Dear Giriji:
Thank you and Ramakrishnanji for the followup posts. I have heard from
my father about Sri shukadeva's birth. He wasn't coming out of his
mother's womb, because he did not want to come back to this mAyAland.
Apparently, God allowed him to have the memory from his previous births.
I expect to find the reference in the Srimad Bhagavat, but have not found
it yet.
I will look forward to any reference you can find.
With best regards,
Dhruba.
