Some time ago we were discussing mantras to chant upon the death of the physical body. ... if someone could help me to find those mantras I would be very grateful. Beloved Morningsong,Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and sincere condolences. If there is anything I can do for you , you only need ask. Here is the Q & A with Swamiji that you requested-- 1. Is there a puja for the loss of a loved one. Generally when a soul has left the body we recite the 1000 names of Vishnu. Give your departed relative the highest respect. We would light a candle in front of the person's picture, offer fresh flowers daily, and say at least 1 mala of Gayatri daily in the person's honor. 2. How many times? Should we say anything specific in our sankalpa? For eleven days. The sankalpa would be: "Om Adya Jambudvipe .... ....satyananda gotre, Shri (your name) krtaitat, PITRI SHRADDHAMAHAM KARISHYE." Dear Morningsong, we will pray so that Casey reaches the best state and he can bless you and your family from wherever he is. Love and warm hugsNanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
