Mythology In ancient Indian literature, the Upanishads mention past-life regression, but the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali discuss the concept in greater detail. Written during the 2nd century BC, the Hindu scholar Patañjali discussed the idea of the soul becoming burdened with an accumulation of impressions as part of the karma from previous lives. Patañjali called the process of past-life regression prati-prasav (literally reverse birthing), and saw it as addressing current problems through memories of past lives. Some types of yoga continue to use prati-prasav as a practice. In the religious mythology of China the deity Meng Po, also known as the Lady of Forgetfullness, prevents souls from remembering their past lives: she gives them a bittersweet drink that erases all memories before they climb the wheel of reincarnation. Modern era In the modern era, it was the works of Madame Blavatsky, co-founder of the Theosophical Society, which brought it a new found popularity, especially in the West. French educator Allan Kardec also researched into past life regression in The Spirits Book and Heaven and Hell. Past life regression therapy has been developed since the 1950s by psychologists, psychiatrists and mediums. The belief gained credibility because some of the advocates possess legitimate credentials, though these credentials were in areas unrelated to religion, psychotherapy or other domains dealing with past lives and mental health. Interest in the phenomenon started due to American housewife Virginia Tighe reporting and recounting the alleged memories of a 19th-century Irish woman named Bridey Murphy; later investigation failed to support the existence of such a woman and the memories were attributed to Tighes childhood during which she spent time living next to an Irish immigrant with great similarity to the character she described. In 1988, Brian Weiss, an American psychiatrist, started using past-life regression using hypnosis on his patient, later published, best-selling Many Lives, Many Masters, and has since been prominent writer on the topic. He has appeared twice in interview with Oprah Winfrey. DR.BRIAN WEISS HAS ALSO WRITTEN MIRACLES HAPPEN AND IS PRESENTLY IN MY HANDS. AN INTERESTING BOOK TO REMIND MY SAGES, RISHIS AND MAHARISHIS.
