Guest guest Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 Respected Triptika, In general,I think that,logically, if the soul some how gets liberated ,last rites need not be performed to that soul.Absolute dependence on god /Guru will grant liberation in this very life and I think that that is the belief of Hindus. The best way is to pray to god sincerely to answer ones querry/querries, and show the right path. Only competent Gurus can give any real answer to your questions. Offering my pranams to the gurus of our samstha, With regards, Jagannathan. --- triptika <triptika wrote: > Thank you sir for explaining things. > > * can you elaborate regarding 'Vishnu gotra'. i > somewhare read thatit is perhaps 'kashyap ' gotra > which is taken in such matters. > > *regarding second query -- i wanted to know about > last rite for thoese females -- 1. who have nobody > to perform, can they do themselve before death; 2-- > i was not mentioning those who have embaressed other > religion but married outside their religion as per > countrie's law. also for some practical purposes few > convert on paper but remain with religion of birth > at heart and practice. > > i hope, you ond other learned members will throw > more light on this. > with best regards, > triptika > - > venkateshwara_reddy > > Monday, July 28, 2003 4:12 AM > [sJC: Achyuta Gurukul] Re: Achyuta > Gurukul] Last ritual/rites of Parents ? > > > , "triptika" > <triptika@h...> wrote: > > Regarding orphans, people who forgot gothra-s, and > those are in > similar boats: traditionally poojaaris assign > vishnu gothra.
