Born Again

Meanwhile at the Clinic

While Mira was doing a sweep search of their room as well as that of Tania, her husband and her granddaughter had almost reached the clinic.

"Nani ji wanted to go with us to the psychiatrist," Tania expressed her thoughts aloud while parking the car.

"Yes," responded her Dadi ji, "But she needs to do the sweeping of the rooms to ensure that there are no hidden gadgets, as I have a hunch we missed something."

Upon reaching the clinic, which was about the same time that Mira finished checking the rooms thoroughly, they put their phones on silent mode.

This was the reason they were not aware that Mira had tried to call them.

As the entered the clinic they saw that Dr. Viktor Demetrius was waiting for them. There was no patient. He seemed anxious.

"Namaste, Good afternoon Sir. How are you feeling Tania? I think you are not having any more frightening dreams since your sessions?" He asked.

He quickly ushered then into the inner room where he had his hypnotism couch.

"Now we can talk without anyone interrupting us," he said still with that anxious expression on his face.

"What is the matter?" Dinesh Sharma asked looking perplexed.

"Well, I could not tell you much on the phone but Sanya came to visit me last night in my dreams."

"She insisted that I call you today as she wants to convey important information about Igor who was Tania's murderer in her previous lives."

So, Tania, I need you to lie down again, but before that have a look at your chart to see if anything more needs to be added."

Tania and her Dada ji went through it, they knew that it was the written statement of the recordings of the last session. They had nothing to add.

They both knew the procedure. They went inside the hypnotism room to get ready. Tania knew the the drill and drank a glass of water, she used the washroom since the session would take 2-3 hours.

They both occupied their respective positions i.e. Dada ji near the door and Tania on the couch.

Within a few minutes the Doctor started to place Tania in the first stage of trance by suggestions that she was relaxing her body and mind. He started the relaxation slowly, from her toes to her heels and ankles then the lower limbs then the torso, the upper limbs, the neck and the head as well as the various organs of the body.

As was done in the previous sessions, he checked the movement of her eyes. He took her through the first stage of fluttering of the eyelids, to the next stage into the deep trance where the eyes were moving side to side and then to the deepest trance state characterized by rolling upwards of her eyes. Now he could give suggestions.

His questions were similar as in previous sessions. He asked her name, her age and where she was residing.

Tania gave the same replies as she had given in the earlier sessions.

The murder was committed by a professor who did not like her for a flimsy reason that she was more intelligent than his daughter in the medical college and was proving to be a competent Intern in the hospital whereas his daughter was a work shirker. He murdered her with the gas pipe in the kitchen. He himself had died after being hit by a speeding vehicle.

She also informed that she was born again in 1981 and her name was Anastasia. She lived with her parents on a farm in a village near Kiev in Ukraine. The name of the village started with the letter 'K'. She died along with her parents in a fire due to a short circuit. People thought it was done by the neighbours as there was enmity between her father and the neighbour regarding land. The neighbours had the surname as Gagarin.

She further described the old man as mean, but his wife was OK. Their son Fedor and his wife Nikita were nice and recently married. Nikita would call her and give her sweets and cakes that she had baked. But the old man would get to know and would chase her away.

She recollected that the old man had chased her out of his house with a stick saying that her family were thieves and were stealing his crops.

She had asked her father who had informed her that the old man was always picking fights with our family. In addition, her father told her to avoid the Gagarin family. She also recalled that the old man would let his goats and cows into her father's fields to eat up their crops.

Then she went further back into another past life and recounted that she was on a ship sailing to India from England. The year was 1867. She said that she was a botanist, who along with the team and her father heading the team, were on their way to study the rich herbal plants in the Himalayas which can be used to make herbal medicines. The place was called Pushpawati Valley. The news had traveled that there were exotic and rare plants as well as flowering plants in abundance in this valley.

At that time India was directly administered by the United Kingdom and called British India or the British Raj, It includes areas ruled by indigenous rulers, but under British tutelage called princely states. She again described her clothes which indicated that it was the Victorian era. She said that she was suppose to be wearing a Victorian type gown, but that cannot be worn while travelling.

However, she had had her dresses modified. No stiffening or corsets were set in her clothes. The skirts she had were above ankle length so that she could walk and climb hills etc. and even ride a horse as a man would, not sideways as women did during that time.

She said that her name was Margret Smith. She was 24 years old, about 5'5" tall, quite slim, a red head, with blue eyes and a sunny disposition. She felt that she belonged to India from past lives.
