Achyuta Gurukul] Last ritual/rites of Parents ?

[Guest guest]

Respected Gurus,

 

i too want to know few things in regard to last rites ,kindly enlighten.

 

we are not much aware of these rituals in regard to 'orphans'. suppose somebody

has no known blood relations, in that case what can be done. somewhere i read a

remark that one can perform own 'last rites' whileliving. is it possible ? where

to find details ? also is it a valid thought ..advanse booking for after death

results ??

 

one more important query in mind..what about females. in todays world many live

a lonely life or suppose marry outside religion bt still they can have faith in

' hindu rituals'. also if a woman has nobody to perform last rites.. what she

can do for not being trapped in ' pret yoni'.

 

kindly clarify and give sources to get more information on the subject. also is

it necessory to know ' gotra' for last rites too. how to know if it is not

known already like in above mentioned cases of orphan etc.

 

with thanks and best regards,

triptika

Regarding orphans, people who forgot gothra-s, and those are in

similar boats: traditionally poojaaris assign vishnu gothra. No

constraints.

Hindus wont have any 'faiths', nor 'beliefs' if we understand the way

how christians undestand these concepts.

 

Conversion from one 'religion' to another, meant a rejection of one

set of beliefs and practices(recall secular gospel: actions are

embodiments of ones beliefs) and embracing another on grounds of

TRUTH and FALSITY. That is, the believers not only believed in the

*truth* of their beliefs, but it was also vital and necessary that

beliefs were so believed.

 

Christianity never understood Roman pagan traditions and Indic

traditions after 1000 years of hiatus. Just lumped these

into 'paganism', 'hinduism', 'buddhism', 'jainism' as false set of

beliefs.

 

beliefs and faiths are ingradients of these *ism-s, thanks to Indian

education, but not for the practioners in our saampradaaya-s.
