When Lal Bahadur Shastri was the Prime Minister and Dr. Radhakrishnan was the President of India, the following incident took place in the Rashtrapati Bhawan. A Five year old Brahmin boy eloquently recited many Vedic verses and lessons in front of a jampacked audience. He had in memory the entire Vedas. All the scholars and Pandits, present there were astonished and simultaneously quite pleased with the boy. They were forced to agree that the boy recited the Vedas better than themselves. The small boy did not know how to write and his speech too was not fluent, but still he was able to recite the Vedas profoundly. The boy was able to do so due to the Samskaras' of his previous birth. This incident proves the eternity of the soul and also the theory of reincarnation is proved.
Another such incident which took place in Maharashtra is worth mentioning. Near Kolhapure, in Ichalkaranti, lived a Jaina. householder by name Shri Roopchand, he was educated and quite intellegent and was the Director of the Sangli Bank. He once constructed a new Bunglow for his family to live in. When the family locked the house and went out, the house was set fire on many occassions and many valuable articles got burnt. A resident of Nipani, D.C.Shah, told me about the incident and said that the Bunglow is haunted by some evil spirit and asked me to do something for the people living there.
Though I had not encountered anything of this kind, I went to the palatial bunglow and saw the things that were damaged and burnt, though none of the residents suffered from any injury. They could not vacate the house, because then no one would come forward to buy the beautiful house and hence they continued staying there.
