Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -HINDUISM. Reincarnation is the religious or philosophical belief that the soul or spirit, after biological death, begins a new life in a new body that may be human, animal or spiritual depending on the moral quality of the previous life’s actions.

Detailed explanation-2: -In Hinduism the process of birth and rebirth-i.e., transmigration of souls-is endless until one achieves moksha, or liberation (literally “release”) from that process. Moksha is achieved when one realizes that the eternal core of the individual (atman) and the Absolute reality (brahman) are one.

Detailed explanation-3: -The concept of Samsara is reincarnation, the idea that after we die our soul will be reborn again in another body-perhaps in an animal, perhaps as a human, perhaps as a god, but always in a regular cycle of deaths and resurrections.
