People in this western era, hardly believe in the concept of rebirth. However, i believe after listening to this lecture by Swamiji, they will surely start believing..
When we say the end of existence: the death, it is not the end of the soul, it means the soul changes it's cloth: the body. There are enormous examples Swamiji explained which clearly tells the concept of rebirth. So nice.
Very nice clip on the concept of rebirth. Believing in rebirth forces us to live our lives with awareness, because our deeds do follow and become part of our destiny in our next life. Hence, it is important to live a meaningful and pure life, knowing death to be a mere shedding of a garment.
Swami Mukunanda, I am an ethnic, adult student with many issues and disadvantages to say the very least but in spite of enduring hell I always continue to abundantly thank the Lord, consider myself fortunate and am always trying above and beyond in everything I do. One of many thousands of questions I have is this - 'After years of being mistreated as though I am less than an animal or something of that level, by far too many people in far too many places, even to this very week; how can I guarantee receiving total and genuine respect from everyone from this day on?' Thanks in advance Swamiji :)
Just amazing! With so many examples Swamiji has proved the concept of rebirth.This clarifies the philosophy of destiny that how our every action is carried over into the next life and we have to bear the concequencies of our every action.It alerts us to be thoughtful about our actions and also motivates us to lead a conscious and meaningful life devoted to God which will lead us to God realisation oneday. Radhey Radhey, Swamiji!
As Swamiji explained in this lecture with both scriptures and scientific point of view that our actions stay with us and they don't ceases when we die. So believing in the concept of rebirth is a game changer in ones life.
Very convincing lecture by Swamiji. Nobody takes the time to understand the science of instincts, not just in humans but in other species as well. It points to the concept of rebirth.
It is a blessing that we die and get a new body and setting to learn and grow further - if we had to learn it all in one long life and body - it would feel so boring and tedious for God too to create various learning environments for us in one setting. God can implement Object oriented approach too this way - One environment for a specific learning can be re-used. Same way they do in schools - we leave(die) from one grade - get reborn into the new grade - to progress further.
This is the best explanation of concept of rebirth and the best proof of rebirth, which I have heard. Swamiji gives many quotations from Hindu scriptures explaining the proof of rebirth. I really liked this video, makes a lot of sense to me.
The body we have today is not the body we had when we were born. Similarly, we as the souls, change bodies to live out our karmas. There are several instances of young children remembering who they were in a past life. One such famous case is that of Shanti Devi.
Swamiji's another video " who am I" and this video are kind of related because once we know who we are, we will understand that we are not body but a soul with consciousness. And soul is eternal.
Very clear explanation of a concept that puzzles many. Reincarnation and the law of karma only could explain where we are today in our lives. Swamiji's clarity in explanation supported by logic is very convincing and gives us a lot of hope.
Such a remarkable lecture by swamiji. Our body is constantly changing from childhood to oldage like soul changing it 's cloth. This is agradual process of evolution of soul towards perfection of God -realisation.
My dear swamiji Your teaching is eye opening you explain so well , swamiji from the young age I believe and worshiped god its my desire to see god and never come back in this world, everything that I see around me and my self there is the creator the magnificent . There is so much love in me everything reminds me of god I am pleased with the creator every morning I open my eyes I say thank you god for giving me another moment to love you, I went every worshiped place read many books, now I see things I can not explain I also see dead people spirits coming out of their body and disappear in to the universe,swamiji I have watched all your videos and gained more knowledge god have sent you to us You are blessed, thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge. 🌹
Very nicely explained how to believe the concept of rebirth with innumerable examples. The soul is passing to new body in every life time and also changes different bodies in same life from childhood to old age itself. With this concept we can understand how our good/bad actions can come with us to next life and we have to face the consequences. With this, we can try to make use of our life doing good and pure actions
Very nice explanation by Swamiji. Western world questions the idea of rebirth and doesn't believe in karma. Swamiji reveals that without accepting the concept of past life, all creation become illogical. The purpose behind all creation is the gradual evolution of the soul towards the ultimate perfection of God-Realization.Thank you ,Swamiji.
How do we explain, why some is blind by birth? The god can not be the reason, as he is so compassionate in nature. Only the actions of the past lives can make sense in this situation. The concept of rebirth is so logically explained by Swamiji.
Babita Ram. We come to this world with karma, our actions, from previous life. We suffer or enjoy our own actions. God has given us instructions to how to live life without sin but He will not directly get involved when we sin. He leaves us to our free joice.We should not forget we are in Kali yuga where there will always be suffering.
Such an interesting explanation by Swamiji. He explains with interesting facts the proof of rebirth. We forget but it's true that we go through the cycle of birth and death many times.
today i see kids on social media discussing atheism. sad!!but true. they think knowing science, they dont need to believe in theories like rebirth etc. i think they are missing away proper knowledge like this. so awsomely explained with proofs !! 👌
It's just nice to hear.him recite the scriptures in the native tongue. Sounds fantastic, even though I don't understand a word of what he is saying. Lol.
I like the proofs that Swamiji presented to support the concept of rebirth. There are many instances of people remembering their past life and they have been verified as such. Good lecture.
I completely agree that illogical & unenlightened world can not be explained away without rebirth...but I do not agree with this law wherein one is allowed to all kind of horrible things and still the majority(if not all) punishment comes in next life and same with doing good deeds wherein all rewards come in next life where soul almost 100% of times have forgotten their good/bad deeds...this rebirth law enforces injustice for this short one lifespan continuing the miseries of this world...if there is universe where there is instant justice to good/bad deeds, that world can not be lead astray by miseries and evil...Swamiji I would like to know you insight into this, if u can take few moment for this insignificant devotee of urs ! Thanks!
I don't believe in any after life.. nor "eternal consequence". I simply am kind to others because I know the pain of sadness and I don't wish to give that to anyone...
@@woke7987 look it is upto what u think of it because anything can't be said with certainty. I believe that your karma returns to you in this life itself. This isnt a mere believe I have seen people recieving the results of their past actions in this life itself. After this life you will start all over again.
Beautiful lecture on rebirth Swamiji. Life is continuation of journey, what ever karma we do, have to come back to get the results of those karmas. Also very strong desire makes person to come back to fulfill it. God realized master his past and future karmas gets done. He has to finish present karmas and then he does not come in this world.
