Many lives Many Masters

“As after rejecting (discarding) worn out clothes a man takes up other new ones (clothes), likewise after rejecting worn out bodies the embodied one (soul) duly attains new ones.”
- From the Bhagavad Gita Ch.2 Verse 22

‘Many Lives, Many Masters’ is a book written by Dr Brian Weiss. It is a true story involving his young patient and the past life therapy that changed both their lives.

The book narrates his experience about dealing with his young patient Catherine, who was in her late 20’s and was suffering from a number of severe phobias. She feared water, feared airplanes, feared the dark and was terrified of dying too. She also suffered some hours of insomnia before being able to fall asleep. Nightmares and sleepwalking were also intensifying her stress levels. All these symptoms made her fear more and more leading to depression.

Catherine had been an active guest at the author’s hospital. After trying all the various techniques to bring Catherine out of her depression, her condition did not improve. Moreover, it eventually aggravated.

Later on, she agreed to try hypnosis which changed her life forever. At a deep level of relaxation, Dr Weiss began to regress her by asking her to recall the memories of the past. The book explains how easily she remembered the terrifying experience at age five, when she was pushed from a diving board into a pool.

The memories did not help her in the process. They made her more unstable and stressful, opposite of what Dr Brian Weiss had hoped. On a certain day, during regression, Catherine was asked to go back to the time from where her symptoms arose and that’s when she went into past life and spoke something di_cult for the author to digest or even think of.

She went some 3,000 years back in one of her many past lives. She detailed each and every sentiment and situation existing over that moment. Dr Weiss never believed her but his clinical mind told that she was not fantasizing the observation, nor had she made this up. She did not have multiple or split personalities as well. The way the details are provided in the book, it is really hard to deny that the facts provided here cannot be untrue.

With the series of sessions, Catherine not only understood the gravity of her problems but also came to know the source. For instance, in her real life she was not good in relationships, which was eventually because of hatred grown towards men in one of her many previous lives. Not only did it help Catherine in her life but during those sessions she also spoke as a master to Dr Weiss, giving him information about his son’s death, thereby guiding him to forgive people, himself and live a better life.

Although it all sounds too irrational and unscientific, it is indeed a true story. Whatever your views on reincarnation, ‘Many Lives, Many Masters’ will cause you to pause for thought. Even the most hardened disbeliever will find himself or herself asking the question, have I been here before?

Many Lives, Many Masters, as the name suggests emphasizes that we all go through various lifetimes and we are out here in this world with a purpose and to learn a lesson.
I highly recommend this book for those who have been experiencing thoughts, feelings, dreams or visions that may be relating to past lives. If you have been wondering or feeling that you have been here before, indeed you have. Through the past life regression therapy, Weiss learns that we indeed have many lives before this one and that sometimes, we carry memories with us from lifetime to lifetime.

Many Lives, Many Masters makes for an unstoppable read and, like Dr Weiss, we too realize that “life is more than meets the eye and goes beyond our _ve senses.” Be receptive to new knowledge and to new experiences. Our task is to learn, to become God-like through knowledge.

What an IDEA Sirji!!!

We all are talking about the new Ad campaign which was launched by IDEA using their brand ambassador “Abhishek Bachan”, who is playing a role of an anguished “TREE”. The man behind the campaign Mr. Pradeep Shrivastava says that environment is a subject which touches all, but get attention only at strategic forums. The common man get very little to contribute, due to lack of direction and idea. Hence, he says that they have taken the responsibility of educating the masses in the country, to save paper by using more of mobile phones and helping the planet remain green.

This is one of the best and the most exemplary Ads ever made, not just speaking about the brand and its product but the idea of saving our mother earth and showing signs of corporate social responsibility.

Not all of them had strived hard to make one of the Ads like this. But this will definitely create a benchmark and leave a mark on the crowd to use paper more cautiously . Idea with this campaign plans to launch a variety of value added services which will help its customers access more information and utility services on their mobile phones.

Innovation was the second thing which was seen in this Ad. What one cell phone and one mobile operator can provide can only explain the future and attractiveness of the telecom sector. Thanks to technology, we would not be surprised to use our cell phones for the same in the future as shown in the Ad. This Ad has forcasted the future outlook of telecom sector and its importance through this Ad.

This campaign also expounds the underlying need of saving the environment. We cannot comment much on the role played by Idea but all what is ascertained is the fact that companies are playing their role towards being responsible in creating awareness and educating people. Its for their own good or for the environment who knows but the fact that somebody has come up and stood against deforestation. Rather than just concentrating on the USP of their own product, they have effectively contributed towards the welfare of the society.

We urge other corporate to think socially and ethically to contribute for the same and grow as an educated and responsible citizens.
