When India's top sitar musician
Ravi Shankar had a glimpse of the past, he discovered that it was his own.
Ravi Shankar
At the age of 2½, he started
to ask his parents for toys that were in "the house where I lived before".
At the age of six, Ravi began to tell his parents about a past life. He
claimed that he was murdered by two relations who wanted to prevent him
inheriting the family business. They decapitated him with a razor.
Lynn Picknett, a journalist, researched
the claims and discovered that a six-year-old boy had been murdered at
the address described, and in the way Ravi described, six months before
his birth. Picknett wrote, "The strangest coincidence of all was
that Ravi was born with a birth mark around his neck that looked just
like a razor slash."
