you Swami ji for again giving this valuable wisdom. Again a beautiful gift given by Swami ji is the " The Spiritual Secrets from Hinduism" which helps us in every accepts of life to uplift our selves in every moment.🙏

@sandhyadas6323 3 месяца назад

Beautiful explanation on rebirth by Swamiji. The soul is eternal and a tiny part of God. It does not die . So there is rebirth. Our karma influences our rebirth.According to our karma we take birth.The cycles of repeated births and deaths are endless. When we do good karma, we are born in a good family, do good karmas again and try to go little bit closure to God. If we do bad karma again return to lower species.

@JKYogAdmin 3 месяца назад

You have summarized it so well. So grateful to Swamiji for guiding us towards leading a purposeful life, as every action we take has consequences on our future destiny.

@premalathanammi6182 3 месяца назад

The theory of rebirth citing the story of Ann Frank and the Principle of Karma with the life of Dhritarashtra and Abhimanyu are so interesting and at the same time gives us an insight into these topics which are so controversial. Hearing from a guru clears all the doubts.

@texasryann 3 месяца назад

We must listen to these teachings again and again until it really sinks in. This is called Chintan. Like the cow chews, and rechews it's food, we must contemplate upon divine Tattvagyan of God and Guru that comes directly from the Vedas again and again and again. Let us resolve to dedicate our life to this pursuit and never ever ever give up! We can place our faith and trust in the divine grace of Hari Guru but then we need to grace ourselves and walk on this path. Radhey Radhey 🙏💐

@JKYogAdmin 3 месяца назад

Thanks for pointing out that we too have to grace ourselves because of the free will that has been granted to us. Swamiji has frequently reiterated that if God and Guru were able to do it, then all souls would have attained God realization without any effort.

In this fascinating video Swamiji narrates interesting reincarnation stories of famous people such as Anne Frank and others from the Hindu epics such as Dhritarashtra. Swamiji in detail explains what soul is and how it spreads consciousness to the whole body from his new book "Spiritual Secrets from Hinduism". I have purchased and started reading this new book, it is very interesting and unveils the ancient wisdom of Hinduism. The mobile Radha Krishna Bhakti app is awesome and FREE to download.

' karma yog ' implies that one life span is not the end in itself . We are responsible for the karmic reactions , have to comeback again to reap the rewards or repercussions resulting from the deeds we had been doing in the numerous past lives . The soul trans - migrates from one body to another as we deserve .

@mahuanandy9346 3 месяца назад

Yes, we are in an endless journey...if we have any desire in our mind..Lord Sri Krishna is aware of it residing in the deep of our heart...and He is ready to fulfil our each & every desire like 'Banchakolpotaro'. Our desires determine how will be our next life. May be we are not astrologer...but we can also predict our next life on the basis our present desires.May Lord Sri Krishna take pity on all of us to lead all our desires towards his lotus feet..❤❤

@vidyavenupawar6364 3 месяца назад

Anne Frank story was most surprising, These case studies fully made me to understand the truth that, this soul transmigrates from body to body after death. It is all in the process of spiritual elevation. Krishna used Abhimanyu's death to make Pandavas to reveal their true potential. Swans story of Dhritarashtra, made me think. If one could to face karma by killing birds, then what about these meat eaters? God is noting actions, only He knows what karma is going to serve them

@Anjitha95 3 месяца назад

@VivekanandaBharatiPrasadRayapr 3 месяца назад

Certainly there are past lives. Swamiji says two examples of persons taken rebirth one is Anne Frank and another Santi Devi in India who had the memory of past life. Even it was proved scientifically. Swamiji one more example taken from Mahabharat Abhimayu was the son of Lord Chandra. Due to over attachment to his son Varchasva Lord Chandra told he could not leave his son more than 16nyrs. So at the age of 16 Abhimanyu died in the war of Mahabharat. Pranams to Swamiji

@manjushreerath 3 месяца назад

Reincarnation in Hinduism, also known as the transmigration of souls, refers to the belief that the soul, the real self, lives on after death and takes on a new body. Thus, a single soul will live a succession of existences in different forms, but it is eternal. Sri Krishna says to Arjun at the very start of Bhagavad Gita, - वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय नवानि गृह्णाति नरोऽपराणि | तथा शरीराणि विहाय जीर्णा न्यन्यानि संयाति नवानि देही || (BG 2.22) - As a person sheds worn-out garments and wears new ones, likewise, at the time of death, the soul casts off its worn-out body and enters a new one. These physical forms could be human, but may also be animal, bird, plant, and other forms of life. The embodied existence a soul takes on is determined in large part by karma, which is the belief that actions in previous lives determine a soul’s future existence. Although the outer form or the body changes, the real self remains the same.
