In Indian, hindu tradition, the following is done after death
- The body is cremated in 24 hours
- On the second day, the ashes are taken and within a years time deposed in Saraswati river
- Day 1-9, is known as Sutak. Â (could be longer). Prayers are NOT done for those days in the house and no “diya” is done
- Day 10, the hair of the male son is cut. He becomes bald except for a “choti”
- Day 11 “Pret puja”
- Day 12 “Pind Daan” puja
- Day 13, Relatives are invited for dinner or lunch and the daughters of the family are given clothes, dinner sets, jewelry, etc
- “Besnu” where they relatives and friends come over is done on day 4 or 5.
- Daily from day 2-9 they do bhajan and either Gita recital or recital of Garuda purana
These are the traditions in Brahmin family. Â It can vary from place to place, community and other variations based on resources available
These things do not hold true for a Yogi. Â The above tradition is a reflection of the true death, where a yogi learns to realize his body is not real. Â The same steps are followed in meditation. Â I am unable to give the analogy in a public forum. Â But if you have an accomplished yogi he can tell you.
Talking about an accomplished Yogi – I heard a video where someone explained the word Bharat etc. Â What a joke ! Â Let them be…they want popularity and not God
