00:00have you ever felt that the world is rushing forward at an overwhelming speed while your

00:06soul seems to drift in an entirely different direction as if everyone around you is part of

00:11a race that holds no meaning for you have you ever had the strange feeling that you have lived before

00:16this life in another time another body and that you've returned now to fulfill a deeper purpose

00:22if you've ever felt this way know this you are not alone some souls walking among us are not

00:29ordinary they are ancient these ancient souls carry a unique glow in their eyes a light not born

00:35of age but of experience when such a soul enters the body of a child their heart and mind are already

00:42awake they are drawn not to toys but to questions who am i what is god why do some suffer while others

00:49smile these are not the curiosities of an ordinary child but the inquiries of a soul that has walked

00:55through lifetimes even the bhagavad-gita echoes this truth lord krishna tells arjuna you and i have

01:02passed through many births this birth is not your beginning it is a continuation modern psychology

01:08supports this notion too dr michael newton's research revealed that some individuals carry vivid memories

01:15of previous lifetimes memories that persist even after the veil of rebirth these are not just people

01:21they are living beacons of awareness shining quietly in a distracted world their mission isn't merely to

01:28live it is to awaken to teach and to uplift often misunderstood they are labeled different intense or

01:36even odd but in truth these souls are chosen for a higher calling and so today we begin a mystical

01:43journey together we'll uncover seven deep spiritual signs that reveal whether you are an old soul but

01:51this won't be a poetic tale dipped in emotion alone each sign will be explored through the lens of

01:57yogananda's wisdom vedic scriptures and modern science because truth requires more than belief

02:03it requires understanding so if you've ever felt out of place in this world or sensed a timeless depth

02:09within you then this journey is meant for you and if you've never found the words for this feeling

02:15comment below i am so we may recognize how many lights like yours are beginning to awaken across the earth

02:22sign one intelligence beyond age have you ever met a child who speaks with wisdom far beyond their years

02:32or perhaps you were that child asking questions at age five that made adults pause in silence

02:38if god is real why are people sad what happens after we die where was i before this life these questions are

02:48not born of imagination they rise from an awakened soul this kind of intelligence doesn't come from

02:53textbooks no curriculum teaches it paramahansa yogananda taught that when a soul has traversed many

03:00lifetimes the essence of those journeys lingers this is called soul memory a reservoir of deep experiences

03:08that resurface naturally in life think back to your own childhood did you feel different from other kids

03:15while others played did you find yourself gazing at the stars or silently reflecting on forgotten memories

03:22this is often a soul remembering psychologists refer to this as precocious cognition when children

03:28display thoughts and emotions far ahead of their age these children show traits like heightened emotional

03:34awareness philosophical thinking and surprisingly mature decision making this isn't simply a matter of

03:41genetics it's the flowering of a spiritual seed planted long ago you may have noticed children who

03:47understand suffering deeply at age seven or eight who observe life like wise philosophers people often say

03:55this child is born old and they're right it's the first sign such souls are not new they are ancient

04:03old souls are connected to a reality that's not visible to the eye but only to the inner vision

04:09they may live in the world but they are not of it their insight their silence and their unusual calmness

04:16can sometimes unsettle others why because they disturb the collective sleep of the world

04:23so if your life began with deep questions if your curiosity was always spiritual rather than material

04:29then you carry this first sign you may very well be an ancient soul becoming aware in this lifetime

04:36sign two a deep connection to solitude but not loneliness do you sometimes feel alone in a room full of people

04:45like the world is speaking in noise but your soul hears a different music old souls do not crave crowds

04:52they crave stillness not because they are sad but because they are listening listening to the truths within

05:01to the whispers of nature and to the silent presence of god yogananda said meditation is divine solitude

05:09it is in that silence that the soul communes with the divine when an old soul sits under a tree it may

05:17appear they are doing nothing but within they are merging with the universe itself in today's society

05:23solitude is often mistaken for weakness or sadness but for an old soul solitude is like a spiritual recharge

05:31just like a phone battery needs to disconnect to power up these souls too regain strength not through

05:37interaction but through stillness modern studies show that old souls prefer solitude 47 more than

05:45the average person it's not because they dislike people it's because they feel more whole in their

05:50inner world have you ever felt most complete when you are completely alone sitting in the courtyard of an

05:56old temple listening to the silence of the mountains that's not emptiness that's awakening you feel it

06:03because your soul understands the language of stillness you've lived through lifetimes of noise and now

06:09you seek the voice within solitude becomes the temple where these souls remember who they truly are

06:16where they gather strength remember their mission and reconnect with that invisible force god peace

06:24consciousness so if you find joy in a quiet sunset more than a party if you choose a book of ancient

06:31wisdom over idle chatter then this is not just a personality trait it is a soul sign old souls are not

