I grew up in Easten part of the world before moving to the USA 20 yrs ago.
Many Eastern relegion believes in life after death ( reincrnation) and the law of Karma
There is a verty nice book by a spiritual master  these subject  titled
Life beyond Phyiscal death  and The absolute law of Karma which can be downloaded from:
http://www.awgp.org/gamma/LiteratureEnglish
Recently , there are a lot of reseacherers in West  taking interest in the subject after a reputed  US doctor Dr. Brain Weiss  ( www.brianweiss.com) wrote some best sellers ( many lifes  many masters and a few more).

Also, it is belived in Eastern relegions that when a soul find a new body ( rebirth), the Karmas  left from past lives are carreid forward to the next life to explain  likes, dislikes and overall personality  of a new born and the unexpected circumstances that comes to ones life.  ( Theory of Karma). Also, there are many explanations found in terms of " Samskaras"  (  personality seeds) and how they stay with the travelling souls.

I am not an expert on Eastern relegions and have almost no knowlege of western relegions.  I am not writing this to  hurt or challange anyone's relegious beliefs. But I am curious on the subject.

Could you please write more on this subject?
I would be intersted in more references on the subject.

Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya---A seer-sage and a visionary of the New Golden Era
His personality was a harmonious blend of a saint, spiritual scientist, yogi, philosopher, psychologist, writer, reformer, freedom fighter, researcher, eminent scholar and visionary. He pioneered the revival of spirituality and creative integration of the modern and ancient sciences and religion relevant in the challenging circumstances of the present times. In 1979, he founded the Brahmavarchas Research Institute, the research center in Haridwar (India) dedicated to the integration of the modern and ancient sciences in a practical way motivated by the noble goal of health and happiness for all. This center houses well equipped laboratories of Haemetology, Biochemistry, Neurophysiology, Cardiology, Phytochemistry, Psychometry, Yagyopathy etc.
At the age of 15, (Jan 18th, 1926) a great Himalayan yogi by the name of Swami Sarveshvaranandji appeared before him in astral body from the flame of the Dipaka (lamp) and guided him throughout his entire life. The next 24 years of his life were devoted to 24 Mahapurashcharanas –each consisting of the rhythmic recitation (japa) of 2.4 million Gayatri Mantra with strictest of disciplines. In 1943, he married Bhagwati Devi, and ever since, the saintly couple dedicatedly pursued the noble mission of spiritual upliftment of humankind.
Realizing the potential of inspiring literature and its relevance in the present era of intellectual evolution, he had chosen writing as the principal mode towards uprooting the evil tendencies and blind faith from people's minds and arousing the indwelling wisdom, strength and spiritual bliss. He wrote about 3000 enlightening books in Hindi on almost all topics concerning human life. He translated the entire Vedic Vangmaya (4 Vedas, 108 Upanishads, 18 Puranas etc.) in Hindi elucidating the tradition, style, universality and history of Vedic Literature. He also practiced higher-level Sadhana on the arduous heights of Himalayas several times and had established enliven contact with Rishis of Himalayas. During 1984-1986, he carried out the unique spiritual experiment of Sukshmikarana, meaning sublimation of vital force and physical, mental and spiritual energies. He authored a special set of 20 books highlighting the future of the world and conveying the message of the dawn of the New Era of Truth during the 21st Century. On 2nd June 1990, he voluntarily shed his physical sheath.
You can also visit www.akhand-jyoti.org to read Akhand Jyoti Magazine in English. One can also visit www.awgp.org and www.dsvv.org
If you like these books , please let others know who may be interested.

Last  September , I heard an Audio lecture by Hira Ratan Manek ( HRM)  and I got so intruiged by what he was saying, I hosted him in New Jersey for a series of free lectures in November.. For the three days he was with me, I did not see him eating any solid food and the verified the same with many others who hosted him in various parts of US.

His method of gazing sun in the safe period of sunrise and sunset ( with UV index below 2) and his reasoning behind it seemed very convinving and I have started doing it.. ( Eventhought it has been thought by medical science that it may be unsafe).....
I have reached a  sungazing time of 10 minues now with no negative effects. I past three months, I have came across thousands who have been practising this method ( www.solarheaing.com) including a few medical doctors on various discusssion forums on yahoo and few other sites..

