Punarjanma (Reincarnation): A Bird Eye View

Abstract

Punarjanma (Reincarnation) is an interesting topic which evokes the curiousity of the researchers to explore the hidden truth behind this concept. The Karya Karana Siddhantha (cause -effect theory) has its limitation in certain diseases in which karana (cause) is not possible to elicit. There comes the role of the invisible factor termed Daiva (fate/predetermined) which is an outcome of one's past life deeds. The concept of Jatismara (claimed memories of previous life) clearly substantiates the truth behind Punarjanma and thus it opened a new doorstep in Reincarnation researches. A better understanding of the concept of Punarjanma in relation to Daiva Siddhantha in turn holds the potential of Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa (spiritual therapy/divine therapy) in those diseases in which Karana is Adrushta (invisible).

A Computational Study of Anticancer Activity of Curcumin Derivatives Using in silico Drug Designing and Molecular Docking Tools

“…The protein with PDB ID-5C5A was docked with the ligands and the standard drug, megestrol acetate. The results showed that the protein has considerable interaction with the ligands as tabulated in Table-8. The interpretation of result clearly confirms that ligands α-elemene, (-) γ-elemene, ar-turmerone, (-) β-elemene, demethoxycurcumin, ar-turmerone, bisdemethoxycurcumin showed considerably good docking results, except curcubitacin E. All the ligands were docked with the protein selected and compared to the standard drug, megestrol acetate by its docking score [23].…”

Punarjanma (Reincarnation): A Bird Eye View

“…It includes the adoption of Yajna and homa (fire sacrifices), pooja (worship), Japa (enchanting), manidharana (wearing rings and beads, teing threads etc after worshipping), Upavasa (fasting), Prayaschitta (confessing) etc. 19 This considers the Karmic causes of diseases and their mitigation by means of spiritual alternatives. Thus Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa forms a key aspect in Ayurvedic treatment principles especially in Purvajanmakruta Karmaja Vyadhis (diseases resulting from past life deeds).…”
