The Mind-Blowing Reincarnation Case of Swarnlata Mishra: the Girl Who Sang in a Language from a Past Life
THE REINCARNATION CASE OF SWARNLATA MISHRA IS THE TRUE STORY OF A GIRL WHO REMEMBERED AT LEAST 50 VERIFIABLE DETAILS OF HER PAST LIFE.
What if your 3yo claimed to remember a past life? You might just write it off as a vivid imagination. But what if she could give you directions to her previous house which was over a hundred miles away? Oh, and she could accurately name and recognize over 20 people she’d never met in this lifetime. She even knew a secret that only existed between a man and his deceased wife.
What if your child could sing more than one song in a language you never taught her — because you yourself don’t speak that language? This is the true story of Swarnlata Mishra’s reincarnation case as documented by the well-known scientist and researcher Ian Stevenson, M.D.
A 3-Year-Old Starts Talking about Her “Other Family”
Swarnlata Mishra first began talking about her past life in the early 1950s, when she was only 3 years old. Her spontaneous memory included more than one witness, and the evidence only got more interesting from there.
Her father had brought her along with him on a trip to a city that was nearly 200 miles south of their home. On the way back, around the halfway mark, Swarnlata suddenly pointed to a road and asked the driver to take them to “my house.”
The driver didn’t take that road, but Swarnlata didn’t drop the subject. When the group stopped in that same town to have tea, she admonished them by saying they could have much better tea at “her” house which was nearby.
Her father thought the experience was curious but didn’t take it too seriously. She was barely more than a toddler, after all. He was chagrined to learn that once they were back home, she continued to talk about her past life in more detail with her current siblings. She even gave them the last name of her previous family — Pathak.
