Dear Prabhakar,

Sri Madhavakkannan (whom I know from Singapore!) and Sri Sukumar have given 
some excellent explanations.

Wrt the question, "Then my christian friend asked me do you know about 
Re-incarnation ?", one of my friends gave an interesting explanation.

If you send a fax, you can get a confirmation for the receipt of the fax by 
ringing the receiving person and cross-checking. In database and other 
Information technology (computer science, etc) areas, there are well defined 
protocols for verification and validation (typically called, handshaking, 
commit-protocols, etc). Obviously this friend of mine is an IT guy. However, 
it does not answer the query. He then elaborated as follows:

You have different sensors and media for communication, verification, etc. 
One cannot see a fax being sent, so one uses a different channel for 
verification. One cannot see microwaves, but rice cooks well in microwave 
oven also and one feels this through different sensors. The truth about 
re-incarnation will be felt only by those who have these types of sensors 
(read, knowledge, wisdom and the Lord's grace). For example, Bhisma knew 
long time back who Karna was. The hunter who sent the arrow at Lord 
Krishna's toe did not know who he was, until Krishna Himself told him (that 
he is the re-incarnation of Vali from Ramayana period). It is said that 
Thyagaraja (of the sankeertha mummoorthy) is a re-incarnation of Valmiki 
(and people say that he knew that himself, while he was alive).  Indeed, 
even during the Mahabharata war, Arjuna wanted to see Krishna in His full 
form - i.e., Vishwaroopa darsanam. With his human eyes, Arjuna cannot see 
Vishwaroopa darsanam. So the Lord gave him a special visualization mechanism 
to see Him. (Hum, this also perhaps encourages us to do eye or organ 
donation!).

Does this answer your query Prabhakar?
