PUNARJANMA (REINCARNATION): A BIRD EYE VIEW

Punarjanma (Reincarnation ) is an interesting topic which evokes the curiousity of the researchers to explore the hidden truth behind this concept. The Karya Karana Siddhantha (cause - effect theory ) has its limitation in certain diseases in which karana (cause ) is not possible to elicit. There comes the role of the invisible factor termed Daiva ( fate/ predetermined) which is an outcome of one’s past life deeds. The concept of Jatismar a (claimed memories of previous life) clearly substantiate s the truth behind Punarjanma and thus it opened a new d oorstep in Reincarnation researches. A better understanding of the concept of Punarjanma in relation to Daiva Siddhantha in turn holds the pot ential of Daivavyapashraya C hikitsa (spiritual therapy/divine therapy) in those diseases in which K arana is Adrushta (invisible).
