Who is Patanjali Maharishi ?  

Patanjali Maharshi, an ancient Indian guru/seer, is credited with having conducted considerable research on the concept of regressing to previous lives. Patanjali Maharishi, the author of the Yoga Sutras, referred to this process of regressing to a previous existence as “Prati-Prasav.”, The process of reabsorbing the cause is what this refers to. This entails tracing the effect all the way back to its origin, often known as the involution process.

What is Prati Prasav Meditation/Sadhana ?

Prasav is the name given to the day that a kid is born. When you perform Prati-Prasav, you go back to the moment of your birth and relive the traumatic events that occurred at that time. This is what it means to be “born again in memory.”

As per Patanjali Yog Sutra, chapter, Quote 10 & 11, 
॥ ते प्रतिप्रसवहेयाः सूक्ष्माः पदच्छेद: ते , प्रतिप्रसव , हेयाः , सूक्ष्माः॥

Meaning : 
The subtle klesas are to be conquered by resolving them into their causal state.

Explanation on Prati Prasav Sadhna 

We are able to eliminate these impediments by resolving them back into their fundamental cause, which we refer to as kelasa or vikaras. This can be accomplished by returning to a spiritual state of meditation. It is possible for the mind to triumph over the subtle kinds of suffering (klesas), which are also referred to as subconscious sensations, when it returns to its initial, unadulterated state. Pratiprasava or state of meditation is literally translated as “return to its original state,” “resolving back into their cause,” “return to the original state,” “disassociation from the creation process,” “counter-order,” “inverse propagation,” “resolving to a more elementary form,” and “withdrawal from manifestation.”

All of these deeply ingrained feelings and psychic impressions are brought to the surface in the Prati Prasav Sadhana practise so that they can be released and healed. What we accomplished in the past is nothing more than a reflection of itself in the here and now.

Unfinished business of the Past life

The unfinished business from our previous lifetimes is supposed to be wrapped up in this one, so that we can move on to better things. The conditions and the troubles that one is currently experiencing are the result of the stored luggage of psychic impressions that one has collected in various lives through each and every action, speech, and thought. This baggage was accumulated over the course of many lifetimes. Not only do the psychic impressions come from previous lifetimes, but they are also received and assimilated during the stages of being a child and a foetus in the womb of the mother.

Astrological Explanation on Unfinished business of the Past life in Natal Horoscope 

The very first dasha of the child birth shows everything about the past life unfinished business along with that number of retrograde planets placed in the birth chart shows how much karmas are pending that native need to complete in this life cycle. . 

The presence of challenges in one’s life is often an indicator of unsolved problems; conversely, the more the number of challenges and problems encountered in one’s life, the greater the number of unresolved problems that must be addressed in order to prevent oneself from being reborn into the same kind of situation over and over again.

Importance of Karmas in Past life 

Samskaras, also known as sanchit karmas or psychic impressions, are the name given to unresolved issues, and the only way to access them is through meditation. If there is something, some trouble, or some problem that is associated with the past, then we return to the primary source from whence it originated. Because we can keep attempting to find a solution to the problem, but unless we get to its foundation, we won’t be able to find one. It is impossible to find a solution to a problem unless one first traces it back to its root cause.

For instance, if there is an unpleasant plant and we continue to cut the branches and the leaves in an effort to get rid of the weed, we will find that more and more branches and leaves are growing in their place to replace the ones that we have removed. We need to get down into the roots of the weed and pull them out completely if we want to get rid of the weed for good.

The only way to fully comprehend this concept is to transport yourself back in time to those final seconds, to the precise moment when a soul departs from its physical body. From there, you must go even further back in time to determine how many lives a soul has lived.

Karmas, Memories, Traumas and Soul connection with Past life 

All of those memories never become stale and never lose their connection to the soul and the conscious mind, but they do lose that connection with the body and the conscious mind.

We ought to put all of this to the test using case studies taken from real-life situations so that it may be consolidated into real truths. When it comes to this method, we should begin by cross-verifying it with people who have gone through the process of past life regression, and then we should verify its causes and consequences in the horoscope by analysing all four types of karmas.

When we go through such a procedure, we are better able to comprehend and compare it to the actual torment and suffering that anyone experiences in this birth as a direct result of their sins and wrongdoings in previous lives. In this section, I will show how we might have a better understanding of the process of past birth incarnation by evaluating a real-life case of past happenings uncovered by both ways. This case will be taken from the past. The most essential component is having a solid understanding of former lives as well as the nature of the regression process itself.

