Are there specific important Mantras chanted during Asthi Visarjan?

Yes, the Pandit chants specific Vedic mantras appropriate for the occasion. While the Karta may not chant complex mantras, they will repeat prayers and intentions as guided by the Pandit. Some key elements involve:

• Mantras invoking Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati, and the Triveni Sangam.
• Prayers to Lord Vishnu, Lord Yama, and Agni (who consumed the body).
• Mantras seeking peace and liberation for the departed soul (e.g., mentioning their name and Gotra).
• Specific mantras during the act of immersion for purification and safe passage of the soul.
• Mantras for Tarpan.

Trust the Pandit to chant the appropriate mantras; your role is to participate with faith and devotion.
