The reality of reincarnation is often reinforced when the individual is a child and appears to come pre-programmed almost, with a former identity. A carry-over from a previous life, sometimes in minute detail when it comes to trivialities but all too often curiously lacking in the important information we would expect an individual to recall.
FS presents this brief case, written by Suranga Ratnayaka, of Sri Lanka. It's curious that this island and its neighbor India, have both produced their fair share of children who have fascinating tales to tell about what appears to have been a life once lived before.
A child, who talks about his previous
birth, has been born at Rajaela near Ulapane in Gampola by the
name of Kolitha Nishantha Medagedara..
Srimathie
Dissanayake is four-year-old Nishantha's mother.
" My
son often talks about things we are totally unfamiliar with
and sometimes does things alien to us. He wants us to take him
to Ambewela to show where he worked and to bring milk powder
that he made.
" I am sure he is referring to the
Ambewella Milk factory. We are longing to go and verify this
story but we are not in a position to undertake the journey
due to financial constraints," Srimathie said.
Kolitha's Montessori teacher Ira Bombuwela has also
heard Kolitha talk about his previous birth.
" From
morning he tells about the Milk factory at Ambewela and his
work there. He says that he had a white car, a white hat and
also a bunch of keys. Sometimes he would bring an empty milk
powder packet and says that he made it and tells me not to cut
it. He says that one Mr. Suranga and he distributed milk food
countrywide. He often wants me to go with him to his house at
Ambewela.
" One day he said that he left that place
when his house was burgled and their clothes and other
articles taken away. Sometimes he says that he made milk food
and distributed them country wide.
He has also invited
his montessori school mates to Ambewela.
During our
conversation with the child, he replied to our questions
without any hesitation.
" Where are your father and
mother now ?
" They also worked with me at the same
place. My grandfather and brother are still there."
"
Where do you prefer to live?"
" We will go to
Ambewela. You also come with us. The gate key is on the upper
shelf of the cupboard. I know all of them well. I can open the
gate. "
The parents want to verify the truth of this
story but they are not in a position to spend for it due to
unsound household economy.
