How long does it take for a soul/ Atma to reincarnate ?
( Rebirth )
One of the mysteries puzzling the human mind since the origin of mankind is the concept of “reincarnation” which literally means “to take on the flesh again.
NO ONE REALLY KNOWS WHEN WILL ATMA REINCARNATE Again .
In Hinduism, in the holy book Rigveda, the oldest extant Indo-Aryan text, numerous references are made to rebirths. One verse says:
“Burn him not up, nor quite consume him, Agni:
Let not his body or his skin be scattered. O Jatavedas, when thou hast matured him, then send him on his way unto the Fathers… let thy fierce flame, thy glowing splendour, burn him With thine auspicious forms, O Jatavedas, bear this man to the region of the pious. Again, O Agni, to the Fathers send him who, offered in thee, goes with our oblations.
Wearing a new life let him increase his offspring: Let him rejoin a body, Jatavedas.”
Followers of the Advaita Vedanta school believe they will spend eternity absorbed in the perfect peace and happiness of the realization that all existence is one Brahman of which the soul is part.
Dvaita schools perform worship with the goal of spending eternity in a spiritual world or heaven (loka) in the blessed company of the Supreme Being.
Bhagawat Geetha Says:
te taṁ bhuktvā svarga-lokaṁ viśālaṁ
kṣīṇe puṇye martya-lokaṁ viśanti [BG - 9.21]
Meaning:
When they have thus enjoyed vast heavenly sense pleasure and the results of their pious activities are exhausted, they return to this mortal planet again.
Also BG says:
a-brahma-bhuvanal lokah punar avartino 'rjuna
mam upetya tu kaunteya punar janma na vidyate [BG - 8.16]
Meaning:
From the highest planet in the material world down to the lowest, all are places of misery wherein repeated birth and death take place. But one who attains to My abode, O son of Kunti, never takes birth again.
