Past life and Rebirth help us

Websites telling about your past life and also what you would be in your future lives interest us. No matter how much we call it silly, we get hooked on to it with curiosity. Yesterday, a local TV channel had a one hour programme and a panel discussion on such a site.

It sounded silly, but it also made us all log on to the site and check when we would die or reborn in our future life. The site said that I would be born as a woodpecker and my colleagues as Dodos or bears.

Many of us do not believe in reincarnations, but the belief seems to help. Most importantly it helps in checking our actions. If you learn that you were a chicken in your past life, wouldn’t you feel that killing animals was wrong? Imagine you were born a beggar, wouldn’t you feel you should be a sympathetic towards beggars now?

The belief that our present life actions determine our future lives helps us check our actions. Some time ago a channel showed a programme which pointed to the theory of reincarnation advocated mostly by Hinduism and Buddhism was mentioned in the Bible too. It interpreted the lines that one’s future generations would suffer if they did not follow the Lord, as the “future generations” pointing towards reincarnations. It said that one would pay for his actions in the present life in his next life. This also sends shivers down our spine.

Even the existence of God is questionable, for none of us have seen him. For those who claim they have seen God, there are scientific explanations to counter their seeing God. But even the belief that God is overseeing us helps us live righteously. If there was no fear then crimes would have been much more.

Nature worship is often termed as plagiarism and “worship of false Gods.” But I would say there is nothing false is worshipping earth which sustains us. If only we still considered nature as God, the earth would not have been polluted. The respect to our rivers and mountains would help us keep them clean. Who says nature cannot fight back when we wrong it. The consequences are before us with climate changes, green house effect, glacier melting and all the other vengeance nature plans to mete out on us.

Surprising
Hey Its surprising to know that all these facts are already part of the great Hindu book, the Bhagvad Geeta. All the concepts and FAQ are answered in that book, which interestingly is in an Q&A format. The only comment that I have after reading this blog is : Go read Geeta!

me too inquisitive....
First of all plzz tell me which site tells me wot we were in our previous lives..if we had one. I think people today dont realize how short our lives are n wot purpose do we have?Sometimes i feel its a kind of test we all are put to by the master creator(whom we call GOD) and with our brains washed we are send down on this mini planet to perform a small test.During this short life we keep getting hints from HIM in various forms.Be it Gautam Buddha,Ram,Allah,Christ,Guru Nanak,Mahavira or even Mother Teresa. Once we die, we'll observe from above and say "Oh Damn!Had I known wot I was sent for, I would have been a good human being but ALAS I failed." And then starts our real life somewhere far off in the galaxy where we meet ur grand parents n those whom we believed to have left us forever..... Its strange but can be true if u believe the Einstein's theory of e=mc^2. He did prove that the MASTER CREATOR is moving with the speed of light and when its 10000 years here on the planet its just few hours for him. So folks think before u do anything...the life is yet to begin...its just a part of it where we are expected to be GOOD human beings not just existing but living with a purpose."Its no good to have a sight without vision".

quite right,
No one religion in this world tell about the past and future.such sights should not be formed,as well as should not be discussed on the electronic media which creat traumoil in the minds of humanbeings.I think these sights are created only motto to mint the money.
