Athena, you might be wondering, why I am silent when Hinduism is being talked. First, I am not a Hindu by nature but only by birth. Also, I am human by nature. I have already talked a lot about Hinduism on other threads and tried to relate with my feeling deep inside ME or in my individualistic consciousness.

Quote by: Charlatan I had two questions, namely reincarnation and scripture validility. |
I waited for Charlatan to describe the reason for different luck and destiny of not only human beings but of all living beings; before I would reply his two questions. But since, his explanation has not come up, I am putting my views about his two questions as follows:
Reincarnation has been proved beyond doubt from unique and vary rare revealation of past life's incidences by a number of persons (male or female) all over the world as their first hand informations. One such lady lives in our locality, remembering her two of her last lives.
Recently, I mentioned in a different thread while arguing the possibility of life after death. One member argued, when whole body along with brain gets perished on death then, which part gets reincarnated. He further went on to argue that there is no kind of memory left after death or rebirth so life after death is not possible. To that I said one, that what one calls the person as (I), gets reincarnated and two no body has any kind of memory left about first three years of age; this in no way means that nobody exists during first three years of age from birth. It must be understood clearly that there is no connection between memory and existence. See, during night we do not remember anything that does not mean, we do not exist during night !!
Reincarnation is a must which is based on the urge to attain the lost dearmost body after every death (since body is considered to be as one's own self due to ignorance) and also for the reason to enjoy the fruits of past actions done in various lives (reaction to actions) . Those set of reactions based on actions done, decide the "Luck and Destiny" for next life; I feel it so !!!
Coming to second question about the validity of scriptures of Hinduism, I would say wise people keep on existing over whole time of civilisation. Scriptures must have kept modifying from time to time but, must be having some truth in it to begin with. That truth to my mind as explained earlier on the thread "Do Gods fight and kill each other", is the symbolic representation of various energy levels existing in one's own body, which has been given names of different God and Godesses. This probably was done to make a common man understand.
Main philosophy of Hinduism is Indvidualistic and Universal Consciousness and their interconversion from one into other. Conversion from one Consciousness to other is possible and through overcoming the hurdles of ignorance or vice versa to stick to the ignorance to remain as individual life after life.
