Spiritual science underlying post-death rites (Booklet)

Dharma (Righteousness) has formulated various religious sanskārs or rituals, to enable mankind to get closer to God through the medium of various events that occur from birth to death. Amongst them, the post-death rite is the final sanskār. Many times, the funeral rite is performed merely as a formality laid down by the Scriptures or as a part of fulfilling a duty towards the family. When an individual understands the precise science underlying an act, his faith in the act increases, he realises its importance and this encourages him to perform the act with enhanced faith. Performing the post death rites helps reduce the possibility of the deceased individual or ancestor tormenting the family members or the subtle body of the ancestor being enslaved by negative energies. This Holy booklet explains the spiritual science underlying some post-death rites and how to overcome obstacles faced by the subtle body of the deceased person during its journey after death.
