Past Life of Shah Rukh Khan as a Female Indian Dancer

In sessions with Kevin Ryerson, I asked about Shah Rukh Khan, who has been described as India’s heartthrob. Ahtun Re revealed that Mr. Khan, in a past lifetime, was a well-known female Indian dancer and actress who lived during the early years of Indian cinema. After some research, I found a possible candidate in Sadhona Bose. In as subsequent session with Kevin Ryerson, Ahtun Re confirmed that Shah Rukh Khan is the reincarnation of Sadhona Bose, who lived from 1914 to 1973.

The Life of Sadhona Bose

Sadhona was an actress and dancer from Calcutta, a city which is now called Kolkata. Sadhona was trained in classic Indian dance, but she also performed ballet. In 1929, she even worked with Anna Pavlova on a stage version of Alibaba. Her best known movie is Raj Nartaki, which was released in the United States as Court Dancer. Sadhona Bose also produced the show, Rhythm of Victory, an extravaganza which featured 40 dancers.

Past Life Talent: Dancing Ability of Shah Rukh Khan

As a boy, Shah Rukh Khan was described as an extrovert with a mischievous streak. At school, he liked to entertain classmates with imitations of their teachers and celebrities. Shah Rukh Khan was attracted to the theater early on and eventually earned a Master’s degree in film and journalism.

The dancing talent of Sadhona Bose was expressed early on in the career of Shah Rukh Khan, who performed as a dancer under Barry John, an internationally known director and actor. John was producing Annie Get Your Gun with his Theater Action Group in New Delhi. Shah Rukh Khan asked John for a role and was cast as a male dancer in the production. Barry John has remarked on Shah Rukh Khans talent: “His ability to mime and clown, his dancing skills and his gymnastic skills were remarkable.” (1)

Shah Rukh Khan performed in other musicals, including Wizard of Oz, and continues to engage in musical productions. In 2004, he went on a two month song and dance tour which included venues in Europe and North America.

The Love Story of Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Chhiba

An interesting part of Shah Rukh Khan’s life is his romance and marriage with Gauri Chhiba. Shah Rukh Khan is Muslim, whereas Gauri Chhiba is Hindu. As such, their romance has a Romeo and Juliet quality, in that their different religions created complications in the relationship.

At one point, Gauri Chhiba went to Mumbai for solitude, without informing Shah Rukh Khan. This unexpected separation led to Rukh Khan’s realization that he must be with Gauri. Though he did not know her specific whereabouts in Mumbai, which is a huge city, he went there to search for her.

Knowing that Gauri liked beaches, on the last day of his expedition to Mumbai he asked a cab driver for a recommendation regarding a beach he might go to in order to find his lady. The driver told Rukh Khan to try Aksa Beach, where he indeed found Gauri. The couple embraced and knew that they were meant to be with one another.

om shanti om born again walter semkiw IISIS Reincarnation CaseGenerally, when there is such a strong pull between people, such as demonstrated in the relationship of Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Chhiba, there is usually a past life connection. It would be interesting to investigate the relationship history of these two people over the eons, over many lifetimes.

Walter Semkiw’s Born Again & Om Shanty Om

Of interest, when my book Born Again came out in India in 2006 and I was interviewed in India on CNN-IBN, Shah Rukh Khan was in the middle of making a movie. According to the Times of India, Shah Rukh Khan left that production to capitalize on the publicity that Born Again generated to make a movie on reincarnation. That film was Om Shanty Om, a wonderfully entertaining movie that has enjoyed international distribution.

Om Shanti Om was released in November 2007 and broke box office records, grossing over 1.49 billion worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film of all-time.

Lady Gaga & Reincarnation

Also of interest, Lady Gaga was interviewed by Shah Rukh Khan when she was in India. In that interview, as reported in the Times of India and on the website Digital Spy, she expressed her belief in reincarnation.

In Shah Rukh Khan Interview, Lady Gaga says: “I was reincarnated”

“Lady Gaga has told Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan that she believes she was reincarnated. The Born This Way performer was interviewed by the Indian film star during her recent trip to India, reports The Times of India

‘I believe you can be reborn over and over again,’ Gaga explained. ‘I believe I was my father’s sister. My father’s sister died when she was 19 years old and I believe her spirit is with me and so I believe that I am her reincarnation.'”

