I have always heard from my grandparents that we have done some punya in our previous life and that is the reason why we have got Jain as our religion in this life. is it true?
Yes, if we are taking birth in non-violent religion, definitely we have done something for it in earlier life. In our daily life we see it. If you keep your mind in negative thoughts pattern for long time, your next few years will be full of miserable circumstances. We get what we sow.
Most definitely. Every soul has passed through countless lives carrying with it the accumulated effects (karma) of its deeds and passions, good and bad. Whatever your grandparents have told you is correct.
