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.

4. Several scriptures and the Hindu religion talk
about past lives reincarnation extensively.
Notably, a major one of these is the Bhrigu
Sanhit, which apparently had an accounting of
the future and past lives for all living souls. This
scripture has been lost over the
centuries, however.

5. The most important modern day account of
rebirth is the collection of data by Dr, Ian
Stevenson. Modern science still frowns on these
claims of rebirth. Thus it cannot be stated that it
is the most well accepted source of scientific
information based on the theory; but still now it
is the most popular and well documented
because Dr. Stevenson was a psychiatrist along
with a degree in medicine.

6. Dr. Stevenson didn't put his patients under trance
or induce hypnosis, as many past life regression
therapists now do. Instead, he simply talked to
children who had spontaneous recollections of
incidents that had happened in their past lives.
Most noted and perplexing among these cases
was that of a small child, a boy, six years old,
from a small village in Punjab. This child claimed
that he had been a man named Satnam Singh.

7. This young boy had never been to what he said
was the man's home village of Chakkchela and
had never lived there, even though he could
describe the place with amazing.

8. The family was nonplussed by this, and tried to
dissuade the boy from saying such things, but
the boy continued to insist that he was Satnam
and even told people what the man's father's
name had been. The boy described his death by
saying that he had been killed in a motorcycle
accident as he was coming home from school.

9. Later investigations revealed that these facts
were infact true. Someone called Satnam Singh
had lived in that village. The manner of his
death was also exactly as he had described it.
But the most surprising event came when the
boy’s handwriting matched that of Satnam
singh.

10. Another popular account from Stevenson's
collection about past lives reincarnation came
from a young girl named Swarnalata. This little
girl was just three years old, but
nonetheless, she could recall her life as a young
woman named Biya Pathak very vividly.
http://www.past-lives-regression.com
11. She could vividly described the house that she
lived in. In fact, when she and her father were
traveling one day, she led her father directly to
the property and even said that she had lived
in the area; further, she said that they could get
a better cup of tea in that house than they
could on the road.
http://www.past-lives-regression.com
12. The most vital point came when the child
recognized Biya's brother and called him by his
pet name from a crowd of 9 people.
There are dozens of such cases listed in the
documents by Dr.stevenson. He also states that
further proof of reincarnation may be
birthmarks which some people have. These are
said to be from accidents or fatal injuries they
received in a previous life.
http://www.past-lives-regression.com
13. This was indeed borne out in one of his cases on
a man from Thailand, who recalled that he was
in fact his own deceased maternal
uncle, reincarnated. This man had a scar on his
head that matched the location where his
maternal uncle had been wounded with a knife
and had died as a result.
http://www.past-lives-regression.com
14. Another child claimed that he had been a man
named MahaRam, who had been killed by
close range shots to the chest area. And in fact,
the child had birthmarks on his chest that
looked like they could have been bullet wound
scars.

15. The "father" of modern past life regression, Dr.
Brian Weiss, supports the concept of rebirth as
a plausible one, and so do many other
prominent authorities in the field of psychology
and psychiatry. Even so, science itself remains
very skeptical about the concept of past life
rebirth.

16. Nonetheless, it's also worth noting that when
many people undergo a few sessions of past life
regression therapy, they experience the sudden
disappearance of phobias and fears they've had
their entire lives.
