Married for 7 lives

I have never been a firm believer in reincarnation. I read about it every day. I met people who vouched about it from their anecdotal experience. Following is another experience from my one trip to El Salvador, where I took a cultural trip to see Mayan culture.


I met a couple in our tour group. It was interesting as the woman's name was 'Maya.' They asked me to believe in their tale in the name of their children. Maya described her story in the presence of her husband as below:


"As far as we remember, we first met 3500 years ago. My man was in somewhat 50-60 years of age when he died, and it was a scorching hot day. He was dressed in a classic Mayan tribal outfit. He probably died of heart failure as he was swollen and used to get short of breath easily the day he died. I was in love with him. I died very soon afterward in his grief. I returned to this world 2500 years afterward in old India, where I used to dress in white Saree and wear flowers in my hair. He took another thousand years to get born again. When he asked me if I should have found another soul in between, I replied: my heart didn't accept any other man, but I became friends with another female soul - and became kind of a lesbian until  you and I were born together."
