AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sir, it has been four years, and my father’s Asthi Visarjan (Immersion of Ashes/Bones after Death) has not yet been performed. Does failing to perform this ritual create problems in life? (Specifically, do the people who performed the last rites face any issues?)🌀💫🙂🙏🏻🪷

The keeping of asthis is generally not recommended as they are supposed to attract the spirit of the person who has passed away. But four years is a long time and it is unlikely that anything of him would be lingering still in the earth’s atmosphere.

Still, it is always better to do the visarjan, perhaps in the Pondicherry sea.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The idea of living for the Divine, becoming an instrument of the Divine, must change into a living aspiration for the Divine. It is aspiration, the intense seeking in the heart which converts the idea and mental seeking into a real and a living force of realising it.
