Hindu Funeral Traditions: Death is the biggest and final truth. Whoever has come to this earth has to leave it one day or the other, but after death only the body dies. The soul is immortal. After leaving the mortal world, she goes on her next journey. After performing the last rites a very strange tradition is performed.

After the pyre is burnt, the number 94 is written in its ashes. There is a secret behind writing the number 94 in ashes. Let us know the secret behind writing this number.

Tradition of writing 94 on pyre's ashes

After the burning of the funeral pyre, the ashes cool down. Then that ash is immersed in the Ganges, but before immersing the ashes of the pyre in the Ganges, the number 94 is written on the ashes with a finger. This tradition is followed by the priest and the family members of the deceased.

Mention of man's deeds in Geeta

The biggest and last truth of life is death. After death, the soul begins its journey to heaven and hell depending on its deeds. Man's deeds have been mentioned in Geeta. There are 100 deeds in a man's life, which affect his afterlife in the afterlife. It is said that man has control over 94 out of 100 actions. It has moral, social and spiritual functions.

That's why this number is written

The other 6 actions - life, death, fame, infamy, profit and loss - are in the hands of God. After death, after the last rites, 94 deeds of a person are burnt to ashes. After this the journey of salvation of the soul begins. Writing 94 numbers on the ashes of the pyre is considered a liberation mantra. By writing 94 on the ashes of the pyre, it is said that the man has been freed from his 94 deeds and now he desires salvation.
