Product Description
Book Description
THE SCIENCE OF REINCARNATION
A comprehensive explanation of reincarnation from a Vedic perspective. This book covers many aspects of the subject of reincarnation, with quotes and thoughts from famous scholars and teachers throughout time alongside some first-hand accounts. What makes it different from other books on the subject is the input from ancient Vedic sources, and the writings of Swami Prabhupada who gives a highly clear and complete description of the entire phenomena as understood through generations of enlightened souls in the East.

I thought this was a very good introductory book on the topic of renicarnation, and the stories from the ancient Indian scriptures are a real treat. A well organised, solid-allround read with some mention of Near-Death Experiences aswell. It also gives an insight into Eastern Meditation techniques and the process of Bhakti-Yoga.
It is not a modern collection of reincarnation cases, as in the work of Ian Stevenson, but would complement a book like that very well to give a balanced perspective on the phenomenon.

An amazing religious/scientific approach to reincarnation
22 Oct 1999
I have read many books on reincarnation throughout my life. This is a relatively small book and I was not very impressed with its appearance at my first glance. As I kept reading it, I am became deeply involved. It is impressive the way the author presents the subject of reincarnation in such a scientific manner with touches of religious belief, and with so many logical examples.

Good Read
30 Jun 2008
I agree with the previous comments. This is a fascinating book. I couldn't put it down; walked with it wherever I knew I would have free time, just so I could learn more about the secrets of reincarnation as believed and taught by Bhaktivedanta. I found this book just sitting on my dad's bookshelf, just waiting to be read. It was originally published in 1982, when I was four years old. Now, it's the year 2008 and the language, concepts, fundamentals of this book still hold true to this day. In other words, he has presented his theory in a non-temporizing way similar to the Bible, so that despite what decade you read this book, you will still be able to understand and/or relate to his message(s). It's also small (pocket size, ~130 pages) and has drawings and color pictures that relate to passages in the book. In addition, at the end of the book, he has provided a glossary, a listing of his other published works, and a listing of ISKON (I guess, Hare Krishna) centers around the world. All-in-all, this book makes for a good and interesting read because Bhaktivedanta's theory on reincarnation is just as feasible as the theories about the miracles of Jesus Christ. Theologically, anything is possible. It's just a matter of whether or not you actually believe it.
