Who was he in his previous life?

Can your elephant paint? Watch this elephant, rescued from abusive treatment in Burma, now paint an amazing self portrait. You'll be amazed at how his talent unfolds.

Unbelievable

My whole family watched this video. My 4 year old daughter (who cannot read yet) immediately said, "How can an elephant paint like that? Who is he? Is he someone else?" This is just an incredible video, a testament to reincarnation at it's most obvious.

Hari Haribol!

Hare Krishna

This is no ordinary elephant. Yes, who was he ? Who is he ?

If this elephant is so artistic, maybe he can be taught to write the MahaMantra , preferable in Devnagri !
He has the Lord's mercy and favor.

Reminds us of stories like ...

1.Gajendra : The king of elephants, a human king in his previous life. Attacked by a crocodile and unable to free himself, Gajendra remembered Lord Vishnu and prayed to Him in full surrender. Lord Vishnu then appeared and saved him. (Shrimad Bhagvatam 8.2)

2. The story of King Nriga , living as a lizard/chameleon in the well at Dwaraka , who remembered his births and the Lord and was liberated by Him in front of His children and grandchildren (Shrimad Bhagvatam 10.64)

3. The 2 trees that were Kuvera's sons and liberated by Damodara using the blessed mortar , and who prayed for being His devotees
(Shrimad Bhagvatam 10.10)

Govindam Adi Purusham Tam aham bhajami
