Question: Has it ever happened that two souls want to enter into the same family at the same time?

Sri Chinmoy: Absolutely. In the case of twins and triplets and so forth, the souls may have been dying to come together, and then the Supreme has sanctioned it. Often two souls decide to come down together as twins because they are fond of each other and they are ready to make sacrifices for each other.
