Shanti Devi the reincarnation of Lugdi Devi.

It is the curious story about a girl that remembered her other life.

  Shanti Devi  was born in Delhi, India on 11 December, 1926. When she was four years, she began to talk  of the memories of other life. She talked of how her real home was not in Delhi, but was rather 150kms away in the city of Mathura. It was also here that she stated her husband lived. 

Her parents told that her other life was in the past, and that the now is what mattered, and to leave the rest behind. But this did not sit well with the young girl who ran away from home at age six in order to travel to Mathura, and her real home. She was eventually caught and taken back to Delhi, but the experience did little to dissuade her and soon she began to speak of her other life at length at school.

 At nine years old, Shanti remebered her husband's name: Pandit Kedarnath Chaube, too that was a merchant, and that she herself had died nine/ten days after giving birth to a child. With this information her headmaster was able to locate  her husband.

Having found a man who seemed to be linked to the girl story the headmaster arranged for Kedarnath Chaube  to travel to Delhi. Shanti Devi was able to recognise him immediately on site as her husband, and was able to recognise ‘her son’. It did not take long for Shanti to convince this man that she was, in fact, his wife for she knew details that were intimate and secret within the family.

Mahatma Gandhi was soon informed about what was happening with the ‘supposed’ reincarnation and set up an enquiry to study the girl and the story. With stringent conditions imposed on the commission, and Shanti Devi herself, they travelled to Mathura where the story gets even more amazing. After the visit and returning home the commission came to the conclusion that Shanti Devi was irrefutably the reincarnation of Lugdi Devi. Several other people made their own independent investigations, and came to the same conclusion.

Shanti Devi died  27 December, 1987. She did several formal interviews. She also gave details of her death and what took place between, that event and her reincarnation. 

You believe in the other life? Will there be other people like Shanti who do not dare to tell her story? It is a real mystery.
