Guest guest Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 I am learning more! I am glad that I posted the question. Thanks, Devika.Dhananjayan Brahma <abhanaya > wrote: Mr.Devika,It is the general hypothesis that departed soulspresent over, at a height of 16 feet above the cadaverand watch vigilantly the services, gesticulations andcomments passed by the mourner till the funeral ritesare completed (Garudapuranam). It is obvious for thereasons above the mourner touch and worships the dead.Garudapurana further advocates the time durations forcompletion of funeral rites for various sects ofpeople and the procedures to be followed in thisregard. If not followed, they earn the wrath of thedeceased and the possibility of being exposed to‘predha Sabha’ is imminent. On the basis of the above reference one may reasonfor, as why the warring countries share amongthemselves, the bodies of dead soldiers from the timeimmemorial. Presumably for an honorable send off.At this juncture it may not be out of context tomention that after the advent of Medical education,civil / criminal procedures; all these have given agoby to the honorable disposal of dead, results in anefflux in the rate of birth with Predha Sabha. It could be generally observed from among theAstrologers that when one identifies predha sabha in ahoroscope the other questions –that how come it ispossible for the one birth alone be exposed to predhasabha while the same planetary constellations prevailsfor 6 months or more ?! Such questions shall not bemet with simple answers.Dhananjayan.--- Devika Dhillon <devikadhillon > wrote:> Why do people touch the feet of the dead people?> > Thanks,> Devika> > > > Start your day with - make it your home pageSend instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.
