[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. As a Hindu, there is no grave. The cremated remains (ashes and whatever bones remained) was immersed in a river. The body is temporary, the soul is permanent. The body is destroyed and dispersed as million pieces of ashes so that the soul cannot follow it or remain attached to the dead body. It needs to move on. How do we connect with our ancestors? We have a period every year where we pray for our ancestors and give them food and drink, also practice charity in their names. [/quote] Why give ancestors food and drink? They are dead. How is this any different the going to their grave. I guess just different ways to honor them but same sentiment. [/quote]
