> >Dear Prabhu's, > > I had an amazing discussion with a devotee yesterday. >He

told me how, he had been approached in the last few months by an >Indian girl

who explained that she was a bramacari that we both knew >in the 70's. > >It is

a fascinating tale. The bramacari was 17 years old, had been >recently initiated

by Prabhupada and was killed on his way out on >book distribution in 1974. It

appears that he subsequently took >birth in a female Hindu body and is now an

initiated Iskcon devotee >of 27. Although she is married with 2 children she

feels internally >like a bramacari and is keen to meet devotees she used to

know and >talk about those days etc. > >It may not be appropriate for me to

give too much away as I would >need to seek the permission of the devotees

involved first, but the >story is quite astonishing. It is a real life example,

of Krsna >Conscious philosophy and unravels with the intricacy of a tale from

>the Mahabarata. > >The reason it meant a great deal to us is that my wife and

I have >had a similar experience within our own family. Twenty years ago >when

our eldest son was 4 he told us that he remembered leaving his >body and gave

us detailed information of who he had been in his >previous life. > >Our son

was born in 1977 but was known to us before his death in >1976 and had selected

us as his parents because I was always >encouraging him in spiritual life. As

his father that role is still >on-going. > >Hearing of this other case it is

obvious to me that Krsna is >teaching us personally through these lessons and

if it has happened >to myself and someone I know, similar things have probably

occured >in the lives of other devotees around the world. > >I'm keen to do a

study of this and would encourage any devotees who >have had similar

experiences or heard of other examples, to please >let me know. It doesn't have

to be a rebirth tale, but if you have >anything to contribute to such a study,

in terms of some >extraordinary event, I'd be interested in hearing from you,
