Abstract

REINCARNATION, which means rebirth of the soul or self in a series of physical or preternatural embodiments such as human being, animal, plant or divine, angelic and demonic embodiments, is a fundamental doctrine in some Asian religions. Though it has been stated that this idea could be originated in primitive religions, in Indian religions it is an essential doctrine directly connected with two basic beliefs namely KARMA and SAMSARA. For Hindus the process of rebirth is endless, but it can be ceased by true liberation or MOKSA. The development of the concept of REINCARNATION is traceable through the Hindu Scriptures such as VEDAS, BRAHMANAS, UPANISADS and BHAGAVADGITA, which is a part of the great Indian epic Mhabharata. Scholars put forward different theories about the origin of the Hindu doctrine of REINCARNATION, so much so that they recognized it as a non-Indian idea; however eventually they reached to a consensus: the belief stems from Indian indigenous cults.
