Pujar Posted March 12, 2002 Report Share Posted March 12, 2002 Are the people following Non-Vedic religions born again (depending on their good deeds) into Vedic religion, before salvation? Is it also possible for people following Vedic religion to be born into Non-Vedic religion due to their Karma? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhaktajoy Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 Every man attains enlighment sooner or later in some religion/meditation practises/near death experiences etc.Reincarnation is working bringing us from the lowest to the highest.

Gauracandra Posted March 14, 2002 Report Share Posted March 14, 2002 This is difficult to answer I think, because it is hard to tell how Karma will affect individuals. For instance, I would think a person who lived a devout Islamic life, would take birth next following a similar religion with the same mood. However, suppose a Muslim treated a Hindu poorly in this life. It is possible he will take birth as a Hindu in his next life, in order to receive similar treatment. It is always hard to tell how karma will kick in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. This suggests that in spite of samsara, there may be continuity in incarnations due to sanga. However, suppose a Muslim treated a Hindu poorly in this life. It is possible he will take birth as a Hindu in his next life, in order to receive similar treatment. In some NDE reports, souls would see the appearance of Christ/ViSNu from the darkness as a being of bright light. They would be shown their deeds of current life simultaneously in a roll of film or an opened scroll. They would then be given a couple of options of the future. Thus God's will & individuals' will would mingle to determine the future ways. These reports were depicted from the point of ethereal/astral world. In Tantra doctrines, on the contrary, death, incarnation, & karma are depicted from the point of people's collective inside world. Karma runs automatically in people's hearts that is interconnected as one world so that individuals become the parts & parcels of God. Thus if you say "I wouldn't be punished. No one can cast me down to hell." I can rely "You may go into & out of hell whenever you wish to, because God is just in your heart."
