Back in the 1950s, the cure for smallpox was not available and in the remote villages in India, medication was scarce and so was its knowledge. In the Kosikala village, Nirmal as a young boy, son of Bholenath Jain died of smallpox. A year later in 1951, a son was born to B L Washarney in Chhata Village and was named Prakash.
Now little baby Prakash or his parents had no connection with Kosikala village nor did they know Bholenath Jain. But when Prakash grew up to be four and half, he started remembering his past life and started to say that he actually is from Kosikala village and that his father is Bholenath Jain. He wanted to go back to his old house. No one paid any heed to the baby.
A couple of years later, Prakash's uncle took him to Kosikala to prove that there was no connection but when he returned to his own village the boy started to remember a lot of things. However, they could not meet Bholenath Jain. This irked his current parents and they tried to put all this behind them. But in 1961, Bholenath Jain travelled to Chhata village and heard of the boy named Prakash. When he visited the Washarney family, Prakash recognised him as his father and shared many incidents.
