"Five Lectures on Reincarnation" by Swami Abhedananda is a late 19th-century exploration of reincarnation through the lens of Vedanta philosophy. It explains the connection between our subtle body, filled with impressions from past lives, and our physical existence, showing how actions and wishes impact future incarnations, understanding that the soul evolves via those successive lifetimes. The work begins by explaining how this subtle body influences our current experiences, highlighting the effect of desires and karmic actions on current existence. Swami Abhedananda uses philosophical and scientific points to explain why reincarnation is still important in our modern world.