Because man has never given birth let me explain about the body it is implanted in the body like a trained machine on how to have a birthing--- but much is numbed to the woman when they have the shot of pain killer to block out the pain and the Dr. has to shout to the mother Push Push because the mother is numb to the body signals. But to those who have natural birth know that everything in the body runs like clockwork and I have felt that. I groaned and pushed automatically and it was the body doing the work it was DIVINE FANTASTIC AND i KNEW THEN THAT GOD HAD INSTILLED IN EVERY WOMANS BODY THE TIMED WAY --- THE BODY WILL BE WHILE GIVING BIRTH. it was a great discovery
Swamiji, You are saying human soul/Jiva moves from human body to another human body. Does it have to be? The Jiva could enter another life form, and that could explain the abundance of life forms on earth, unlike other beliefs where their soul goes to ‘heaven’.
Please can you tell me how to explain Hinduism and a Hindu's belief as one God to my good Muslim friend. She kept asking me questions like 'Why do you pray to so many Gods?', 'What about if you come back as a rabbit?,' Who is the God you actually believe in? ' and more! Swamiji please make my life easier by answering this one of many questions I have. I am a true follower of your wisdom. Thank you.
Hinduism doesn't talks about worshiping many gods , they were created by humans to aid their life , Hinduism is about spirituality the gods you see in ramanyana etc are made by people to fulfill their life , but Hinduism does talks about power of universe who created us
Guruji,you have not told any thing about a human soul taking a plant or animal body or vice versa after rebirth.is there any rule that human souls take up human body only.
I would strongly suggest that we read the scriptures ourselves first! Then whatever Swamiji reveals would make sense! Listeners who are keen on shooting questions after forming prejudiced opinions should not be encouraged!
The body in one lifetime is Same ...they just change the shape and size of the same body..they aren't different bodies...so I guess this example is not exactly apt to prove souls transmigrating to different bodies ..life after life
As Swamiji explained, in Hinduism, it is believed that a soul does not die at death. The soul takes rebirth and becomes associated with a new body. The soul can take birth in the body of human or a nonhuman animal. Whatever one thinks of during the time of death will determine the body the soul will attain in the next life. This is explained clearly by Swami Mukundananda in his commentary of The Bhagavad Gita - The Song of God, Chapter 8, Verse 6. Swamiji translates this verse as: BG 8.6: Whatever one remembers upon giving up the body at the time of death, O son of Kunti, one attains that state, being always absorbed in such contemplation. In his commentary, Swamiji explains that this verse means “whatever prominently dominates one’s thoughts at the moment of death will determine one’s next birth. “ However, one will not attain God by merely remembering Him only during time of death. Besides, it is impossible to think of God unless we have we have contemplated Him continuously throughout our life. To emphasize this point, in his commentary, Swamiji refers to the story of Maharaj Bharat in the Puranas which relate to how one’s final thoughts are determined by what was constantly contemplated upon during the life through habits, influences and associations. Bharat was a king, but he renounced his kingdom and went to live in the forest to pursue God realization. One day, he rescued a baby deer from water. Since its mother had died, Bharat felt pity so took the baby deer to his hut and started taking care of it. Soon he developed intense attachment to the fawn. He began to spend more and more of his time feeding, tending and loving the young deer. As time passed, his mind detached from God and became absorbed in the deer. The attachment to the deer grew so strong that he could not think of anyone or anything other than the deer. When Bharat was at his death bed, his mind was fixed on the baby deer thinking what would happen to it after his death. Since Bharat’s last thought was of a deer, in his next life, Bharat was born as a deer. Due to the spiritual sādhanā in the previous life, Bharat was aware of the mistake he had made of attaching his mind to the fawn. Therefore, even as a deer Bharat was drawn to graze near the āśhrams of saintly persons in the forest. Finally, when he gave up the deer body, he was again given a human birth. This time, he became the great sage Jadabharat, and attained God-realization by completing his sādhanā. The story of Bharat in the Puranas tells us that the soul can go from human body to an animal body or an animal body to a human body based on what our mind contemplates throughout our life.
Why guru or speaker emphasize on believing, rather than emphasizing on knowing. Once you know, there is nothing to believe. The quest should be about knowing and ways to know, not resting on believing.
Even in maths we start calculation with Suppose a=b and then at the end we write so it is proved that a=b. Similarly in this equation first you have to believe and then surely one day you'll reach the point where you can say yes a=b. Did you question your maths teacher that why we are supposed to take a=b which is yet not proved? Then why not have such faith in your spiritual master?
@@chandreyeesinha4940 if you come across another master who gives you another belief and says suppose c=d and at the end proves how c=d will that be a truth. On top if the two beliefs are contradictory then which will be right. Belief that first guru mentioned or the belief that second guru mentioned and so on...so just putting out some statement and asking for a firm belief first can't be a correct way, will it be? Do you have to believe that earth goes around the sun or it is a fact. A fact has no requirement for belief, hence it stands to any test of time and thoughts where as to prove a belief people performs all sorts of mental gymnastics.
@@NavneetKumar-uj3xi The thing u are seeking is known to very few beings and the one's who know the truths are not even intrested in this materialistic world and people who are inhabiting it. Less than one or two people actually reveal these truths but because of fake people those truths are rejected like other fake information immediately. The thing is simple what u are seeking is not up in the skies because if it were we would have found it by now. The thing u are seeking is within u, I won't say its true and beleive it I would rather say try it for yourself. Meditate on something, something that u are seeking meditate on those question do it with consistency and who knows u might even find your answers. Don't forget to tell me after wards😉
Navneet...spot on ...bravo..this was the exact point on my mind too ...I saw a few videos of his ..on this rebirth and karmas...he talks about beliefs and not about the truth / facts.... beliefs can differ from person to person...but the truth is truth ..its the same for all whoever believes it or not ...
It depends upon your karma in this life, if you are devoted to bhagwan/god , you will surely free from birth and death. A man can also be born as animal if he did bad karma.
Most likely as a human being ..however the quality of life depends on the karmas , why most likely it'll be a human life ? is cuz.of the evolution of conciousness ...
Reincarnation of the Souls Jesus said some souls will rest some will go to the Father and some to other places and others will be going right back out>>>>>into the birth re-birth cycle.. They have Karma to full fill.
Just like we shed our old worn out clothes and wear new ones, similarly on dying, the soul sheds its old worn out body and wears a new one!
People in this western era, hardly believe in the concept of rebirth. However, i believe after listening to this lecture by Swamiji, they will surely start believing..
After listening to this lecture, i strongly believe in rebirth. It is explained so logically and with real life examples.

