Colonial Discourse and the Suffering of Indian American Children Book Cover.webp
We examine the impact of the current colonial-racist discourse around Hindu Dharma on Indians across the world and prove that this discourse causes psychological effects similar to those caused by racism: shame, inferiority, embarrassment, identity confusion, assimilation, and a detachment from our cultural heritage.

Talk:Memories of Life between two deaths

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Vishal Agarwal


Individuals who have past life recollections general report the following three types of memory of the time between their two lives (i.e. between death in the previous life and their rebirth)[1]:

  1. No memory at all: Most people have no memory at all of the intervening period between two lives.
  2. A memory of having spent that time on the earth. This is the case with a few of the individuals. Typically, subjects with this memory recall having spent their time close to where they had died. For example, one person claimed that after he was murdered, he saw the murderers drag his body into a field. Thereafter, he lived on a bamboo tree close to the scene of the murder for years, till he followed a passing man, who was to be his father in the next life, to his home.
  3. A memory of having spent time in another realm (e.g. a heaven). This type of memory is more common than the second case, but still rare compared to the first case (of no memory). In these cases, the subjects often suggest that in the extra-terrestrial realm, a sage met them and advised them to return to the earth.
