Baha’i Position on Hindu Reincarnation

“It is clear from the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh about the nature of the soul and of life after death as published in ‘Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh’, that the Bahá’í position on this subject is wholly incompatible with the theory of reincarnation. We suggest that you refer this friend to the explanation of ‘return’ as given by Bahá’u’lláh in the Kitab-i-Iqan and the statements made by Abdu’l-Bahá in ‘Some Answered Questions’.

“…for your additional information we give the following quotations from letters written on behalf of the beloved Guardian on this subject:

‘No revelation from God has ever taught reincarnation; this is a man-made conception. The soul of man comes into being at conception.’ (To an individual believer, April 1, 1946)
