According to the Hindu religious scriptures, the soul is indestructible and it merely changes its form or body the way a human being changes his clothes after they have outlived their useful years. Christianity has a very different viewpoint of reincarnation, focusing on Christ's resurrection instead. According to the theories of Hindus a person's birth is totally dependent upon the karma or deeds he has performed in his previous life. Based on his deeds he will face rebirth in the future as a man, woman, or even an animal.
