In my view (an ignorant one) rebirth is a great and plausible
idea of the indian religions. But a fact ? Are other religions
then wrong ?
As far as I understood right, there are a few high spiritual
persons who can remember their previous life. What about
the lot of other people ? Maybe the aspect of remembering is
not so an important aspect of Hinduism.
Really, I just wish to learn!