In session I had with Kevin Ryerson, I asked Ahtun Re, the spirit being channeled through Kevin who has demonstrated an ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy, whether Lady Gaga’s belief that she is the reincarnation of her paternal aunt is valid. Ahtun Re indicated that this is true. To learn more, go to: Reincarnation Case of Joanne Stefani Germanotta | Lady Gaga

Reincarnation Case of Robert Todd Lincoln | Steven Spielberg with the Reincarnation Case of Edwin Booth | Amitabh Bachchan

From: Born Again

Article by: Walter Semkiw, MD

After I made the assessment that Ahtun Re, a spirit guide that Kevin Ryerson channels, can make accurate reincarnation matches, I started asking about the past lives of accomplished individuals.  When I asked Ahtun Re for a past lifetime for Steven Spielberg, I was surprised when he told me that Spielberg was Abraham Lincoln’s only son to grow to adulthood, Robert Todd Lincoln. I never would have made that connection, though Lincoln was a great theater fan, which appears to have extended to his sons.

About two years later, I was working on reincarnation cases for an Indian version of Born Again, including that of Amitabh Bachchan, one of India’s most prominent movie stars. Ahtun Re told me that Bachchan in a past lifetime was Edwin Booth, one of the most prominent actors of 19th century America and the brother of John Wilkes Booth, the man who assassinated Abraham Lincoln.

Further investigation revealed that Edwin Booth’s entire family has reincarnated around Amitabh Bachchan in India, while the Lincoln family, including Abrahan and Robert Todd Lincoln | Steven Spielberg, have reincarnated in modern day Hollywood.

5-edwin-booth-amitabh-bachchan-reincarnationThe specific identities of members of these two linked soul groups, the Lincoln soul group and the Booth soul group, provide fascinating examples of how relationships are renewed by reincarnation. These cases are featured in Born Again.

Principles of Reincarnation & Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance from One Lifetime to Another: There the facial features of Robert Todd Lincoln and Steven Spielberg are similar, including matching beards. One difference is that Robert Todd was heavier than Steven is. An uncanny resemblance exists between Edwin Booth and Amitabh Bachchan.

Renewal of Relationships through Reincarnation: The Lincoln family has reincarnated in Hollywood and the relationship of Robert Todd Lincoln with his father, Abraham, has been renewed. The case of Abraham Lincoln is featured in Born Again. The family of Edwin Booth has reincarnated in Bollywood, the movie center of India.

 

 

 

Reincarnation Cases of David O. Selznick | Ben Stiller & Alfred Hitchcock | Oren Moverman

Evidence of Reincarnation can Help Create a More Peaceful World

In 2010, I placed an advertisement for ReincarnationResearch.com in the Hollywood Reporter ‘s philanthropy issue to seek donations to fund translation of key independently derived reincarnation cases, such as those researched by Ian Stevenson, MD of the University of Virginia, into multiple languages. Since these cases show that a soul can change religion, nationality and ethnic affiliation from one incarnation to another, evidence of reincarnation can help create a more peaceful world. An especially powerful case in this regard is the: Reincarnation Case of Anne Frank | Barbro Karlen

The work of Ian Stevenson, MD and the Anne Frank Barbro Karlen case is featured in the viral reincarnation research video:

Evidence of Reincarnation

To have a positive impact, though, these independently researched reincarnation cases have to be made available to people of diverse cultures.

The ReincarnationResearch.com website page, Principles of Reincarnation, with the 23 independently researched reincarnation cases that are cited, form the template for our translation efforts.

Past Life Attraction: Ben Stiller and the Biopic on David O. Selznick

With the placement of the ad, I was given a complimentary subscription to the Hollywood Reporter. In the November 4, 2011 issue I was struck by an article on Ben Stiller, who was described as “an astute, driven filmmaker,” which is very different from his public, comic persona. My curiosity was further piqued by the following line:

“Two of his favorite future films have show business at their heart, each centered on a larger-than-life character whose moral ambivalence intrigues Stiller and whose drive is perhaps something he relates to. One is about David O. Selznick, the obsessive producer of Gone with the Wind.” (1)

I then read a different article in which it was stated that Stiller very much wants to be involved in the production of this movie on the life of David O. Selznick and is even considering playing the lead role of Selznick.

Affinity Reincarnation Cases: Attraction to One’s Own Past Life

There is a category of reincarnation cases that I term “affinity cases,” in which an individual is attracted to their own past life persona. One example involves the reincarnation case of Dorothy Dandridge | Halle Barry and two others involve the reincarnations of Laurel and Hardy. In this light, I wondered if Stiller might be the reincarnation of Selznick.

I noted that the shape of Ben Stiller’s face is similar to that of Selznick, though Selznick was much heavier in weight then is Stiller. The reincarnation case of Oliver Hardy | Danny Bacher demonstrates how facial architecture can remain the same from lifetime to lifetime, though appearance can vary due to body weight. As with Stiller, Danny is not nearly as heavy as Ollie was.

