Sometimes people would ask our spiritual master Srila Prabhupada: “You are speaking about reincarnation, you're speaking about transmigration of the soul. What is the proof of reincarnation? Who has gone to the other side and then come back to tell us how the body changed?”
Srila Prabhupada would say that it is a practical observable fact in this life. Just like here we have Loka Bandhu Prabhu. Loka, how old are you? Thirty six years old. But one time you had a five year old. Yes? Where’s it gone? One time you had a ten year old body. Where’s it gone? One time you had a 15 year old body. Beautiful shining Kazakh body that was glowing with the sun of Central Asia, with beauty that was incomparable! Where’s that 15 year old body gone? When I first met you, you had a 25 year old body, where’s that body gone? You see. But you are still the same. You are the soul.
You are the soul. You are Loka Bandhu.
You are not just Kazakh body.
And then you will become very very old. Still you will be Loka Bandhu.
Reincarnation is an observable fact.