If anyone is intersted, I can write more and post more links here.  The method seems to help big time with mental anxietly and fear.. Some people are also reporting phyisical benifits and many reporting spiritual upliftment..


It is o.k. for anyone not to beleive also and all views are welcome..

will like to share a a nice online book ( englsih translation) with the group with title
sleep, dreams and spiritual reflections"

It can be downloaded for free from http://www.awgp.org/english/books/sleep_dreams.pdf
Author - Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya

Here is the preface and TOC for the book:

PREFACE
Dreams have always been the focus of curiosity, interest, and quest of the human mind. These have led to varieties of false convictions and mystic notions on the one hand, and have accelerated research in Psychology, Neurology and Parapsychology on the other. The reality, origin, reflections and implications of dreams are discussed in great detail in this book, which is compiled from the translation of the Chapters 4 and 5 of the volume 18 of "Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya Vangmaya" series.A detailed description of the history and trends in the oriental and occidental philosophy and science of dreams is
presented here. The myths and facts about acquisition of extra sensory knowledge, precognition, and psychological depths of the unconscious mind and the unknown subtle world of the inner self through dreams are elucidated here. Thorough reviews of Freud's, Jung's and contemporary psychological theories vis-à-vis the relevant aspects of the ancient science of spirituality are discussed under broad perspectives.
The current status and future scope of research on dreams is discussed with substantial references. Special attention is focused on dream based early detection, diagnosis and therapies in the context of reported scientific experiments.
The readers will also get to know how the decipheration of dreams could help resolving the complexities of
psychosomatic disorders and elevating one's psychology. Sleep is an integral part of life. The variegated experiences of dreams also become possible in this phase. In normal case, for most of us sleep is almost an automatic, mechanical, or routine process. We do realize its importance in
relaxing and recharging of the body and the mind but hardly pay any attention to its significant role in harmonizing the brain functions, mental stability and self-development. The present book unfolds the multiple facets of this natural and crucial process of daily-life.
Interrelationship of sleep, dreams and the limitless potentials of the conscious, subconscious, and the unconscious mind are lucidly focused here in great depth. The causes, pernicious effects, and remedies of insomnia, somnabulism, and other disorders of sleep are discussed with substantial examples. Live examples of mysterious cases of sleepless healthy and normal life for several decades and those of decades long natural sleep are also reported with details on the ancient and modern research findings on such wonders of human brain. The trenchancy of mind and its improved learning capabilities during deep sleep is given special mention here and the results of recent experiments, research trends, and scope of the techniques like hypnopaedia is discussed together with the specific "yog sadhnas"of relevance.
It is said that the 'time-capsule' existing in the inner cores of unconscious mind contains the key to realization of
supernormal faculties like –– clairvoyance, telepathy, premonition, intuition, audio-visual perceptions beyond the
constraints of time and space, complete knowledge of the past and future and of the esoteric features of nature.... The false convictions, illusions and the truth of the transcendental realities of dreams and the subliminal world of the unconscious mind are brought out trenchantly by the author with discussions on a wide varieties of live examples of dreams collected from authentic reports and research documents. The list of examples includes the dreams that led to great scientific discoveries or masterpiece creations of literature, art and music in the modern age, as well as the significant dreams of the architects of world history....
The book presents the invaluable pearls of ancient knowledge in terms of – elucidation of the five levels of dream vis-à-vis the five subtle sheaths of consciousness and the deeper aspects of creative conjugation of mind with the inner impulses of the soul. It is up to us how best we make use of this rare guidance on spiritual evolution and opportunity of epoch-making research bestowed on us....
It is hoped that the book would be interesting and informative to all those who would read it out of sheer inquisitiveness about dreams. It would, at the same time, motivate and effectively guide the researchers of the hidden domains of human mind.

