Reincarnation

This is a topic that has always facinated me. My upbringing has a lot to do with it.having been born and brought up in India.As a hindu,I believe in Karma and rebirth.The Bagwat gita(song divine) explains the effect of karma and rebirth at length.In chapter 2 verse 22,Lord Krishna tells Arjuna..men cast off worn-out garmentsand put on new ones.same way the soul casts off worn-out bodies and enters into new bodies. One may not remember his/her past lives. but many a times I have gone to a new place and felt that I have known the place. Sometimes i may meet a person and wonder if I know him/her.I am certain that many people would have experienced this. what about various phobias some of us have....are these from our past life experiences? something to ponder........wellll
