The only true devotion is that which is faithfully offered to the parents

- In all cultures of the world, in all religions, fathers are offered in one way or another

Shraddha Paksha is going on among the Vedas in India. With this, the question naturally arises, why can this ritual be?

About 1 lakh or 1 lakh 3 thousand years ago, man came to understand. (Homo sapiens happened), then to avoid the thunder of the clouds in the sky, the flashes of lightning, the torrential rain or the scorching heat or the bone-chilling cold, he began to worship some 'divine' element 'above'. From that, the value of "God" was revealed. So on the other hand, living in the ground, living beings that are, to a large extent, poisonous, he imagined that "demons" live in the abyss. To avoid it, he also started 'worshiping' the divine elements in one way or another. With that, 'religion' and 'ritual' emerged. But, in the true sense, the ritual became customary when, when a young person takes the corpse of a dead ancestor, the young, the old go to the old man, the old man utters a 'mantra' before cremating the corpse, sprinkles water on it and burns the corpse. That began to allow for cremation.

With this came the emergence of religious ‘rituals’, and the elders, who chanted those ‘mantras’, began to have ‘authority’ over society as a ‘priestly class’. A similar movement started with 'marriages'. The "priest" class told them not to live together like animals and birds. There should be a "ritual" for that. In India, the practice of marrying only by witnessing Agni-Veda-Brahman and Punch became the norm.

Such practices are also found in every religion. Fire is not considered inevitable in many religions, for which the geographical situation in which the religion originated is particularly causal. As such, the lack of 'fuel' in Islam, which originated in arid regions, can be considered as the main reason.

Along with this, it is also true that, in every religion, cultures, there is one or the other ritual for the offering of the deceased parents.

In India it is called "Shraddha" ritual. Shraddha means. Shraddhayan Idam Iti Shraddham. "Faith" is important. Faith is, "Whatever I offer." It will reach the parents. In it, the Vedas have tarpanas up to Ekadasha, Dvadasha, Triodasha. But in the tarpana of Ekadasha, in the last pindana, one pind of the king is placed, one pind of the one who has attained Veeragati in wars is placed, it is placed for any person who has attained Veeragati. It is not necessary for the deceased soul to be his own relative, but for the one who has attained 'Veeragati' - I place this body offering all. Similarly, at the time of pindana, it is said ... the last pind "which has no one, of which there is no pind donor. I donate this pind for that person too. '' Saying this, this culture has made a period.

In fact, in every religion, behind the fathers (father (dirghah) = both parents), there is one or the other ritual. Also, at the time of the ceremony, the family must be present. So, they also have to prepare meals for them. In India, Shraddha Paksha is held in Bhadrapad Krishnapaksha. In the meantime, dairy cattle have a high milk content, which is largely due to the sweetness of milk.

The question is, why only sweet dishes? The reason may be that in a bereaved person, the level of blood sugar decreases due to grief. This is actually the sugar that is in the blood. When it is combusted by oxygen found in respiration, energy is produced. There is reason to believe that a sweet meal would be considered inevitable as the sugar level is declining due to grief.

Islam also has rituals after death. Which is called Quran-Khani. Which is customary on the third, tenth or twentieth day after the death of a person. Some even hold 'Chalisamu' on the fortieth day.

Giving this information, a Muslim elder said, "During these ceremonies, relatives, loved ones, sisters, daughters, her family, etc. should be called. At that time, the meal consisted of jalebi or some other dessert. "

Christianity also has post-Kriya, in which black-bread and black-coffee are taken after burial, it has also been found. This is followed by a "Mass" in the church.

In this way, in every religion, the patrimony of the fathers is done in one way or another. The important reason in India is the indestructibility of the soul. The tribes of India are also souls, and they are "indestructible". Believe it or not. If the Aryans know that, it is instinctive.

The culture of Egypt was also known about the soul, in those cultures the soul was called ka ka, and this 'ka' was also considered to be indestructible. At the same time, it was believed that the 'ka' of the same person (deceased) could also re-enter it. So mummies were created, and pyramids were built especially to protect the mummies of kings or nobles. India did not accept the belief that the soul could return, but, for the liberation of that soul, Vedanta was formed, Tri-Patiko was formed.

The most important thing is that India has given Agnidah, it is said that after death, the soul lives in a subtle body on top of that body. But after the cremation, the soul in the micro-body knows that my gross body is no more. 'It's time to dump her. There is a belief that after the rites of Dasha, Ekadasha, Dvadasha, Triodasha, the last 'Panthik-rite' performed on the day of Chaturdasha, the soul falls into the cult.

All that is needed is faith and offerings made with faith, that is why the ritual is called "Shraddha". Especially in the Bhadra-Krishna Paksha, since there is no special work related to agriculture, as well as, at that time there was a lot of milk in the dairy cattle, it is possible that Bhadrapada kept Krishnapaksha as a Shraddha Paksha. Dear reader, have faith that the promise of this culture is that the parents will be satisfied with the offering made by faith.
