Significance of Asthi Visarjan
- According to Hindu scriptures, immersing the ashes (Asthi) in sacred rivers helps the soul attain salvation and move towards peace.
- If Asthi Visarjan is not performed as per Vedic traditions, it is believed that the soul remains unsettled.
- Performing this ritual seeks the blessings of ancestors and helps in ensuring prosperity for future generations.
Procedure for Asthi Visarjan
- Collection of Asthi (Ashes & Bone Fragments):
- After cremation, the remains of the deceased are collected either on the same day or on the 3rd, 7th, or 9th day.
- These remains are tied in a piece of cloth or stored in a mud pot (Kalash).
- Choosing the Sacred Water Body:
- The ashes are immersed in a sacred river, such as Ganga, Yamuna, Godavari, Kaveri, Narmada, or Triveni Sangam.
- Performing the Rituals:
- A Pandit performs a small puja before the immersion, chanting Vedic mantras for the peace of the departed soul.
- The ashes are then slowly immersed in the flowing water while offering flowers and prayers.
- Tarpan and Pind Daan:
- After the immersion, Tarpan (offering water to ancestors) and Pind Daan can be performed for the ultimate peace of the soul.
Best Time to Perform Asthi Visarjan
- Asthi Visarjan should ideally be performed before the 10th day after cremation.
- The 3rd day after cremation is considered the most auspicious for collecting Asthi.
- If not possible earlier, it must be done within a year, preferably during Pitru Paksha or on Amavasya (new moon day).
