ke piche chipe tathya, karan v prabhav kya hai? terhvin kitne din bad honi chahie? mrityu pashchat sanskar jab bhi ghar men kisi vyakti ki mrityu hoti hai tab hindu manyata ke anusar mukhyatah char prakar ke sanskar karm karae jate hain - mrityu ke turat bad, chita jalate samay, terhvin ke samay v barsi (mrityu ke ek varsh bad) ke samay. hindu dharm men manyata hai ki mrityu ke pashchat vyakti svarg chala jata hai athva apna sharir tyag kar dusre sharir (yoni) men pravesh kar jata hai. mrityu samay sanskar mrit vyakti ke sharir ko jamin par lita diya jata hai v sir ki taraf ek dipak jala diya jata hai tatha nau gharon men pani v ek ghare men ret rakhi jati hai. sanskar hetu bade ya chote putra ko (pita hetu bara v mata hetu chota) kriya par bithaya jata hai. mritak ka koi putra n ho, to putri, damad ya fir patni bhi kriya men baith sakti hai. mritak ko uske rishtedar v sage sanbandhi sir par shisham ka tel lagakar nau gharane ke pani se nahlate hain. fir safed vastra pahnakar chandan tilak lagate hain. patni thode se pake chaval ko mritak ke munh men lagati hai. fir mangal sutra uski chati par dal deti hai. tatpashchat use kafan pahnakar ful ityadi se arthi banai jati hai. tin katoriyon men jau ka ata rakha jata hai. in katoriyon men se ek mritak ke sir ke pas, dusra raste men uski chati par tatha tisra shmashan men pet par rakha jata hai. sath men jalta hua diya bhi rakha jata hai. mukhya vyakti (use karta bhi kaha jata hai) arthi ko shmashan men rakhne ke bad uske tin chakkar lagata hai v pani ka ghara (jo kandhe par rakha hota hai) tor diya jata hai. ghare ka torna sharir se pran ke jane ka suchak hai. kafan hatakar keval purush mritak sharir ko chita men rakhte hain. putra (karta) chita ke tin chakkar lagakar chita ki lakri par ghi dalte hue lanbe dande se agni deta hai. is dauran brahman mantron ka uchcharan karta rahta hai. adhi chita jalne ke pashchat putra mritak ke sir ko tin prahar kar forta hai. is kriya ko kapal kriya kaha jata hai. iske piche manyata hai ki pita ne putra ko janm dekar jo brahmacharya bhang kiya tha uske rin se putra ne unhen mukt kar diya. ghar lautakar sabhi snan kar shuddh hote hain. jahan mritak ko ant samay rakha gaya tha vahan dipak jalakar uski tasvir rakhakar shok manaya jata hai. dusre v tisre din shmashan se asthiyan lakar pavitra nadiyon men visarjit ki jati hain. dasven din ghar ki shuddhi ki jati hai. parivar ke purush sadasya sir mundva lete hain. fir dipak bujhakar havan adi kar garur puran ka path karaya jata hai. in dason din ghar vale kisi bhi sansarik karyakram men, mandir men v khushi ke mahaul men hissa nahin lete v bhojan bhi satvik grahan karte hain. manyata hai ki mritak ki atma barah dinon ka safar tay kar vibhinn yoniyon ko par karti hui apne gantavya (prabhudham) tak pahunchti hai. isilie 13vin karne ka vidhan bana hai. parantu kahin-kahin samyabhav v anya karnon se 13vin tisre ya 12ven din bhi ki jati hai jismen mritak ke pasandida khadya padarth banakar brahm bhoj ayojit kar brahmanon ko dan dakshina dekar mritak ki atma ki shanti ki prarthana ki jati hai v garibon ko mritak ke vastra adi dan kie jate hain. har mah pind dan karte hue mritak ko chaval pani ka arpan kiya jata hai. sal bhar bad barsi manai jati hai, jismen brahm bhoj karaya jata hai v mritak ka shraddh kiya jata hai taki mritak pitri banakar sadaiv us parivar ki sahayta karte rahen. in sabhi kriyaon ko karvane v karne ka mukhya uddeshya mritak ki atma ko shanti pahunchana v use apne lie kie gae galat karmon hetu maf karna hai kyonki jab bhi koi vyakti achcha ya bura karm karta hai uska prabhav parivar ke sabhi vyaktiyon par hota hai. inse har parivar ko jivan chakra ka gyan v karmon ke falon ka abhas karaya jata hai. varshabhar tak kisi bhi manglik ka ayojan, tyohar adi nahin karne
