BANGALORE: CASE 1: A vague memory hit a pair of twins in Agra, Surender and

Narendar, while travelling on a bike. The older one was the first to spell it

out. They had died in a road accident in their previous birth. They went back

and told their parents but were silenced. The duo were desperate to meet

parents and relatives of their previous birth. They spoke about it to their

milkman, who hailed from the

village where they lived in their previous birth. They milkman takes their

message to the village teacher. The teacher visited them and at once she was

convinced and arranged for the two families to meet.CASE 2: A man was shot dead

in a police cross fire. Fifteen months later, a child is born with marks on his

chest. When he began to speak, he said he was shot dead in the previous

birth.The cases were verified and the documents like the death certificate,

FIRs from various government agencies stand testimony to their cases, claimed

Satwant K Pasricha, Head of Clinical Psychology, National Institute of Mental

Health and Neurological Sciences (NIMHANS).She was presenting scientific

evidences of reincarnation from an ongoing study NIMHANS had been doing for the

last two decades along with the University

interviewed and documented at least 2,500 children, who were referred to them

``with memories of previous births.''The research team, she claims, has

substantial evidences in at least 67 percent of the samples. Most children, she

said, forget about the past by age of 10 and become normal adults. The average

time between death and birth was 15 months. At least 51 percent of the reported

cases either died of accidents or were murdered.But the public lecture had more

questions than answers. Pasricha is yet to find out why only some children

remember their previous birth? Is it always from one human being to another or

is also from animals? Why do the children forget

the incidents by the time they are ten? How are the dead ones reborn? Do they

travel through light? Are they waves? ”We are in the advanced stages of

confirming reincarnation. We don't know answers to any of these questions. All

we can say now is reincarnation looks possible,'' said Pasricha, while

answering to querries from the audience.The research, she said, was not to

dispute to genetic theory but only to suppliement them. “It will take a long

time for us establish this as we need data and evidences from several other

children. But we are hopeful we would,'' she said signing off.
