[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend is a Hindu and she donates to a charity (and volunteers at a local org) on the day of her father’s death to commemorate the day. She finds in healing and it helps her focus her energy.[/quote]

I am Hindu too. You can do a prayer/puja/havan during the Barsi (1 yr death anniversary), then on the 4th year death anniversary.  Usually you also provide meals to others in remembrance. The first year of death, every month on that particular date you feed roti to a cow or feed the birds and donate grains to the needy.  I give to Manna Food Bank.

Hindus also have a special fortnight for praying for all our ancestors called shraadh or pitru paksha.  My mom sponsors a meal at a local orphanage for the days of remembrance (birth day, death day)  instead of giving to any religious place. we have alters at home for prayers.

we usually share pictures and stories on our family group chat.   At home, we hang the pictures of our departed loved ones and ancestors on the south wall.

In Hindu belief, a person must pay his/her debt to parents, teachers and God.

I loved the idea of donating blood. How beautiful.  [/quote]
