The life of a Hindu starts with rituals and ends in rituals and kirya karam is one of those important rituals so today in this article discuss the Kriya karam ceremony. It is the last ceremony in the life of a Hindu. It is the ceremony that prepares a person for his or her last journey.

Irrespective of the fact that whether our deeds are good or bad, they are our only companions in the continuous cycle of reincarnation.

Kriya means an activity or a ritual. The term is used to describe that these ceremonies ensure that the dead person gets moksha. It ensures that the people moves to a new life and let’s go of all that he or she possessed in this life.

The Basics

After the death of the person the eldest child of the deceased places an oil lamp on the body and then takes it for the final bath. The relatives of the same gender give the final bath. Then the deceased is wrapped in a white cloth. Some cover the body with a good and expensive cloth or a saree too. The body is then placed on a platform made with bamboos. The feet of the dead body should point towards the South. The head of the dead body should be towards the North. This is so since the south is the the Lord of death.

The people visiting can place flowers on the dead body before it starts the last journey. Tulsi leaves are placed in the mouth and on the eyes of the dead. The members of the family pour Ganga Jal or the  into the mouth of the dead. The dead person is carried by four men of the family on their shoulders though more people can also join in. They are supposed to recite “Ram Naam Satya Hai” or the “Name of the Lord is the only Truth” while they are going to the cremation ground. One person must hold a pitcher with burning ashes and lead the procession.

 

Cremation

The Hindus have a tradition to cremate the body. It is burnt so that the body gets back to the five elements that it is made up of. It is the best way for the soul to get free and move to a new life as per the Hindus. The five elements fire, water, earth, air and ether are also used in the ceremony to symbolize the same.
