Hello Damithu,
It is quite likely that you had a previous life in Sri Lanka (within the current ‘human bhava‘). As you may know, a human bhava (human existence) may last many thousands of years, with the same manomaya kāya (‘mental body’ or ‘gandhabba’) repeatedly reborn with different physical bodies.
- Thus, one can carry memories from life to life within the same human bhava.
- You are probably vaguely recalling a past life in Sri Lanka (within the current ‘human bhava‘) when you engaged in battles.
- These ‘memories’ fade as one ages. Some children can recall things in even more detail, with names of people and places in a previous life. There are many such accounts that have been studied by Ian Stevenson, a professor at the University of Virginia (now retired). Those studies are published in a book: “Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation.”
- If you are interested, I can provide more references, but you should do that after your exams.
