Beyond Death: The Shanti Devi Reincarnation Case

Shanti Devi, a girl born in Delhi in 1926, is a prominent figure in reincarnation studies due to her remarkable case documented in the 1930s. From an early age, Shanti Devi began recalling precise details about a past life as Lugdi Devi, who lived in Mathura, over 180 kilometers from Delhi. Her memory included names, places, and personal events that were confirmed during a thorough investigation conducted by a committee led by Mahatma Gandhi and the renowned researcher Dr. Ian Stevenson.
Throughout her life, Shanti Devi demonstrated extraordinary knowledge of her previous life, including detailed descriptions of her past family and personal belongings. Her story has been the subject of numerous studies and debates worldwide and remains one of the most impressive pieces of evidence in the study of reincarnation. Although she lived a relatively quiet life after her case was discovered, Shanti Devi’s legacy continues to challenge and fascinate scientists and scholars in the fields of spirituality and the afterlife.