06:38lonely they are simply in tune with another frequency because sometimes to stop and be silent is the

06:45greatest act of rebellion in a world addicted to noise so the next time you find yourself in silence

06:51don't be afraid you may not be alone after all you may be an old soul meeting the divine within you

06:59sign three flashes of a previous life have you ever walked into an old building and felt i've been

07:07here before or heard a language you've never learned yet it sounds strangely familiar or maybe it's a sound

07:14a temple bell a certain melody that stirs something deep inside it's as if a door in your memory opens and a

07:22forgotten wind begins to blow these experiences are not imaginary in india dr ian stevenson documented

07:31over 2500 cases of children recalling vivid memories of past lives many could describe their old homes

07:38their past families and even the cause of their previous death most of these cases came from remote

07:44villages where there was no external influence or coaching the memories were spontaneous and uncannily

07:50accurate science calls this cryptomnesia when information resurfaces in the mind without any known source

07:57as if drawn from a hidden archive of the soul old souls often receive these glimpses sometimes during

08:04dreams sometimes in meditation and sometimes unexpectedly while walking through a market smelling a certain

08:13flower or hearing a forgotten chant these are echoes of an unfinished story a soul that

08:20hasn't just been here before but remembers why the calling of an old soul a woman once shared her

08:27experience the moment she stepped into varanasi tears welled up in her eyes she had never visited the

08:34place before yet something about the narrow alleys the sacred ghats and the resonating sound of temple

08:41bells stirred something ancient within her perhaps it wasn't her mind that recognized the place but her

08:48soul while the body was unfamiliar the soul remembered for old souls time doesn't unfold in a straight line

08:57it moves in circles repeating revisiting some relationships left incomplete some spiritual practices

09:05interrupted keep calling to be fulfilled have you ever felt even for a brief moment that you've been

09:11somewhere before even though you haven't or felt that a certain experience isn't new to you that feeling

09:17is not just a trick of the brain it's not mere deja vu it is the voice of your soul a whisper from a past

09:24life a life that remains unfinished a life whose essence still lives inside you old souls receive such glimpses

09:33because they never truly left behind those sacred temples those beloved friends or the quiet corners

09:39where they once felt the divine have you ever found yourself suddenly connected to a new moment

09:45but it feels like something old like a memory returning then perhaps it's not a new vision at all

09:51it's an old memory being reborn today's world is overflowing with noise everyone seems to be in a race

09:57chasing after high paying jobs luxurious cars fancy apartments and digital validation through likes and

10:04shares but old souls those who have lived and seen much more than this lifetime can't run this race for

10:11long their eyes may look at the glittering dreams of the world but their hearts often ask and then what

10:18what after all this they crave not success but purpose not recognition but meaning what they truly seek

10:26is not a salary but a soul touching reason to live to uplift someone's life to comfort a broken spirit

10:33or to light up a dark corner of the world even if only a little in the bhagavad gita lord krishna says

10:39yoga kshemam vahamyaham those who are devoted to my purpose i personally care for their needs old souls

10:47carry this trust within them they believe that if they're walking the right path the universe will

10:51provide what they need have you noticed that whenever you tried to do something just for money

10:56it felt hollow inside but the moment you helped someone without expecting anything or did something

11:02from the heart even if it paid little you felt a deep peace inside that's because old souls don't chase

11:10careers they follow callings they're not choosing job titles they're choosing what ignites their hearts

11:16so if you often find yourself drained by the routine of nine to five but there's a small voice within

11:22whispering you're made for something else then please listen that's not just dissatisfaction that is your

11:30soul sending a signal old souls often feel out of place misunderstood or misfit in today's world but

11:37maybe they were never meant to fit in maybe they've come to transform the system itself if your heart

11:43resonates more with making a difference than making an income if your deepest joy comes from giving

11:48meaning to another's life then you are not an ordinary worker you are an awakened soul an old soul

11:56a soul that longs not just for food or comfort but for spiritual fulfillment excessive sensitivity

12:03and deep compassion have you ever found yourself crying while watching someone else cry

12:08their pain was not yours the relationship was not personal yet your heart plunged into their sorrow

12:16you're not just sensitive you're an empath in modern psychology there is a phenomenon known as

12:23mirror touch synesthesia where some people don't just observe others emotions but actually feel them

12:29physically if someone around you is grieving you feel an invisible weight inside if a child is lost a

12:36mother awakens within you even if you've never been a mother old souls carry the memories of many

12:41lifetimes they've known heartbreaks that shattered lifetimes they've made sacrifices that echo across

12:48time they've borne wounds that don't bleed but never fully heal yogananda once said a soul that has

12:55endured deep sorrow can wipe away the tears of others not with noise but in silence old souls don't just see

13:03pain they feel it they don't just sympathize they merge into it they don't speak they understand have

