"Sanya told me that my uncle behaves as if he is the best person on earth, being very considerate, talking with all sweetness etc but still she recommended to me to be very careful as he is no good."With these words, Tania finished the narration about her dream to her paternal grandparents.
Both of them looked at each other than at Tania. They seemed to exchanging messages telepathically it seemed.
"Is anything amiss?"She inquired..
"We knew that there was something when we saw all the books about past life regression in your library," her Dada ji responded while pushing a lock of white hair that had fallen across his forehead.
"You see, at the airport, I recognized this uncle of yours. I have met him in my earlier life."
"As in your case, I had been reminded about him through a voice, while I was in meditation."
"I did not take it seriously but then, I started experience déjà vu when I visited a few places in Rajasthan. This was when your father had come to Moscow to study medicine."
"We had wanted your father to study in India but he was adamant. Anyway, our destiny takes us to where we have been ordained to go to."
"If he had not come to Moscow, he would not have met your mother and we would not be standing before you, their daughter and our granddaughter. In actual fact, we would not have an opportunity to visit Moscow."
"Our only regret, is that this could have been earlier when our son and daughter in law were alive," added her Dadi ji sadly.
"Yes true, destiny ordains many things and they happen in a particular sequence." Replied her Dada ji.
"Let me enhance your knowledge about your father"s religion."
"There is no religion called Hinduism. Hinduism is a way of life."
"It is a name given to the people who practised "Sanātana Dharma"(the eternal tradition). It is the oldest religion in the world, and some pract.i.tioners and scholars refer to it as, or the "eternal way", it is beyond human history."
" It is the third most popular religion, with around 750 million followers. Hinduism originated in Northern India, near the river Indus, about 4000 years ago and is the world"s oldest existing religion. More than 80% of India"s population who follow Hinduism."
"Unlike other religions, Hinduism has no one founder but is instead blends various beliefs."
"Around 1500 B.C., the Indo-Aryan people migrated to the Indus Valley, and their language and culture blended with that of the indigenous people living in the region. Its authority rests instead upon a large body of sacred texts that give Hindus rules, governing rituals, worship, pilgrimage, and daily activities, among many other things."
"Unlike other religions in the World, the Hindu religion does not claim any one Prophet, it does not worship any one G.o.d, it does not believe in any one philosophic concept, it does not follow any one-act of religious rites or performances; in fact, it does not satisfy the traditional features of a religion or creed."
"You can follow any creed and follow any path. All roads lead to G.o.d."
"Now Karma is a word meaning the result of a person"s actions as well as the actions themselves. It is a term about the cycle of cause and effect. According to the theory of Karma, what happens to a person, happens because they caused it with their actions."
""It is like the Bible says, "as you sow you shall reap". If you suffer in this life, even though you have been a good person, it means you are suffering the reactions of sins committed in a previous life."
"The 12 Laws of Karma that everyone should know are - As you sow, so shall you reap. To receive happiness, peace, love, and friendship, one must Be happy, peaceful, loving, and a true friend. Whatever one puts out into the Universe will come back to them."
"It is because of Karma that we undergo many lives till we reach human form, By we, I mean our souls."
"The human form is for us to rise above mundane/ materialistic things and move towards spirituality by recognizing who we are. We need to forgive and forget. Even forgive ourselves."
"If we get engrossed in the give and take, the issue of a debtor and lender. The giver and debtor have to come back life after life to clear their dues with interest. This is called the law of Karma."
Tania noticed that her Dadi ji was staring at her husband with anger in her eyes. Dada ji seemed to have noticed that look too and smiled.
"Sorry Bacche (Child), I got carried away. After all, people call me Pandit ji in our home town. So, when I get an opportunity, I start giving a lecture."
"Now, where were we before this lecture?" he pondered aloud.
"I think déjà vu in Rajasthan," said Dadi ji with a laugh.
"You do get carried away and why are you preaching to the child?"
"She has become confused with lots of thoughts going on in her mind in addition to the recurring dreams and now meeting her previous self in a dream."
"She does not need lectures on religion at the moment. Just tell her what is going on."
"Ok, Madam ji, understood." replied her Dada ji looking at his wife as if she had reprimanded a child who was being naughty.
"Tania, this girl, this princess, who has come in your dream is you yourself."
"When a person sleeps, his/her subconscious level is awake. Stored in the subconcious mind are your past memories of previous lives, which do awaken in some people. When these memories are awakened, it means there is impending danger ahead."
Your subconscious level has pulled out this memory and presented it to you in a dream like sequence."
"The danger is definitely linked to a past life. You only became aware of one past life. Who knows this danger was there in other past lives also?"
"My advise to you is that please do not go to Ukraine under any circ.u.mstances for the present. Please visit India first and the place where Sanya had lived."
"We will carry on this conversation later on as it is time for tea for everyone," added her Dadi ji. "Come let us both proceed to the kitchen. I will make the tea, you call down your Nani ji and your Mama ji."
"Your Nani ji is a nice lady."
