Reincarnation, which means rebirth of the soul or self in a series of
physical or preternatural embodiments such as human being, animal,
plant or divine, angelic and demonic embodiments, is a fundamental
doctrine in some Asian religions. Though it has been stated that this
idea could be originated in primitive religions, in Indian religions it is
an essential doctrine directly connected with two basic beliefs namely
karma and samsāra. For Hindus the process of rebirth is endless, but it
can be ceased by true liberation or mokśa. The development of the
concept of reincarnation is traceable through the Hindu Scriptures such
as Vedas, Brāhmanas, Upanisads and bhagavadgītā, which is a part of
the great Indian epic Mhābhārata. Scholars put forward different
theories about the origin of the Hindu doctrine of reincarnation, so
much so that they recognized it as a non-Indian idea; however
eventually they reached to a consensus: the belief stems from Indian
indigenous cults.
