(A SIENTIFIC STUDY ON THE MECHANISM

FOR TRANSMIGRATION OF SOULS)

INTRODUCTION> Soul and its transmigration is one of the oldest

human concepts, preceding science and its discovery of evolution by
many millennia. Yet it remains as big a mystery as ever as it happens
to be the least empirical subject.

We have two arguments in favor of the existence of the soul. The

first one is an authentic case of rebirth; and the second one is the
philosophical induction from nature. Since nature is impartial to lives
in all other aspects, why should it discriminate in the quality and
duration of life? There isn’t any ground if there is only one life for
each soul.

It, therefore, stands to enlightened reason that though it appears to

discriminate in one life (some have, many don’t have) it is, in reality,
very impartial in the long journey of souls, spread over innumerable
lives. And to top it all the memory about previous lives, is, as a rule,
withheld from the conscious of the present life. The soul starts each
life afresh.

Once soul and its transmigration are accepted, many questions crop up.
Why should a soul want to be born again into this bad and mad world?
Is it un-fulfilled desires or reward/punishment or both? How far is
the soul free to select parents, place and gender for the next birth?

NEED FOR RESEARCH> Two slow and invisible processes are entwined
around life in any form. But, no human system of thought incorporates
both. Religions would not touch evolution and science would not look at
souls. Need it be said that all the systems are deficient in this
important respect?
Evolution gave us our true origin and transmigration will supply our
true destination. Together they constitute the complete perspective
on life.

Realizing the importance of the subject, a scientific research on the

mechanism of transmigration is the crying need of the hour.

METHODOLOGY AND OBJECTIVES> In the first phase the research

will concentrate on the personal accounts of rebirth cases, much on
the lines of a psychological post-mortem of the soul, as published
from time to time. It should give us the basics about the soul such as
what is retained by it in addition to memories and emotions, and the
personal motive for rebirth.

In phase two some verifiable parameter of the soul for its true
identification has to be discovered through advance preparedness for
rebirths. It may be accomplished by recording various parameters
such as thumb-print, frequency of voice, DNA-RNA prints of all the
members of a few hamlets then comparing the parameters of the new
born with those of the dead.

Successful matching will give us the verifiable parameter for

identification and prove conclusively the existence and journeying of
the soul. Over the years it will also throw light on (1) the criterion
guiding the selection of parents, place, gender and sequence among
the siblings; (2) the influence of previous lives on the present one,
which, if true, will establish the fact that the roots of individual
nature go deeper than genetics and environment.

In phase three some technique for activating the unconscious memory

of the soul has to be developed to probe deeper into the past
experiences of the soul. Extensive research in this phase will lead us
to the general pattern of transmigration and its purpose- the
evolution of the soul.
