The Problem
Asthi Visarjan is a sacred and essential Hindu ritual involving the immersion of the ashes (asthi) of the departed into a holy body of water, most often the sacred river Ganga. This final rite is deeply significant, believed to bring peace (shanti) and liberation (moksha) to the departed soul, freeing it from the cycle of rebirth. It provides solace and closure to the grieving family, knowing they have fulfilled a vital religious obligation.
For Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) living abroad, performing Asthi Visarjan presents unique and often heartbreaking challenges. Geographical distance, the high cost and time involved in international travel, visa complexities, work commitments, and sometimes health or age-related travel restrictions can make it impossible to be physically present in India for these crucial final rites. Despite these barriers, the deep-rooted desire to honor loved ones according to tradition remains strong. We understand the emotional weight and logistical hurdles you face during such difficult times.
