Dhruvaṁ Janma Mṛitasya Cha

Abstract

Dhruvaṁ Janma Mṛitasya Cha (र्ध्रुवं जन्म मृतस्य च) is the popular and famous adage found in Bhagavad Gita about reincarnation. An attempt is made in the article to view the concepts of death and reincarnation as indicated in Gita and compared them with the views of modern reincarnation researchers. What was told in Bhagavadgita 5,000 years in a handful of slokas is indicated in the works of modern reincarnation researchers around the world. There is every possibility that researching reincarnation using modern tools on the lines indicated in Bhagavad gita may one day provide meaningful, scientific mechanism of reincarnation.
