Raaz Pichhle Janam Ka is Indian reality television series, on NDTV imagine , based on the technique of past life regression , with participants ranging from celebrities to common people. The show is hosted by actor, Ravi Kishan, while the past life regression sessions are conducted by Mumbai-based psychologist Dr Trupti Jain.Apart from common people selected through phone-in, many celebrity have also been roped in by the channel, notably Sekhar Suman (already aired), Monica Bedi (December 14), Celina Jaitley and Nauman Sait.
The show opens with the guest explaining a particular problem, usually a fear he or she is facing and wishes to find a solution or insight into. Thereafter they are taken through an extended past life regression session, edited for television.
The procedure as explained by show's therapist, Dr. Tripti Jain, the patient are first taken into in a state of progressive relaxation, followed by an alpha-theta meditation through the visualization of light and then supposedly 'taken back' into the past to know the reason for things that trouble them in this birth. Some of the events are dramatized as the participant narrates certain incidents, and in the end talks about the experience.
Many of the participants have supposedly recalled information from the past. The best example is that of Swati Singh (Episode-1 participant) who correctly recalled information about the 1966 Air India flight 101 crash incident (24 January 1966), in which she claimed that she was an Indian sailor named Singh, and in this flight the eminent Indian physicist Dr. Homi J. Bhabha had also died.
Some people and organizations have raised doubts over the credibility and reality of the show. Much of the past-life regression process is also not shown on television, so it can't be confirmed whether the process is real or not. No explanation has been given by NDTV Imagine in this regard.
Bharat Jan Vigyan Jathan, an independent Indian organisation, has got issued a statutory notice by the Punjab and Haryana High Court to NDTV Imagine TV Channel (a copy of which was also issued to the Information and Broadcasting Ministry of India for allegedly spreading superstition through Raaz Pichhle Janam Ka. It also asked the channel for a public debate in the presence of experts and scientists and prove its credence scientifically.
The case is currently pending in the courts, and no mandate has yet been given.
The show had begun on 7 December 2009 and will end on 8 January 2010.
