It’s a unique new TV show whose format is sure to be bought up worldwide. In NDTV Imagine’s Raaz Pechle Janam Ka celebrities and others will be hypnotised and sent back to explore their past and perhaps even their previous lives on-air. One of the first volunteers is Bollywood star Sushmita Sen. “Sush will be the first guest on the show as she talks about her pechle janam to Ravi,” says a source for the programme, “The shooting of the same will start on 28 of this month.”
Sushmita has confirmed she will be walking the ramp with Salman Khan and her daughter Renee on October 24th at the Wills Lifestyle Fashion Week in Delhi. The show will also feature the Mayor of Agra Angela Singh Mahaur and her two daughters. Sush showed support for Salman at the recent HDIL Couture Week which he used to promote his Being Human Foundation. She hopes to start her own foundation soon. "I'm actually working on a charity organization of my own,” she confirms, “I haven't started it yet, but I really am looking forward to it. Children are a cause very close to my heart."
Sush was most recently on screen in David Dhawan’s slightly tired looking Govinda comedy Do Knot Disturb which also starred Lara Dutta and Riteish Deshmukh and her next showing is likely to be with Kangana Ranaut in No Problem.
I felt like writing although normally people don�t like writings from guys like me - as I am not well read, highly accomplished, variedly experienced or a celebrity or the like - but I experienced some strange and mysterious things in life, which, may be, very unfortunate people can only have the privilege of having. So I write.
According to me the definition of good fortune is: one who enjoys good health, has the physical and mental capabilities of achieving his goals, has good appearance, has happiness in mind and is not prone to accidents�I think such a person can be called a fortunate person. Whether anyone believes me or not, I have learnt from this life that everyone is born with a balance of fortune or misfortune. I understood that sum total of a man�s personality and life, depends upon three factors: one: GENETIC FACTOR, two: ENVIRONMENT FACTOR and three: HARDWORK FACTOR. And all these three factors are not in one�s hand. One cannot take birth with good genetic qualities of one�s choice. One cannot as a child arrange a good environment for himself. He lives where he is born, in his family and goes to the school where his parents put him into and plays with such kids who are available. Ability to work hard also depends upon his genetic qualities and environments like his aptitude, attitude, health, nutrition, and motivation and may be many other factors. But all such factors are not his choice but he has to live with them as �chance� grants him. So this chance is luck or fortune and some are fortunate and some are not fortunate.
So the question is why some are fortunate and some are not. What can be done to become fortunate�I have found the answer and so I write?
I was born with very bad health. I suffered from congenital nystagmus, due to which I never enjoyed a normal vision. I suffered from hormonal misbalance in brain. Hormone called serotonin remained in abnormally lesser quantity in my brain due to which I suffered from acute lack of mental concentration, lethargy, lack of memory and also from chronic depression. My parents were refugees and not quite educated. My dad worked as a soldier in the Indian Air Force and earned a meager salary. My normal body resistance was also poor and I constantly suffered from various kinds of infections. Hence could not do well in studies, games or in any other social activities, as the diseases I suffered from had no cure. So I call myself unfortunate. Because I felt I was unfortunate, I always searched answer to the question why is somebody is fortunate and why is somebody not?
My search went on. I even meditated for hours everyday and searched within to get the answer. After more than 34 years of search, I got some answers and so I write�
I started getting some answers�
Reading was almost impossible for me. With eye problem � congenital nystagmus � it was very slow and after sometime painful. And with hormonal misbalance of serotonin, mental concentration, retention and understanding were horrible. Also I was troubled by unknown memories which gave me visions of war, mainly 2nd world war and many strange scenes of alien countries which remained unexplained for ever. I was shown to a few doctors for my eye problem but they could not be of any help. So I was an utter failure in all the activities of life. Life was miserable. No one knew how I could be helped. My parents were not religious. My father did not practice any religious norms regularly and my mother merely carried out routine worships that she had learnt from her parents. But somehow I came to know that there is something called God who is all-powerful and can help anyone. So not knowing what I was doing, I started praying fervently everyday for months and months. One day while meditating I got a clue that if I start running in the morning everyday then my condition would improve. Somehow I shook my lethargy and got up in the morning next day and went for running. I kept running for next few days in the morning. One day, strangely I felt better, mentally and physically and I found I was able to understand so many simple things, which were riddles earlier. I was feeling free from lethargy. I was able speak with confidence and was cheerful in mind. Depression was gone. During this time reading was much easier as I was able to understand quite a few things. But my nystagmus of eyes remained. But prayer and meditation became a part of my daily life. I also tried to do running and exercise regularly. Within a week I found with distress that my mental and physical condition that had magically improved once again became what it was. Again depression, poor understanding, no concentration, lethargy and all that. It was then I understood that I am having some physical illness that needs medical attention. Strangely after a week or so, again I started feeling fine, no depression, no problems of concentration or understanding etc. I was around 20 years of age at that time. I consulted a doctor who listened patiently and told me that it was all a psychological problem and I must change my thinking habits. He also prescribed some pills, which did not work. So I continued my running and exercise, prayers and meditation. Days passed by and I used to feel fine for a week of so and remained unwell for another week or so. During the time I felt fine, I tried to study and do as many things a possible because of available mental and physical efficiency. But prayers and meditation became a regular habit.
