The journey of a soul is eternal, but the physical departure from this world is an emotional moment of profound transition.
In Hinduism, Antim Sankar is a sacred duty performed to honour the departed soul and ensure the soul’s peaceful journey towards liberation (Moksha).
The puja symbolises the completion of life’s earthly journey and the transition of the soul to the next realm.
When done with devotion and right vidhi, the ritual brings emotional closure to the family while fulfilling their duties.
Conducting Antim Sankar requires following a certain Vedic protocol and expert guidance. Here’s a general step-by-step guide followed by the pandit during Antim Sanskar:
Vedic Reference: The marriage ceremony is primarily based on the Vivaha Sukta from the Rigveda (Book 10, Hymn 85), which describes the divine marriage of Surya (daughter of the Sun) and is considered the prototype of all Hindu marriages.
