The only answer is good karma. Karmic law is mysterious. One cant say exactly about the karmas needed to be born as a human again. Well one thing matters a lot is that what u think when you die. If you die thinking about your dog. It is certain you will be born as a dog in next life. It seems foolish but is actually true.

Proof: A historic person JadBharat,who died thinking of his deer and was born as a deer in next life even his karma was good. If we die thinking our wife or children n all we will be born among them in next life. Also our 'wasanas'or desires are carried in our next life. One of my sailor friend who tried past life regression told me that in his past life he died thinking of to see different parts of world and in his this life he is a sailor on a cargo ship that visits different nations. So good karma and thinking about god while dieing can be a key to be born as human again..

    It's wrong. That Bharata was not the brother of Sri Rama. He is Jada Bharata son of Rishabha.

  • @TriyugiNarayanMani Do you know about Rishabha he was founder of Jainism, was Jada Bharata part of Jainism since he was son of Rishabha he would have been influenced by his father's Philosophy?

  • @Yogi AFAIK Jain people used to believe that Jada Bharata has influence of his father teachings. But they believe that Bharata had became a Jain monk and obtained renunciation through Kevalya Gyan and hinduism has different version of story.

    @Deepeshkumar You should try to add direct link to or quote from scripture, you can find Jada Bharata story from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (Bhāgavata Purāṇa) here: vedabase.com/en/sb/5/8. Also, you should not use blockquotes for personal experiences - that makes it looks like you are quoting somebody else.