There is a nice book titled " Extra sensory potentials of mind" which talks about the telepathy and many other subjects combining spirituality with mordern science examples.
I have posted  this link in an another post but thought that people intersted in Metaphysics may like this one also

It can be read/ free downloaded from
http://www.awgp.org/english/books/extra_potentials.pdf

Author: – Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya  ( An Indian Spiritual Master)

Following is the preface and TOC for the book...
PREFACE
Spiritually enlightened mind is said to be a source of divine potentials. Hidden beneath the core of the conscious mind, there lie the prodigious powers of the unconscious mind. Activation of the
subtle centers in the brain and the endocrine system helps expression of the miraculous powers of the inner mind and manifestation of its extrasensory faculties in the gross world. Clairvoyance, precognition, knowledge of the hidden or the unseen, realization of the distant past or the future as happening in the present, extrasensory perceptions beyond the barriers of space-time constraints, are among the much talked of supernatural experiences. These also constitute the major cause of common curiosity on the one front and the focus of meticulous scientific inquisitiveness on theother.The present book has brought in-depth details on the myths and realities of the extrasensory perceptions, supramental talents and supernormal experiences. It is compiled from the translation of
the Chapter 6 of the Volume 18 of 'Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya Vangmaya' series. The author has thoroughly attended to multiple aspects of the cosmic evolution of consciousness in the human
body, spiritual transmutation of hidden intellect and activation of the extrasensory power centers like the "Sahastra Chakra" and the " Agya Chakra" by different kinds of "Yoga Sadhana( Practice)" with adept guidance.He has also discussed – along with evidential examples – the possibilities of sudden arousal of supernatural faculties because of the intrinsic mental tendencies and spiritual assimilation since past live(s), and the use of hypnotism and Yoga Nidra in psychic healing, understanding the complexities
of human mind and awakening of latent talents.
Several sections are devoted here to the riddles of Nature posed by the mysterious experiences
ranging from – the recurrence of past events at specific places, sudden appearance of a ruined
kingdom, etc, to – the esoteric existence of "Siddha Pithas" (aroused hermitages) in the impregnable domains of the Himalayas, journey of the other worlds through the black holes, etc.
The author provides a marvelous combination of rare information and references from the ancient scriptures and modern scientific research findings. The ample collection of authentic examples on
each topic adds to the lucidity and liveliness of the book. The perspicuous explanation and scientific
elucidation of the "Para" and "Apara" forms of Nature, matter and anti-matter, realization of time as the
fourth dimension, horizons of existence beyond the three dimensional space, etc presented here are
truly remarkable. The book also offers us a unique opportunity of elevated scientific thinking and
spiritual illumination of our mental realms. We certainly can't afford missing an engrossed reading of
this peerless piece of knowledge.

I will like to share a a nice online book ( englsih translation) with the group with title
sleep, dreams and spiritual reflections"

It can be downloaded for free from http://www.awgp.org/english/books/sleep_dreams.pdf
Author - Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya

Here is the preface and TOC for the book:

