The Hindus and the Buddhists particularly avow the doctrine of reincarnation. On account of its rationality it is also widely accepted in the West. In view of the spread of the scientific outlook in the East, and of the gradual acceptance of the rebirth doctrine in the West, this clear and concise exposition of the doctrine in relation to the finding of modern biology will be of interest to many people.
My name should not be made prominent. It is my ideas that I want to see realized. The disciples of all the prophets have always inextricably mixed up the ideas of the Master with person, and at last killed the ideas for the person.The disciples of Sri Ramakrishna must guard against doing the same thing. Work for the idea, not the person.
-Swami Vivekananda
