Born Again

Before leaving Dinesh Sharma asked his wife to keep an eye on Igor as he had done last time.

"Don"t worry," replied Mira.

"I will drive you just be my navigator," Dada ji said.

Dada ji you have been used to driving on the left side but here, we drive on the right side as you have seen earlier."

"Most of the former British colonies still drive on the left hand side of the road. Like India, Australia, the Caribbean, South Africa. j.a.pan also drives on the left. The rest of the world drive on the right side like the USA, China and Russia. Tania was a bit skeptical about his driving ability that too on Russian right side drive.

"Ok, Dada ji, you can drive till the end of the block. When we reach the main road, you will relinquish the steering wheel and move over to the copilot seat. I will pilot my car from here onwards." Tania responded with a laugh.

"Ok Ok, Message received and understood. You do not trust me with your car." I will move to the co pa.s.sender seat."

"Why do you call it the copilot seat and you think your car is a plane?"

Tania, "Why not? I can call my car a plane and be its pilot. I think I would have made a good pilot if I did not have an interest in History."

"Yes, I think so too, you drive well. I did not say so earlier."

Dada ji struggled but managed the gears even thought they were on the wrong side for him. However, he had no problem with the accelerator, break and the clutch as their placement was the same as on the cars in India.

"Dada ji, you are also managing well, but I will take over when we turn onto the main road."

Upon turning onto the main road, Dada ji stopped the car. The grandfather and the granddaughter changed places and now Tania was on the driver"s seat.Soon they were off.

They reached Dr. Viktor Demetrius within an hour and after parking the car, they went to the office of the Doctor"s clinic.

Dr. Viktor Demetrius was free today. There was no patient. It seems he was waiting for them.

"Namaste, Good afternoon Sir. How are you feeling Tania? I think you are not having any more frightening dreams since your sessions?" He said.

"No Sir."

As last time have a look at your chart to see if anything more needs to be added."

Since the information on the chart was basically a back up of the recording made by the Doctor, there was nothing more to be added. Even then Tania and her Dada ji went through it.

Since they knew the procedure please, both went into the hyponitism room to get ready. Tania knew the the drill and drank a gla.s.s of water as well as used the washroom since the session would take 2-3 hours.

They both occupied their respective positions.

Within a few minutes the Doctor came and started to place her in the first stage of trance by suggestions that she was relaxing her body and mind. He started the relaxation slowly, from her toes to her heels and ankles then the lower limbs then the torso, the upper limbs, the neck and the head as well as the various organs of the body.

As was done in the previous sessions, he checked the movement of her eyes. He took her through the first stage of fluttering of the eyelids, to the next stage into the deep trance where the eyes were moving side to side and then to the deepest trance state characterized by rolling upwards of her eyes. Now he could give suggestions.

He asked her present name and her age as well as where she was at present.

Tania gave the same replies as she had given in the earlier sessions.

She told him the same facts that occured when she was in her mother"s womb. She then told him about her previous life as Saroj Verma a medical student and Intern who was murdered in 1978.

The murder was committed by a professor who did not like her for a flimsy reason that she was more intelligent than his daughter in the medical college and was proving to be a competent Intern in the hospital whereas his daughter was a work shirker. He himself had died after being hit by a speeding vehicle.

She also informed that she was born again in 1981 and her name was Anastasia. She lived with her parents on a farm in a village near Kiev in Ukraine. The name of the village started with the letter "K". She died along with her parents in a fire due to a short circuit. People thought it was done by the neighbours as there was enemity between her father and the neighbour regarding land. The neighbours had the surname as Gagarin.

She further described the old man as mean, but his wife was OK. Their son Fedor and his wife Nikita were nice and recently married.

"Can you remember anything else?" He asked.

"Yes, Nikita would call me and give me sweets and cakes that she would bake. But the old man would get to know and would chase me away."

"I want you to go further back to when you about 5 years old. Did you have any experience with the neighbours?" the Doctor asked.

"Yes, the old man chased me out of his house with a stick saying we were thieves and were stealing his crops."

"I did ask my father, he said the old man was always picking fights with our family."

" My father told me to avoid this family. The old man would let his goats and cows into our land to eat up our crops."

"I can"t remember his name."

"We will find out his name. I want you to go further back when you were a baby. Anything you can remember?"

"Yes, I am on a ship sailing to India."

"I am a botanist, on my way to India, to study the rich herbal plants which can be used to make alternative medicines. These plants grow in the himalayas."