PREFACE
Dreams have always been the focus of curiosity, interest, and quest of the human mind. These have led to varieties of false convictions and mystic notions on the one hand, and have accelerated research in Psychology, Neurology and Parapsychology on the other. The reality, origin, reflections and implications of dreams are discussed in great detail in this book, which is compiled from the translation of the Chapters 4 and 5 of the volume 18 of "Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya Vangmaya" series.A detailed description of the history and trends in the oriental and occidental philosophy and science of dreams is
presented here. The myths and facts about acquisition of extra sensory knowledge, precognition, and psychological depths of the unconscious mind and the unknown subtle world of the inner self through dreams are elucidated here. Thorough reviews of Freud's, Jung's and contemporary psychological theories vis-à-vis the relevant aspects of the ancient science of spirituality are discussed under broad perspectives.
The current status and future scope of research on dreams is discussed with substantial references. Special attention is focused on dream based early detection, diagnosis and therapies in the context of reported scientific experiments.
The readers will also get to know how the decipheration of dreams could help resolving the complexities of
psychosomatic disorders and elevating one's psychology. Sleep is an integral part of life. The variegated experiences of dreams also become possible in this phase. In normal case, for most of us sleep is almost an automatic, mechanical, or routine process. We do realize its importance in
relaxing and recharging of the body and the mind but hardly pay any attention to its significant role in harmonizing the brain functions, mental stability and self-development. The present book unfolds the multiple facets of this natural and crucial process of daily-life.
Interrelationship of sleep, dreams and the limitless potentials of the conscious, subconscious, and the unconscious mind are lucidly focused here in great depth. The causes, pernicious effects, and remedies of insomnia, somnabulism, and other disorders of sleep are discussed with substantial examples. Live examples of mysterious cases of sleepless healthy and normal life for several decades and those of decades long natural sleep are also reported with details on the ancient and modern research findings on such wonders of human brain. The trenchancy of mind and its improved learning capabilities during deep sleep is given special mention here and the results of recent experiments, research trends, and scope of the techniques like hypnopaedia is discussed together with the specific "yog sadhnas"of relevance.
It is said that the 'time-capsule' existing in the inner cores of unconscious mind contains the key to realization of
supernormal faculties like –– clairvoyance, telepathy, premonition, intuition, audio-visual perceptions beyond the
constraints of time and space, complete knowledge of the past and future and of the esoteric features of nature.... The false convictions, illusions and the truth of the transcendental realities of dreams and the subliminal world of the unconscious mind are brought out trenchantly by the author with discussions on a wide varieties of live examples of dreams collected from authentic reports and research documents. The list of examples includes the dreams that led to great scientific discoveries or masterpiece creations of literature, art and music in the modern age, as well as the significant dreams of the architects of world history....
The book presents the invaluable pearls of ancient knowledge in terms of – elucidation of the five levels of dream vis-à-vis the five subtle sheaths of consciousness and the deeper aspects of creative conjugation of mind with the inner impulses of the soul. It is up to us how best we make use of this rare guidance on spiritual evolution and opportunity of epoch-making research bestowed on us....
It is hoped that the book would be interesting and informative to all those who would read it out of sheer inquisitiveness about dreams. It would, at the same time, motivate and effectively guide the researchers of the hidden domains of human mind.

There is a nice book titled " Extra sensory potentials of mind" which talks about the telepathy and many other subjects combining spirituality with mordern science examples.
It can be read/ free downloaded from
http://www.awgp.org/english/books/extra_potentials.pdf

Author: – Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya
Following is the preface and TOC for the book...
PREFACE
Spiritually enlightened mind is said to be a source of divine potentials. Hidden beneath the core of the conscious mind, there lie the prodigious powers of the unconscious mind. Activation of the
subtle centers in the brain and the endocrine system helps expression of the miraculous powers of the inner mind and manifestation of its extrasensory faculties in the gross world. Clairvoyance, precognition, knowledge of the hidden or the unseen, realization of the distant past or the future as happening in the present, extrasensory perceptions beyond the barriers of space-time constraints, are among the much talked of supernatural experiences. These also constitute the major cause of common curiosity on the one front and the focus of meticulous scientific inquisitiveness on theother.The present book has brought in-depth details on the myths and realities of the extrasensory perceptions, supramental talents and supernormal experiences. It is compiled from the translation of
the Chapter 6 of the Volume 18 of 'Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya Vangmaya' series. The author has thoroughly attended to multiple aspects of the cosmic evolution of consciousness in the human
body, spiritual transmutation of hidden intellect and activation of the extrasensory power centers like the "Sahastra Chakra" and the " Agya Chakra" by different kinds of "Yoga Sadhana( Practice)" with adept guidance.He has also discussed – along with evidential examples – the possibilities of sudden arousal of supernatural faculties because of the intrinsic mental tendencies and spiritual assimilation since past live(s), and the use of hypnotism and Yoga Nidra in psychic healing, understanding the complexities
of human mind and awakening of latent talents.
Several sections are devoted here to the riddles of Nature posed by the mysterious experiences
ranging from – the recurrence of past events at specific places, sudden appearance of a ruined
kingdom, etc, to – the esoteric existence of "Siddha Pithas" (aroused hermitages) in the impregnable domains of the Himalayas, journey of the other worlds through the black holes, etc.
The author provides a marvelous combination of rare information and references from the ancient scriptures and modern scientific research findings. The ample collection of authentic examples on
each topic adds to the lucidity and liveliness of the book. The perspicuous explanation and scientific
elucidation of the "Para" and "Apara" forms of Nature, matter and anti-matter, realization of time as the
fourth dimension, horizons of existence beyond the three dimensional space, etc presented here are
truly remarkable. The book also offers us a unique opportunity of elevated scientific thinking and
spiritual illumination of our mental realms. We certainly can't afford missing an engrossed reading of
this peerless piece of knowledge.

