Reincarnation which is a synonym of the word re-birth simply means ‘being born again’. Talking about it in the human soul’s perspective which is separate from the physical body and is immortal in nature, reincarnation implies ‘to be made flesh again’.

Many a times the term reincarnation is used synonymously with that of metamorphosis and resurrection. It must be clarified at the very start that all these three terms differ in their meanings and implications to a considerable extent. While metamorphosis means changing one form of life to another, the Christian term resurrection refers to rise of the body from the dead.

Reincarnation is also known as soul transmigration and has been a concept which has been believed in since the ancient times. Prevalent in both the eastern and western hemispheres of the word during those days, it was part of almost all doctrines that studied the infinite potential of the human soul.

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.

In Hinduism, the soul is considered to be separate from that of the physical body of man. The world is an illusion where the soul reincarnates into a body, leaves it in death and thereafter reincarnates into another one till the time that it achieves the height of spiritual attainment and can unleash its full potential. The past deeds the man has done in his previous birth is known as the ‘karma’ and effects his fate in this present life.

When after numerous reincarnations you understand that real lasting happiness rests in something else than earthly desires, you start spiritual practice known as ‘Sadhana’ and ultimately realize the ultimate truth that soul is the central seat of all emotions, power and energy and all other things are illusions. It is then that your reincarnation stops and your soul attains the final liberation or ‘Moksha’.

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.

Theosophical belief on the other hand refers to spirit or souls as an immortal, omnipotent, ageless, timeless and formless source of energy which comes to and goes back from the earth through a rhythmic process. It manifests itself on earth in life form only to gain more experience and after that is over, it departs to the high sublime layers to complete the rhythmic process.
