Hi Hgilbert, |

I removed the paragraph because the theory of attributing reincarnation to the aboriginal non vedic culture is entirely speculative. The earliest written evidence containing precise definitions of karma and moksha can be found in Brihadaranyaka by Yagnavalkya. The idea of rebirth can be traced to Rigveda (egs in mandala eleven, there is a description of how a persion is repeatedly put into a mother's womb). The idea might have evolved (probably independently) in the Shramanic culture (having its roots in the non orthodox Sankhya school). One of the references that was referred, suggests that Yagnavalkya was reluctant to teach the concepts of reincarnation to Janaka, and based on this, concludes that reincarnation was previously unknown. In Brihadaranyaka, Janaka is eager to learn the concept of Brahman (not reincarnation) and Yagnavalkya tests the eagerness of his possible student. In the upanishads, lot of such stories have been told (egs: there is a story about a son who tries to learn the concept of Brahman from his father). What should be noted is that the concept of reincarnation was primarily born from the experiences of the seers ( both vedic and non-orthodox ). |

Steffen quote on your user page
Hello Hgilbert: Compliments on your userpage! I suggest a little spelling fix on the Steffen quote: Der Herr des Schicklas...should be: Der Herr des Schicksals....Rembertbiemond (talk) 07:49, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
- Stimmt, natürlich! Dankeschön. hgilbert (talk) 18:40, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
- Actually Schickals should still be altered to Schicksals. Cheers and Happy Holidays! EPadmirateur (talk) 19:05, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you...pretty careless...it's fixed finally. hgilbert (talk) 13:40, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
looks RST Page
Forgive me for bringing up the "looks" of the RST Page again.. Do you have a possebility to look with internbet explorer as browser? then you will see immedeatly what i mean. ....Rembertbiemond (talk) 21:18, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
- It looks OK to me now, after the formatting was restored...how is it for you? hgilbert (talk) 02:28, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- oh absolutly -- much better without the white !! --
- But the other problem :The looks of the Anthroposophy box in relation to the text left of the box and the picture under the box it is not really nice i think...But i have no idea how to do something about it and it is not sooooo important i think. Rembertbiemond (talk) 12:56, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- It's a difficult thing to resolve, as every screen-width and every browser will display the result differently. Generally, something like this should be discussed on the article's talk page, as someone might know a solution there. I'll post the problem there for now. hgilbert (talk) 16:32, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Changes to the article reincarnation
Hi Hgilbert,
I removed the paragraph because the theory of attributing reincarnation to the aboriginal non vedic culture is entirely speculative. The earliest written evidence containing precise definitions of karma and moksha can be found in Brihadaranyaka by Yagnavalkya. The idea of rebirth can be traced to Rigveda (egs in mandala eleven, there is a description of how a persion is repeatedly put into a mother's womb). The idea might have evolved (probably independently) in the Shramanic culture (having its roots in the non orthodox Sankhya school). One of the references that was referred, suggests that Yagnavalkya was reluctant to teach the concepts of reincarnation to Janaka, and based on this, concludes that reincarnation was previously unknown. In Brihadaranyaka, Janaka is eager to learn the concept of Brahman (not reincarnation) and Yagnavalkya tests the eagerness of his possible student. In the upanishads, lot of such stories have been told (egs: there is a story about a son who tries to learn the concept of Brahman from his father). What should be noted is that the concept of reincarnation was primarily born from the experiences of the seers ( both vedic and non-orthodox ).
