ANTYESTHI SAMSKARA

After working on the art of dying Hindus tried to understand what happens immediately after the death of a being.

Thefirst thing that most of the souls comes across is the utter shock and disbelief.

It does not want to believe that the body is dead. The Etheric body is still around for approximately 12 days.

So, naturally, there is emphasis on the fact that through rituals and the Antyesti rites, the message is conveyed to the soul that this journey of life is over and the soul should head for his next journey.

The body is cremated, the fire is offered by near and dear.