Contemporary belief, what exactly is regression to a Past life?

Prati-Prasav is a process, and it has previously been explained that this process involves the soul going back and forth between the conscious mind and the sub-conscious mind in order to get to its root point. However, the process itself involves many other processes. Hypnosis is employed during the process of past-life regression therapy, which aims to elicit memories of a person’s previous incarnations or lives.

Importance of Past Life Reading in astrology

In most cases, people engage in the practise of past-life reading either via past life regression or with the help of past life reading in astrology either in the hope of having a spiritual awakening or within the context of psychological treatment. The Upanishads, which are part of the canon of ancient Indian literature, include reference to past-life regression; however, Patajali’s Yoga Sutras provide a more in-depth examination of the topic. Patajali, a Hindu scholar, penned a text in the second century B.C. that described the concept of the soul becoming burdened with an accumulation of impressions as a component of the karma from previous lives.

Maharishi Patajali referred to the act of regressing to a prior life as prati-prasav, which literally translates to “reverse birthing.” He saw it as a way to solve present-day issues by recalling experiences from previous lifetimes. There are still schools of yoga that use prati-prasav as a method of practise.

It is important to do past life regression because it is the only way to cleanse or heal painful events from previous lifetimes, which, if not addressed, might prevent us from fully actualizing ourselves in this life and/or cause us distress. Activating creativity or a useful ability that has been actively displayed in a previous life but has stayed dormant or unrecognised in this incarnation is another benefit of past life regression therapy.

With the helps of Past life regression  and knowing native past life events we can know about native past life events those are linked with the current planetary placements and the series of traumatic life events native is experiencing in the current life in the form of bad marriage, health issues and challenges in career. 

For e.g. if 7th lord and Venus is afflicted in the D1, D9 and D10 chart it shows native relationship and married will be bad due to past life events that one can experience whenever there is a transit of the Rahu and ketu over the 7th lord and Natal Venus

Relationship between Past Life, Karma and Horoscope

All of these deeply ingrained feelings and psychic impressions are brought to the surface in the Prati Prasav Sadhana practise so that they can be released and healed. What we accomplished in the past is nothing more than a reflection of itself in the here and now.

In Birth chart, Horoscope Karma is divided in into 4 parts :

The unfinished business from our previous lifetimes is supposed to be wrapped up in this one, so that we can move on to better things. The conditions and the troubles that one is currently experiencing are the result of the stored luggage of psychic impressions that one has collected in various lives through each and every action, speech, and thought.

Karmic Baggage, Past life Karma and Astrology 

This Karmic baggage was accumulated over the course of many lifetimes. Not only do the psychic impressions come from previous lifetimes, but they are also received and assimilated during the stages of being a child and a foetus in the womb of the mother. In the Birth chart or natal horoscope Rahu and Ketu shows everything about the karmic baggage and its relationship or conjunctions with natal planets shows what are those karmic baggage that we need to experience in this life to liberate from those deeds or baggage’s. Saturn relationship with planetary placement in the natal chart shows everything about the Rinanubandhan. Trine to Saturn , Conjunction with Saturn shows whom we are connected in this life as part of the Deep Rinanubandhan. 

The presence of challenges in one’s life is often an indicator of unsolved problems; conversely, the more the number of challenges and problems encountered in one’s life, the greater the number of unresolved problems that must be addressed in order to prevent oneself from being reborn into the same kind of situation over and over again.

What is reincarnation and its relationship in Past life Astrology ?

According to the concept of reincarnation, we must through a series of incarnations in order to reach our full potential as spiritual beings and hence must endure multiple lifetimes. The soul is immortal and does not perish; we just temporarily house it in our bodies.

The soul has existed across a great number of lifetimes. When we are born, our soul brings with it all of the experience, knowledge, and karma that it has accumulated throughout the course of previous lives. The vast lineage of our ancestors’ experiences in prior lives is the source of the attributes that we manifest in this one.

The memories of earlier incarnations are preserved at the level of the soul, and it is not possible to retrieve them at the conscious level. Participating in a past-life regression session is the most straightforward approach to learning about and having an experience of a previous incarnation.

Reincarnation in Vedic Astrology
