Burial of Dead Saints.

[Guest guest]

Om Nama Shivaya,

Dear Babaji,

 

I read the following article by Sri Saibaba, does this help us to

know why dead bodies of ordinary persons are burnt, and why

sages/Saints are not but buried??? ( may be you can refine why based

on the following i suppose ).

 

our body consists of nine varieties of " Vayu " , the tenth Vayu is

called as 'MAHAPRAN " . Among the nine vayus, which includes Pran

there, are four external Vayus. - i.e. Vayan, Apan, Saman and

Udan. They remain within the cavity of the body. Naag, Koorma,

Krukala, Devadatta and Dhananjaya are the names of internal vayus.

They operate in the arteries and veins. " Apan Vaayu " resides in the

cavity below the naval point. Behind the naval center resides

the " Saman Vayu " . Near the cavity next to the heart resides " Prana

Vayu " . " Udana Vayu " resides in the cavity near the neck, while

the " Vyana Vayu " pervades the whole body and maintains the balance of

the movements of other vayu.

 

How does a man die The 'Apan Vayu' below the naval center attacks

the 'Saman Vayu' which lies behind the naval center. Consequently

the 'Saman Vayu' leaves its place and moves to a side. Now

the 'Apan Vayu' attacks the 'Udana Vayu' in turn throws the 'Apan

Vayu' downwards. Due to this pull and push there are two results

taking place. There are peculiar noises in the throat, this is what

is called the last action of the vibratory sound before life departs

from the body. The second action is while the 'Apan Vayu' is being

pressed down, the 'Pran Vayu' moves upwards by the pressure and when

this pressure becomes unbearable the 'Pran' leaves the body. After

these external Vayus leave the body the five inner Vayus begin to

leave. But since they reside in the tanmatras they take time to

leave the body, that is why even when the 'Pran' has left the body,

the body does not become cold but maintain the heat

till 'Naag', 'Kurma', 'Krukal' and 'Devadutta' leave the body.

 

The 'Dhananjaya Vayu' does not leave the body until the body is

burnt to ashes or buried underneath the soil and gets mixed with the

soil. Because 'Dhananjaya' resides in the cavity of the skull and the

tanmatra, it does not leave altogether and until the skull is burnt

or disintegrated it remains there. The thing that flat between the

no man's land and the two planets, when they cross the barrier of the

gravitational force and get into some speed, they remain in that

field moving for ever. They cannot by themselves change their

speed. For that reason in that no-mans layer there has to be some

kind of external thrust, then only these floating things get speed

for them. In the layer of no-mans land and the 'Dhananjaya Vayu' of

a man, there are memories floating around various lives.

 

The same force, hence 'Pran' which is in the middle, suffers. Though

a disciplined yogic life the 'Dhanjaya Vayu' gets blown up and

activated. The memories in Dhananjaya get pushes about and they get

activated and they collide with other memories and the various broken

memories get speed. All the memories get awakened in this turmoil,

we gradually get to know why are the events taking place like this.

Then we become aware of the act of discretion, how events should take

place, that is how they get churned. This awareness to accept and

reject memories according to our discretion is given to us by our

Guru.

 

Shivaya Nama Aum.

Thiruchitrambalam.

Senthil.
