5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing religious/scientific approach to reincarnation, October 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Coming Back (Contemporary Vedic Library Ser) (Paperback)

I have read many books on reincarnation throughout my life. This is a relatively small book and I was not very impressed with its appearance at my first glance. As I kept reading it, I am became deeply involved. It is impressive the way the author presents the subject of reincarnation in such a scientific manner with touches of religious belief, and with so many logical examples.

I agree with the previous comments. This is a fascinating book. I couldn't put it down; walked with it wherever I knew I would have free time, just so I could learn more about the secrets of reincarnation as believed and taught by Bhaktivedanta. I found this book just sitting on my dad's bookshelf, just waiting to be read. It was originally published in 1982, when I was four years old. Now, it's the year 2008 and the language, concepts, fundamentals of this book still hold true to this day. In other words, he has presented his theory in a non-temporizing way similar to the Bible, so that despite what decade you read this book, you will still be able to understand and/or relate to his message(s). It's also small (pocket size, ~130 pages) and has drawings and color pictures that relate to passages in the book. In addition, at the end of the book, he has provided a glossary, a listing of his other published works, and a listing of ISKON (I guess, Hare Krishna) centers around the world. All-in-all, this book makes for a good and interesting read because Bhaktivedanta's theory on reincarnation is just as feasible as the theories about the miracles of Jesus Christ. Theologically, anything is possible. It's just a matter of whether or not you actually believe it.
