Navigating the rituals of Asthi Visarjan (the immersion of ashes) can be a deeply spiritual and significant experience. At Asth- Bereavement Services by RED, we are dedicated to providing families with a smooth and respectful process for this sacred rite, offering online Asthi Visarjan services across major religious sites in India, including Kashi (Varanasi), Ganga Ghat, Gaya, and Triveni (Prayagraj).
The Significance of Asthi Visarjan
Asthi Visarjan involves immersing the ashes of the deceased in a holy river, such as the Ganges. This ritual, which translates to “Ashes Immersion” in English, is believed to cleanse the soul and liberate it from the cycle of rebirth. In Hindu belief, performing this ceremony at revered locations like Kashi can grant Moksha, or salvation, to the departed soul.
Kashi, located on the banks of the Ganges River, is particularly esteemed for this ritual. It is believed that dying in Kashi, or having one’s ashes immersed here, ensures Moksha, offering freedom from the cycle of birth and rebirth. Many individuals make a pilgrimage to Kashi during their final days, hoping to attain salvation.
Key Locations for Asthi Visarjan
The following sites are considered most sacred for Asthi Visarjan according to Hindu traditions:
- Kashi (Varanasi/Benaras): Known for its spiritual significance and the Ganges River.
- Triveni (Prayagraj): The confluence of three sacred rivers – Ganga, Yamuna, and Sarasvati.
- Gaya: Another revered site for performing Asthi Visarjan.
- Haridwar: A significant pilgrimage site on the banks of the Ganges.
Ideal Timing for Asthi Visarjan
While Asthi Visarjan can be performed any time of the year, it is generally recommended to complete the immersion within a year from the day of the deceased’s passing.
Our Online Asthi Visarjan Services
For families who are unable to visit these sacred locations in person, we offer a convenient online Asthi Visarjan service. Here’s how it works:
- Sending Ashes by Post: If you cannot travel to the Tirth places, you can send the ashes to us by post. We handle all the arrangements from there.
- Ceremonial Pujan: Once we receive the ashes, our skilled priests perform a detailed Asthi Pujan (ritual prayer) at the Ganga Ghat. This includes the Sankalp (prayer) conducted via phone or video call for family members who are unable to be present.
- Immersion Process: After the Pujan, the ashes, along with ritual items, are immersed in the holy river. If desired, family members can witness the immersion via live video streaming on WhatsApp or other video platforms.
- Updates and Documentation: Post-ritual, we send photographs and videos of the ceremony to the family, ensuring you are part of the process even from afar.
- Boat Immersion Option: For those who prefer a more personal touch, we can arrange for a boat to carry the ashes to the mid-river for immersion, if family members are present at the site.