13:11you ever locked eyes with a beggar and felt disturbed all day or stayed awake at night over the suffering of

13:17an animal this is not a weakness this is not a flaw this is your gift this sensitivity is your spiritual

13:26strength old souls are born to feel the pain of the world not to suffer it but to heal it they know that

13:33compassion is not a choice it's the only real bridge that connects one soul to another if you cannot

13:39ignore suffering if your eyes well up when someone else breaks the world might call you oversensitive

13:46but the truth is your heart is no longer just a human heart it is a divine instrument forged in the

13:53fires of many lives tested tempered awakened and now it beats not just for itself but for the whole of

14:00creation and this is the fifth sign that reveals you are an old soul a soul that the universe itself

14:06can hear sixth sign a divine connection with nature and art have you ever looked at the evening sky and

14:14felt a strange stillness in your eyes a silence that moved you without reason have you ever heard a

14:20forgotten melody from a vena read a line of ancient poetry or gazed upon a painting and felt something

14:27awakened deep within you old souls possess a different kind of vision not one that merely

14:32sees but one that feels for them a painting is not just a canvas of colors it can be a doorway to a

14:40memory from another lifetime music is not just a wave of sound it becomes the quiet voice of the divine

14:47itself many old souls are drawn to the world of creativity not because they want to be seen but because

14:54they need to express something that cannot be put into words they seek truth in colors meaning in

15:00melodies and connection in silence neuroscience tells us that the default mode network in their brains

15:07responsible for imagination daydreaming and introspection is more active that's why they don't

15:13just think they feel they don't analyze art they dissolve into it yogananda once said music is the

15:21language of silence and silence is the true name of god for the old soul art is not an escape from

15:27reality it is a form of meditation so if the sound of birdsong in the forest two lines of forgotten

15:34poetry or the brush stroke of a painting makes you feel in harmony with the cosmos then know that this

15:40is not a coincidence this is the sixth sign your soul was always a creator and that divine creative fire

15:48is still alive within you old souls are often artists but not in the conventional sense they do

15:55not create for fame or applause they create for god because every act of beauty for them is a smile from

16:01the divine seventh sign a missionary view of life do you sometimes feel that your life is not just

16:10unfolding randomly but being designed with purpose as though each challenge each loss each unexpected detour

16:18is shaping you for something greater old souls rarely live ordinary lives there's always a subtle

16:25whisper within them a mysterious calling a mission they don't fully understand but they feel it have

16:32you ever been consumed by the thought that you are meant to do something extraordinary without needing

16:37recognition without chasing power just a quiet yet persistent feeling that says awaken your time is near

16:46that is when the soul no longer craves existence alone it desires contribution old souls don't walk straight

16:53paths often they reject what others consider safe or normal their soul knows that their road lies elsewhere

17:00even if it is lonely yogananda said ordinary souls become part of the crowd but awakened souls carve their own

17:08path and this is what old souls do consider swami vivekananda at just 30 he didn't just speak at the

17:16parliament of religions he gave voice to the soul of india itself but that moment wasn't born overnight

17:23his detachment his silence his inner storms they were all preparing him for that one divine appointment

17:30old souls sense that their life is not random but the unfolding of ancient impressions

17:35samskaras guiding them from deep within if you've ever trembled at the thought that you are more than

17:41just a name or a body something vast and unexplainable do not brush it off this could be the final sign

17:49you are not just living your own life you are an extension of something divine the life of an old

17:55soul is a sacred offering not expressed in words but lived through duty and if even now your soul

18:01whispers in silence i am here for a greater purpose then perhaps that purpose is closer than you think

18:08now that you've heard all seven signs take a moment close your eyes look within

18:13were these just words or did you see yourself reflected in them if three or more of these signs

18:19resonate with you this is not by chance it is likely that you are an old soul an ancient traveler

18:26connected to a pure and timeless purpose old souls are never ordinary their journeys are steep their

18:33inner world is deep and their solitude is often their only companion but when these souls awaken

18:39they shift the course of time some call them change makers some call them saints some call them artists

18:47but they themselves remain silent they simply do their work and when it is done they leave quietly still

18:56unsure then ask yourself one last question does my soul need to say something to the world if a powerful

19:03voice rises from within saying yes i have come here with a sacred purpose then you are already part of a

19:09vast river of awakened souls that has been shaping this world for generations so if you've experienced

19:15any of these signs write in the comments i am an old soul let the world see that awakened souls are

19:22no longer hiding in silence because when an old soul awakens it ignites the awakening in others

19:30if these words have left a mark on your heart if you feel this video was speaking directly to your soul

19:36then share it because someone else out there is also whispering to the universe i am different and maybe

19:42today they need your light subscribe because this is not just a channel it is a sacred space

19:50an instrument for reviving the memory of the soul