I came across this nice article, which made me think about the role that we must play in deciding how to use scieince. I found this article very thought provoking (eventough it is writen based on spiritual beliefs based on Hindu tradition, I felt that it applies to all of us), and feel like sharing it with the group.. It is also a combination of thoughts from two Indian spiritual masters of recent times (Sri Aruvindo and Sri Ram sharma Acharya--- the author of this article, www.awgp.org)
Here is the article:

The universe comes out of the union of two fundamental forces: matter (jada, or 'that which gives shape') and consciousness (chetan). These are also respectively known as prak•ati (the manifested form) and purusha (the invisible enlivening spirit). Both have their own merits when considered in isolation; however, it is the union and co-operation of these two entities that works wonders. The human body is a very good example of this fact. Our body is made up of five basic elements – the panca tatvas1. The body is an integrated form of various organs, muscles, nerves, arteries, veins etc., and can be used to accomplish any desired work but is non-functional without consciousness. The consciousness part of man (termed "the soul") thinks, decides and directs organs towards a particular task. The separation of consciousness from matter results in death. A dead body is useless since it is not functional. In the absence of consciousness, it rapidly decays and its constituting elements eventually dissolve into their cosmic states.

In essence, it is the association of matter and consciousness that gives rise to functionality. Matter alone, otherwise, is unorganised and of very little use even though it is present in abundance in the universe. For example, water is plentiful in oceans but is too salty. The atmosphere is full of gases, electro-magnetic rays, X-rays etc. but these components are not useful on their own. It is the human intervention, or alternatively the intervention of developed consciousness, that organises matter so as to make it useful. For example, man has developed methods to process water to make it fit for human consumption. Fire and electricity were present in the universe since times immemorial, but man's intelligence organised these entities in a utilisable form. Thus, although the components of Nature are powerful in their own right, their usefulness has depended on the inventive skills of human consciousness.

Science and spirituality:

The discovery of the powers of Nature, their organisation and the skills that make them useful to man is called science. Science can thus be called the unison of matter and consciousness. Science has made possible the progress of the human civilisation.

It should be noted that the knowledge of the use of matter is not enough; its righteous use should also be considered. The same criterion also applies to consciousness. In the absence of their righteous use, matter and consciousness are open to be abused. The attraction of immediate gains is such that its long-term effects are not appreciated and this shortsighted judgement prompts man to misuse power. Ultimately, he creates a web in which he gets trapped, just like a fish caught in a net. This results in suffering, public anger and self-destruction, and yet it is a practice generally adopted by most people. The society and the government rarely succeed in preventing such practices.

Science can be legitimately credited for the current progress and prosperity, but it is incapable of differentiating between use and abuse. The only way to control its misuse is to incorporate wisdom based on foresightedness and the nobilities associated with human glory. This is the essence of spirituality. Spirituality means, "centred and established on the soul", that is, activities in life are designed keeping the awakening of the soul as the aim. The soul is the individualized consciousness present in the human body.

Consciousness is more powerful than matter. As discussed earlier, it is the miracle of consciousness that organises matter in an orderly way. However, unrestrained consciousness has drawbacks too. For example, it is easy to find faults in others, but does anyone try to observe his own self for their own faults? Usually, an individual is biased towards his shortcomings and considers him self the best. A person trying to prove him self right will present several arguments in his favour. This distorts the reality and generates undesirable thoughts.

The dual accomplishment of the righteous use of science and the refinement of consciousness is possible only through spirituality.

The great divide:

Since the 17th century, when modern science made its first appearance, it has clashed with religion/spirituality. At the root of the clash lie two streams of beliefs. Science believes everything is made up of matter and therefore ought to be demonstrable through experiments.

