Do you believe in reincarnation?

I have heard about seven janams as well…what about that? what happens to the soul if it doesn’t get moksha and its seven janams are up? Is the only seven janam concept even there in Hinduism first of all or someone just told me aaisay he :s…? and then if people or their souls don’t even get to that stage then what? does that mean the world never comes to an end according to your religion? but if there are new souls made in this era then that means their cycle of rebirth starts fresh now so that does mean the world according to Hinduism doesn’t come to an end…please clear my confusions…

I think thats more a myth propagated by movies/books rather than religious scriptures. I have not read a single Hindu scripture that talks about “7 births”.

However, I can see the intent behind that myth. A soul gets only “so many” chances on earth to do good deeds (karma) and make their place in heaven. After a finite number of chances on earth (7 in case of this myth), they would go to either heaven or hell.
