The Two After Death Sanskars Explained

www.AWGP.us www.AWGP.org Indian spirituality has following five tenets 1. The Atma never dies 2. The Atma is on its journey toward perfection, known as Brahman. During this journey, it undergoes countless rebirths. 3. Each Amta has a duty to the Earth, Vasudhiav Kutumbamak, treating it as one large family—this is the foundation of Karma. 4. We, both individually and collectively, bear the fruits of our karmas across all our births. 5. Every Atma is ingrained with this knowledge, and its realization comes at the time of death, causing an experience of heaven or hell for the past karmas. The two after-death sanskars help the Atma fulfill its last wishes and help us learn important lessons to live our lives in the right way. They guide us to live with awareness and responsibility. The first sanskar is Antyesthi Sanskar or Cremation. In this, we return the body to the elements—just as it was taken, in its purest and most beneficial form. It is an act of gratitude—offering the body back to Nature after cleansing its subtle impurities, as it will be used to form the body in the next birth. This is done through a yagya process where we offer the body into the fire while chanting the Gayatri and Mahamrityunjaya mantras—a quick and powerful method of returning it to the elements. After cremation of the body, the Atma stays with family for a few days. The second sanskar called Marnottar Shraddha Sanskar is to give a send off to the Atma. This is typically done in 3-15 days of cremation. During the process, we express our deepest gratitude and help unburden its karma. As part of the ritual, we offer gratitude and contentment to all our ancestors—starting from Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh, down to eternal divine forces, the Rishis, great kings, deceased relatives, and the departed soul, as well as other life forms. A fire yagya, an act of holistic healing, is also performed to cleanse the home and invite positive energy. By performing these sanskars, you not only fulfill your duties toward the departed soul and Mother Earth, but also create a strong foundation for future generations.
