The term ‘Reincarnation’ which literally means ‘to be made flesh again’ refers to ‘being born again’ or in one word – Rebirth. It is the belief that the soul of man which is separate from its body is immortal in nature and is reborn or reincarnated in a new born baby after the previous body dies.

In contrasting the concept of reincarnation with those of metamorphosis and resurrection, it must be said that while the former involves change from one form of life top another, the latter term in the Christian sense refers to rising up of the body from the dead.

Reincarnation which is also known as soul transmigration is a concept that has been prevalent since the ancient times in both the eastern and western worlds through ancient religions, age old cultures and spiritual doctrines aimed at unearthing that ultimate truth and unleashing the infinite potential of man.

One of the oldest religious scripts on earth known as the Upanishads of the Hindus contain content on reincarnation as a truth of life. The core of this ancient and spiritually advanced religion is the belief in reincarnation and its connection to the ultimate and universal truth of mankind.

Against the backdrop of this, other core aspects of Hinduism like those of Karma, Sadhana, Moksha needs to be mentioned. Karma refers to your deeds in your previous birth which go on to define the quality of life that you have in your present life. The primary theory is that the immortal soul is trapped in a physical body and when the body dies the soul leaves it and travels to the body of another new born reincarnating itself in the process. After numerous births one comes to understand that world is only an illusion and the eternal and deep lasting happiness can be attained only through realization of the ultimate truth.

With this understanding he starts sadhana or spiritual practice which would lead him to that stage. When he finally experiences the truth of the soul and his ultimate potential, it is then that the soul gets liberated or attains Moksha and thereafter ceases to reincarnate again.

If we look toward Egypt or Greece during this time, ancient Egyptian practices can also be seen to believe in reincarnation. It is because of this fact that they embalmed their dead in order to preserve them so that they could travel with the immortal ‘ka’ to the next world. Even in Greek philosophy, the soul was believed to leave the body in death, rest in underworld for some time and thereafter reincarnate itself in the body of a new born. This rest in between was done for purification purposes and once a soul was completely pure, it got liberated and free.

In case of Theosophical beliefs, soul is the source of prime energy which does not have any age or form. According to their beliefs, souls are a part of a rhythmic process in which in manifests itself a number of times in this world to gain experience and leaves temporarily through death in order to manifest once again some time later.