I started learning languages better and was also able learn bit of math. I started reading magazines and newspaper as well. The overall quality of my personality improved quite a bit. It was then someday I was clearly able to feel that there exists an eternal power which people call God, who is all powerful, friendly and wants to help the world. So my habit of prayer and meditation became more and more intense. And I started getting more and more clues and answers�
I got number of clues and answers and one of the most interesting clues that I got was that the mind is not the function of brain. Memory, intelligence, knowledge and attitude are not in brain. But they exist forever in an intangible form within an intangible being which may be called soul. It is an amazing storage system, which cannot be burnt, stolen, corrupted, infected with virus, pirated or crashed and it has unlimited storage space and serves for infinite time. Probably God collects data from all the souls. Soul is not a matter or energy. It cannot be touched, weighed or destroyed. It cannot be contained. A soul remains in contact with a body so long as the body remains alive. When body becomes unfit to remain alive the soul departs it and again comes in contact with a new body. Human brain only reads and reflects the soul to the extent it is normally capable of. Soul contains vast database of information. Soul has all the information; knowledge and wisdom of all the bodies it has been in contact with in the past with cent percent completeness and accuracy. But the body that is in contact with it now, can normally retrieve only the information that has been stored during the time this body remained in contact with the soul. Memory and wisdom does not lie in cerebrum or cerebellum or in the central nervous system as normally believed. In extraordinary cases soul is capable of networking with other souls and can also retrieve or read data from other souls. Not necessary that soul always contacts a human body only. It contacts all kinds of living beings. Only specialty of a soul, when it is in contact with a human body is, it enjoys some independence and liberty of action. Animals and other non-human living beings do not have that privilege. They are simply programmed in their respective DNAs and their life cycle materializes as programmed. In human beings, with the power of will, the programmed life cycle can be altered to some extent. So the human activities are not pre determined and options are available for choosing a better activity to some extent.
Each soul goes through evolution process. Some souls are superior in quality of intelligence than others. Soul when departs a body, carries with it all the experience of the body and when contacts a new body, that new body although cannot have access to all the experiences of the soul which it had in its contact with the previous body/bodies, but unconsciously, however, the knowledge that soul has accumulated in its previous contacts manifests through the new body. The great scientists, inventors, prodigious children and philosophers are examples as they are superior species of evolution.
Soul is very possessive about the body it is in contact with and remains with it as long as achievable. But when the body is no longer fit to live, the soul departs to find a new body as per it qualifies to deserve. After departing a human body, if the soul does not deserve a human body, it has to contact a non-human body like that of an animal or may be even reptile. These are all cycles of fortune and misfortune. It is after millions of reincarnations, a soul finds a human body, which gives it the independence and liberty of choosing activities in life. A soul during its contact with a human body, if attains perfection in its purity, it does not require to reincarnate. This soul then mingles with the eternal soul � the Almighty � forever. Further, soul not only carries the memory and experience of previous lives forever, but also carries the balance of fortune it has earned or lost during lifetime. Negative balance of fortune, if carried over, the new life would be full of misery. One can develop negative balance in one�s lifetime as well, although he may have been born with a positive balance of fortune if he exhausts his balance by bad deeds. In that case he would start suffering misfortune in that life itself.
Whatever I have realized about soul and mentioned above cannot be proved scientifically but I beg to challenge any scientist or physician or a rationalist to prove otherwise.
I also got the clue as to what fortune and misfortune are. Every human being is born with a credit or debit balance of fortune. Anyone who is born with a massive credit balance of fortune enjoys life tremendously. That person is blessed with very good health, good looks and lots of wealth, mental and physical abilities to achieve his goals and enjoys happiness of mind and is not prone to accidents. A person born with massive debit balance of fortune, suffers ill health, is poverty stricken is mentally and physically incapable of achieving his goals in life, does not have happiness in mind and is prone to accidents. It is something like this. The soul carries with it the credit or debit balances of fortune like memory and experience. Credit balance of fortune can be increased during one�s life and can be wasted as well.
However, a person can endeavour to increase his credit balance of fortune.
I felt like writing although normally people don�t like writings from guys like me - as I am not well read, highly accomplished, variedly experienced or a celebrity or the like - but I experienced some strange and mysterious things in life, which, may be, very unfortunate people can only have the privilege of having.
