Asthi Visarjan in Ujjain
What is Asthi Visarjan?
The Shipra River’s flowing waters are just what is required in Hindu devotion to the departed souls known as Asthi Visarjan. The ashes and bones of the deceased must be immersed in the flowing waters of a sacred river or lake in this religious ritual.
Many Hindu devotees travel to the Shipra River to participate in Asthi Visarjan, which is performed by Brahmin pandits or Hindu priests. Bathing here or sprinkling the ashes serves to bring peace to the souls of the departed in the family, according to the scriptures. If the remaining family members perform the Asthi Visarjan, the departed’s soul will attain Moksha, or salvation.
Asthi Visarjan is a Hindu religious rite that helps the soul achieve redemption and serenity in the afterlife, thereby fulfilling the aspirations of the departed. It is the responsibility of the living family to do the Asthi Visarjan rite for their dearly departed family member.
As specified by Hindu holy texts and sacred customs, this is accomplished by immersing and dispersing the cremated ashes and bones of the departed relative or family member in any of India’s flowing holy rivers. This is also a way for Hindus to pay respect to their forefathers and mothers.
The holy waters are thought to cleanse the soul of sins, allowing it to achieve moksha, or salvation, as well as a proper seat in the presence of the Supreme Power.