Spirit Being Ahtun Re Affirms Ben Stiller as the Reincarnation of David O. Selznick

Ben Stiller as Reincarnation of David O. Selznick, IISIS Walter Semkiw, MDIn a session with Kevin Ryerson, I asked about this proposed match and Ahtun Re, a spirit guide channeled through Kevin who has demonstrated an ability to make accurate past life matches, affirmed that Ben Stiller is the reincarnation of David O. Selznick. I then became excited about trying to find members of Selznick’s soul group reincarnated around Stiller. For example, it was Selznick who brought Alfred Hitchcock from England, introduced him to American audiences and made him one of the most famous directors in the world.

Oren Moverman as the Reincarnation of Alfred Hitchcock

In investigating possible soul group connections, I started with the movie that is being planned about Selznick. I learned that the screenplay was written by Pulitzer Prizewinning playwright Donald Margulies. Further, I read that an Israeli filmmaker, Oren Moverman, had rewritten Margulies’ screenplay and was being considered to direct the movie on Selznick.

I noted that Moverman bears a strong resemblance to Alfred Hitchcock, with the variation that Hitchcock was extremely overweight and Moverman is not. Like Hitchcock, Moverman started as a journalist and then moved into screenwriting and movie direction. In the session with Kevin Ryerson, Ahtun Re verified my hypothesis that Oren Moverman is the reincarnation of Alfred Hitchcock.

Ben Stiller as Reincarnation of David O. Selznick, IISIS Walter Semkiw, MDPrinciples of Reincarnation & Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance from One Lifetime to Another: There are similarities in facial features in the cases of David O. Selznik | Ben Stiller and Alfred Hitchcock | Oren Moverman.

Innate Past Life Talent: Similar talents in film making are demonstrated in these reincarnation cases from one lifetime to another.

Renewal of Relationships through Reincarnation: If these cases are accepted, then a collaboration from an earlier era has been renewed in contemporary times

Change in Nationality from One Incarnation to Another: Alfred Hitchcock was born in England, while Oren Moverman was born in Israel.

Split Incarnation: The lifetimes of Alfred Hitchcock and Oren Moverman overlap by about 16 years.

 

 

Reincarnation Case of Theda Bara | Madonna

Affirmed by: Spirit Guide or Spirit Being Ahtun Re in a Ryerson-Semkiw Reincarnation Research Session

Article by: Walter Semkiw, MD

In a session with Kevin Ryerson, Madonna has been confirmed by Ahtun Re to be the reincarnation of Theda Bara, who was a sex symbol of the silent screen era.

Theta wore very revealing and provocative costumes, much like Madonna’s lingerie-like outfits.

Of interest, Madonna likely believes in reincarnation, as she has been a strong supporter of the Kabbalah Centre in Los Angeles. Reincarnation is accepted in the teachings of this organization. I had the good fortune to do a presentation on evidence of reincarnation for Yehuda Berg, who is a co-director of The Kabbalah Centre.

Principles of Reincarnation & Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance: The facial features of Theda Bara and Madonna are consistent. One difference is that Theda maintained a heavier body weight, while Madonna seems to get leaner as she gets older.

Innate Past Life Talent: Theda Bara and Madonna have both been extremely successful and internationally famous entertainers.

Change of Religion and Ethnic Affiliation: Theda was born to a Jewish family with Polish and Swiss roots, while Madonna was born into an Italian Catholic family. Madonna’s Jewish past lifetime as Theda may explain her affinity for the Kabbalah, which is an esoteric Jewish system of spirituality.

Effects of the Anne Frank Reincarnation Case on Civil Liberties

In the Anne Frank | Barbro Karlen reincarnation case, it is noted that Anne Frank was persecuted and died in a Nazi concentration camp because she was a German Jew, then reincarnated into a Christian family in Sweden. I point out that if the Nazis knew that one could be Jewish in one lifetime and Christian in another, the Holocaust could never have happened.

Similarly, if people knew that one could be born dark-skinned in one lifetime and Caucasian in another and vice versa, slavery, segregation and racial prejudice in the United States would not have happened.

Reincarnation Case of Phillis Wheatley | Maya Angelou

Proposed by: Walter Semkiw, MD

Affirmed by: Spirit Guide or Spirit Being Ahtun Re in a Ryerson-Semkiw Reincarnation Research Session, 2006

Article by: Walter Semkiw, MD

One of Oprah Winfrey’s favorite poets is Maya Angelou, who has expressed the experiences and challenges that African-Americans have faced in her works.

When I read about Phillis Wheatley, who was brought to Boston as a slave and became the first African-American poet in the history of the United States, I wondered if Angelou is the reincarnation of Wheatley.

