Hi,
I've been thinking a lot about how I could have been an Indian in my past life. I will start out by saying that I am a white American girl obsessed with Indian Culture. When I saw the actor from Life of Pi at the Academy Awards, somehow that started me on this research quest about India. I wanted to know everything. That was a year and a half ago, and I'm now dating my third Indian boyfriend. I feel like I fit in with indians more than any other race. I love indian food, I started to learn how to cook it, I own a saree, I watch Bollywood and Tollywood movies, I listen to the music every day (while doing homework, while getting ready, when going places, etc.), I memorize the songs, I took a Hindi class last semester, I took an Eastern religions class last semester, I have Hindi, Telugu, and Punjabi dictionaries, and I catch on with learning the languages fast. Yes, I'm very obsessed with the culture.
Also, I'm not really religious, but I was very attracted to Hinduism. When I took my Eastern Religions class, I wrote a paper explaining Atman and Brahman. My teacher told me it was the best explanatory paper on this topic she had read in her 10 years of teaching, and that I even explained it better than Eckhart Tolle. This was after I received a C on my first paper on Daoism. I just live and breathe India, and it's very confusing as to why I have this obsession with it randomly. When I started learning about past lives, it started to make me wonder if I was an Indian in a past life. Then I thought about good and bad karma, and how in the first relationships ever in my life, I had the worst time ever with unfaithful guys. It made me wonder if I was an Indian in my past life, woman or man, and was unfaithful to lovers, and now I'm learning my lesson in this life.
Well, the whole long story was to talk about a song that triggered a weird feeling and some strange emotions in me (the reason why I found this site and joined it). I had an Indian bf (now ex) who went back to india last Christmas for a month, and a week after I came back, I found out he cheated on me with a girl named Priya.
Anyway, I listen to Indian songs all the time, and I love them, but they never trigger weird feelings. I then listened to this song "Oh Priya Priya", and when I heard it I felt strange, and maybe almost like a longing or like I missed something. I know it wasn't anger or anything about what happened with my ex bf, because that happened almost a year ago, and I am in a happy relationship now with someone else, so I'm 100% sure that's not it. It was just a weird feeling and made me have almost like chills and numbness, like a tingling feeling. Then I thought, could I have been an Indian man in my past life unfaithful to a woman named Priya, and in this life the karma followed me, and in turn I had a bf who cheated on me with a girl named Priya? Past life, or just a coincidence?