Believe is a very important thing in spiritual practices. Sometimes we have to start with believe when the things are beyond our intellectual.

Swamiji can you tell me is there any possibility if human die in next birth he will became animal or animal can become human?
As Swamiji explained, in Hinduism, it is believed that a soul does not die at death. The soul takes rebirth and becomes associated with a new body. The soul can take birth in the body of human or a nonhuman animal. Whatever one thinks of during the time of death will determine the body the soul will attain in the next life.

Besides, it is impossible to think of God unless we have we have contemplated Him continuously throughout our life.
To emphasize this point, in his commentary, Swamiji refers to the story of Maharaj Bharat in the Puranas which relate to how one’s final thoughts are determined by what was constantly contemplated upon during the life through habits, influences and associations.

Less than one or two people actually reveal these truths but because of fake people those truths are rejected like other fake information immediately. The thing is simple what u are seeking is not up in the skies because if it were we would have found it by now. The thing u are seeking is within u, I won't say its true and beleive it I would rather say try it for yourself. Meditate on something, something that u are seeking meditate on those question do it with consistency and who knows u might even find your answers. Don't forget to tell me after wards😉
Navneet...spot on ...bravo..this was the exact point on my mind too ...I saw a few videos of his ..on this rebirth and karmas...he talks about beliefs and not about the truth / facts.... beliefs can differ from person to person...but the truth is truth ..its the same for all whoever believes it or not ...
@@NavneetKumar-uj3xi fantastic...perfect ...bang on

If we have another life we will born again as human
It depends upon your karma in this life, if you are devoted to bhagwan/god , you will surely free from birth and death. A man can also be born as animal if he did bad karma.
No guarantee
Most likely as a human being ..however the quality of life depends on the karmas , why most likely it'll be a human life ? is cuz.of the evolution of conciousness ...

Hello.
What about the population growth? Where are these new souls coming from? Thanks swami ji.
Reincarnation of the Souls Jesus said some souls will rest some will go to the Father and some to other places and others will be going right back out>>>>>into the birth re-birth cycle.. They have Karma to full fill.