In a session with Kevin Ryerson, Ahtun Re agreed with this proposed match.

Principles of Reincarnation & Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance from One Lifetime to Another: Though the number of portraits of Phillis Wheatley is limited, in some images of Maya Angelou, a resemblance can be seen.

Innate Past Life Talent: Phillis Wheatley’s gift for prose is reflected in the works of Angelou.

Renewal of Relationships through Reincarnation: In my books Return of the Revolutionaries and Born Again, Oprah Winfrey is identified as the reincarnation of James Wilson, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and a scholar of English literature.

Phillis Wheatley lived during the American Revolution; George Washington and Thomas Paine were admirers of her work. Washington even invited Wheatley to his home after she wrote a poem about him.

As James Wilson resided in Philadelphia, it may be that Wheatley and Wilson never met in person. It is very likely though, that Wilson appreciated her poetry, much as Oprah admires the prose of Angelou.

 

Reincarnation Case of Jules Verne | David Mitchell & Cloud Atlas

Proposed by: Walter Semkiw, MD

Affirmed by: Spirit Guide or Spirit Being Ahtun Re in a Ryerson-Semkiw Reincarnation Research Session

Article by: Walter Semkiw, MD

David Mitchell is the author of Cloud Atlas, which has been made into a film by Lana and Andy Wachowski, along with Tom Tykwer. The Wachowskis are best known for their Matrix movie series. Lana Wachowski was previously Larry Wachowski, as this individual has changed gender from male to female. Transsexualism from the point of view of reincarnation is discussed on the page regarding past lives for Lana and Andy Wachowski (pending).

Halle Berry as the Reincarnation of Dorothy Dandridge

Cloud Atlas involves reincarnation, which makes this movie of great interest to me, especially since one of the stars, Halle Berry, is featured as a reincarnation case in Born Again. She is also featured on the ReincarnatoinResearch.com web site at the: Reincarnation Case of Dorothy Dandridge | Halle Berry

David Mitchell has stated, regarding, Cloud Atlas: “All of the [leading] characters are reincarnations of the same soul … identified by a birthmark. … The “cloud” refers to the ever-changing manifestations of the “atlas,” which is the fixed human nature. The book’s theme is predacity … individuals prey on individuals, groups on groups, nations on nations.” (1)

Ian Stevenson, at the University of Virginia, found that individuals who died of a traumatic wound, such as a bullet or stab wound, would have a scar or birthmark in the same anatomic location in a subsequent incarnation. This likely relates to David Mitchell’s use of a birthmark to identify a soul in a series of incarnations.

Cloud Atlas Author David Mitchell as the Reincarnation of Jules Verne

I was intrigued by who the author may have been in a prior lifetime. As I pondered this question, the words “Jules Verne” entered my mind. I found that an image of a young, clean-shaven Verne, which demonstrated a physical similarity between Verne and David Mitchell.

In a subsequent session with Kevin Ryerson, Ahtun Re confirmed that David Mitchell is the reincarnation of Jules Verne.

Principles of Reincarnation & Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: The facial features of the young Jules Verne correspond to those of David Mitchell.

Innate Past Life Talent: Jules Verne was a pioneer of science fiction, whose talent is evident in the writing of David Mitchell. Travel is prominent in the works of Verne and Mitchell.

Change in Nationality and Ethnic Affiliation: Jules Verne was born in France, while David Mitchell is a native of England.

Reincarnation Case of Leo Tolstoy | Tom Wolfe

Proposed by: Judith Shipstad in 11/2010

Affirmed by: Spirit Guide or Spirit Being Ahtun Re in a Ryerson-Semkiw Reincarnation Research Session

Article by: Walter Semkiw, MD

Leo Tolstoy was born in the Tula region of Russia in 1828 and died in 1910. He is considered one of the world’s greatest novelists, who wrote realistic fiction that portrayed society as it was.

Tom Wolfe was born in 1931 in Richmond, Virginia and has become a best-selling author, who also has written novels that portray society realistically.

Of interest, Tom Wolfe is an admirer and friend of former US President George W. Bush, who has been identified as the reincarnation of the American Revolutionary war hero, Daniel Morgan. The Morgan | Bush case is featured in my books, Return of the Revolutionaries and Born Again.

Principles of Reincarnation & Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance from One Lifetime to Another: Leo Tolstoy and Tom Wolfe have roughly similar facial features. Click on the image to enlarge it.

Innate Past Life Talent: Tom Wolfe has replicated the talent of Tolstoy.

Change of Nationality, Ethnic Affiliation and Religion from one Incarnation to Another: Tolstoy was Russian, while Wolfe was born in the United States. Tolstoy was a Christian, while Wolfe is described as an atheist.
