Philosophy:Punarjanman
From HandWiki
Short description: Rebirth in Indian religions
Punarjanman (Sanskrit: पुनर्जन्मन्) in Hinduism is a Sanskrit word that refers to "repeated birth", "transmigration", "re-birth" or "a principle of
diachronic ontogeny".[1][2][3][4] According to Y. Krishan, the ultimate goal of the Indian religions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and that of the Upanishads, has been based on attainment of moksha, nirvana, and consequently the termination of punarjanman or 'rebirth'.[4]
