Why antim sanskar is important for Hindu?

Death is viewed by many civilizations as a culmination of life. As a basis, it really should come as no surprise that the Antim Sanskar is the culmination of the Sanskara sequence of sacraments. According to Hinduism, the actions you take during your life have an impact on whether or not you will be pleased or miserable.

Ultimately, all of your acts will be wiped out at the moment of your death. A cremation of the body is required as part of an Antim Sanskar ritual once the sukshma sareera (consciousness or soul) has exited the body. Essentially, the deeds you have made in your life are represented by the sukshma sareera.

The sukshma sareera’s rebirth will take place in one of 83 various sorts of wombs, each of which represents a different aspect of the sareera’s past lifestyle. This rebirth, however, requires the soul to remain with the family until after the 12th day of their death. The sukshma sareera becomes the preta sareera when it departs the physical body.

Karmas are conducted in order to ensure that the sukshma sareera’s future life is not fraught with misery and tragedy, among other things. A pitra dosha happens when one’s karmas are unable to be satisfied. Family members must feed and care for the preta throughout the days that it remains at the home after death. These food offerings to the soul are known as shraddha, a ceremony in which Sesame seeds and water, which are thought to be the first foods to nurture life, are used to nourish it at this time. Thereafter, on the twelfth day of death, the soul is fed a large quantity of food, but no salt may be added Accordingly, the preta is expected to be upset by both the large amount of food and the absence of salt.

Families also do sabindi karana on the twelfth day after the death of a loved one. Final preparation for rebirth, this ceremony transforms the preta into a pitra. It is customary for four pots of scented water to be filled with water during the Sabindi Karana A fourth pot is poured into the other three pots as a sign of a preta’s transformation into a pitra. Three of the pots are dedicated to the ancestors, or this completes the cycle of rebirth, and our loved ones remain connected to their family in the next life.