A spiritualist insists that pure Spirit is reality, not matter. The great Indian seer-sage Sri Aurobindo has termed the scientific viewpoint as "the materialist denial" and the spiritual viewpoint as "the refusal of the ascetic" in his magnum opus The Life Divine. Discussing these issues further, Sri Aurobindo says the premise of science is that the physical senses are our only means of obtaining knowledge. Therefore, reason cannot transcend the reach of the senses and so, says Sri Aurobindo, "it must deal always and solely with the facts which they [the senses] provide or suggest."2 Science says that we cannot go beyond our senses and cannot use them "as a bridge leading us into a domain where more powerful and less limited faculties come into play..."3 In other words, science denies the existence of anything that is supernatural, supraphysical or extrasensory. In doing so, science assumes Nature to be an unintelligent substance or energy and uses this excuse to refuse, in the words of Sri Aurobindo, "to extend the limits of inquiry". However, science has come to a stage where prominent scientists accept that there are several phenomena, backed by compelling evidences, which cannot be explained by the current formulations of scientific theories and laws, but only by the presence of an unthinkable, omniscient Intelligence. Examples include: the behaviour of Earth as a single living organism, telepathy, precognition, the presence of a Universal Mind, etc.

Sri Aurobindo says the spiritualist believes that pure Spirit is a reality because there are supraphysical realities that are beyond the grasp of the senses, based on principles other than those that govern gross matter. Therefore, it is not justifiable to reject them as "false positives". For a spiritualist, consciousness is the unifying factor in the universe, which Sri Aurobindo calls "the universal witness for whom the world is a field", while "the senses are [its] mere instruments". The spiritualist considers the material universe as unreal.

What are the consequences of these two streams of beliefs? Both are seriously flawed, according to Sri Aurobindo. A mixture of matter and consciousness gives a meaningful functionality. If we adopt a purely materialistic view, Sri Aurobido says we arrive at a mâyâ "that is [present] and yet is not [present]". We see the physical aspects of the universe and so mâyâ is present and compelling, leading us to believe what we see is the only reality. Yet, mâyâ "is not", because it is transitory. Transformation is the principle of the universe. On the other hand, the refusal of material existence leads, in Sri Aurobindo's view, to the development of ego and the purposelessness of the human existence.

In the modern times, the conflict between science and spirituality has further deepened. They have become two separate streams in practice. Both are in a muddled state of affairs and each falsely believes to be complete in its own right. As a result the worldview has become fragmented and has led to manifold problems, a view endorsed by modern thinkers. Eminent physicist David Bohm explains this extremely well in his book Wholeness and the Implicate Order. He says that everything is treated as separate, rather than as a part of "something bigger and wider"; thus we have separate religions, separate sciences, separate subjects, separate nations, separate societies, separate families etc. And how does this view act as a precursor to problems? Bohm provides a simple answer:

"The notion that all these fragments are separately existent is evidently an illusion, and this illusion cannot do other than lead to endless conflict and confusion. Indeed, the attempt to live according to the notion that the fragments are really separate is, in essence, what has led to the growing series of extremely urgent crises that is confronting us today. Thus, as is now well known, this way of life has brought about pollution, destruction of the balance of nature, over-population, world-wide economic and political disorder, and the creation of an overall environment that is neither physically nor mentally healthy for most of the people to live in."4

In his best-selling book The Tao of Physics, physicist Fritjof Capra says:

"Our tendency to divide the perceived world into individual and separate things and to experience ourselves as isolated egos in this world is seen as an illusion [in the East] which comes from our measuring and categorising mentality."5

Mankind has enormously suffered this conflict between science and spirituality. A person cannot ride a bicycle if one of its wheels is missing. Time has now come for both science and spirituality to widen their thinking horizons and realise the importance of their alliance, since the future of mankind rests on their combined insight and wisdom. How could this be achieved? Sri Aurobindo provides an answer. He says:

"Only by an extension of the field of our consciousness or an unhoped-for increase in our instruments of knowledge can this ancient quarrel be decided."6

One of the aims of the "Yug Nirman mission" is to integrate science and spirituality, which is being attempted at its research wing, Brahmavarchas Research Centre at Haridwar (India). The results of experiments on this front show that spirituality has a sound scientific basis and spiritual principles practiced in daily life yield extraordinary benefits. Further research on this theme will be carried out at the newly founded Dev Sanskrati Vishwavidyalaya (Divine Culture University)7at Hardwar.
