Lord Jesus reincarnated. Can human do may not be possible But......The Sanskrit word for rebirth or reincarnation is 'punarjanam' and 'samsara' (theround of births and deaths or transmigration of the soul).
Writes S. Rajmohan, research scholar at the Ramakrishna Mission, Chennai, India, in Tattvaloka (June-July 1995): "For death is nothing but the dissolution of the body, which is a mere cage for the jiva (soul). At the time of death, the self entrapped in the snare of the five elements leaves one body and enters another."
The scriptures further clarify that death is a mere point in the soul's journey to the ultimate goal of life—moksha or liberation from the cycle of life and death. Thus, this transmigration of the soul is defined as "the passage after death of the human or animal soul from a mortal body to a new incarnation in another body of the same or another species" in the Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics edited by James Hastings.
But this network of life is not limited to fables and fantasies. There is documented evidence of children remembering their past lives. However, the scientific community is unimpressed. "Reincarnation cannot be proven scientifically," says Delhi-based psychiatrist Dr Kulin Kothari. "It is a belief propagated by the spiritual and metaphysical schools."

So we have skeptics on one hand and on the other, those who do not need any evidence of reincarnation because they are rooted in a culture that believes in reincarnation. In between are researchers who try to analyze the claims of rebirth through a scientific approach.
KARMA AND REINCARNATION
To understand reincarnation, we must know its origins. The Bhagvad Purana states: "Just as commodities like gold and other articles change hands, a jiva (soul) wanders from one species of existence to another." So we are reborn and get a life in accordance with our past karmas or deeds.

A little skeptical about this theory, filmstar Suresh Oberoi says: "I don't know about past lives, but I do agree that karma rebounds. Karma is action and just as whatever seed you sow becomes a plant of that species, so whatever action you perform must give its results. When it will materialize is very difficult to say."
Writes Swami Jyotirmayananda in Tattvaloka: "Though the Sanskrit word 'karma' literally means 'action', it implies the impressions of action that exist in the subconscious and the unconscious depths of the mind. Therefore, for every reincarnating spirit, there is a storehouse of karma from the past lives. All karmas don't bear fruit in the same life. Certain karmas continue to exist as seeds and may fructify in future lives."
But the law of karma does not bind you to fate or destiny. It is the propeller to surge you ahead in the evolution cycle. In The Problem of Life and Death, Swami Parmananda of Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai, India, writes: "On the contrary it (karma) declares that no condition is permanent, but if man wishes to escape from the present fruits of his actions, he has only to direct his energies steadily in another channel and he will counteract the results of his past errors." For instance, if you have a bad habit such as smoking, you just have to fix your goal to a higher purpose to get rid of this habit.
Swami Vivekananda is even more emphatic on the role of free will. He wrote: "We have the power to be what we are, and whatever we wish to be, we have the power to make ourselves." If what we are has been the result of our past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act."

But most of us forget our past lives. Why? Wrote Sri Aurobindo in The Life Divine: "The law that deprives us of the memory of the past lives is a law of the cosmic wisdom and serves, not disserves, its evolutionary purpose... A clear and detailed memory of the past lives, hatred, rancor, attachments, connections would be a stupendous inconvenience; for it would bind the reborn being to a useless repetition or a compulsory continuation of his surface past and stand in the way of his bringing out new possibilities from the depths of the spirit."
According to J. Bruce Long, it could be the fear of transference of karma. "As written in the Mahabharata, the transference of karmas, good or evil, is more prevalent in families. The chaste wife can release her husband from sin. Like all negatives, this too has a negative, so to destroy a man, destroy his wife," he writes in Karma and Rebirth in Indian Classical Traditions.
Most Buddhist sects agree with reincarnation. The Tibetan Book of The Dead describes the soul's passage after death and how it comes back to human form. The story of the Dalai Lama is the best example of children's past life memory. Each of the Dalai Lamas, over many centuries since the birth of the first in 1351 AD, followed the same line; each one was an incarnation of the last, retaining the spiritual wisdom acquired over many lifetimes.
