ONE BIRTH OR A CYCLICAL SERIES OF BIRTHS ?

ONE BIRTH OR A CYCLICAL SERIES OF BIRTHS ?

The Indian dharma traditions (Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism and the like) affirm transmigration of the soul from body to body from birth to birth. The Theory of Karma explains this phenomenon of cyclical birth till spiritual liberation is reached. The Semitic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam), on the other hand, affirm only one terrestrial life. Which one is true? If rebirth is true, then even Jews, Christians and Muslims will have to be reborn which will undo their scriptural doctrines and prove these religions invalid. And if rebirth is untrue, then the entire edifice of the Sanatan Dharma will fall. I request you all to consider this and accordingly react. 🕉
