. Anthyeshti is the samskara of death. It is believed that at the time of death the soul leaves the physical body through a small aperture in the skull and travels to other worlds. The funeral ceremony is centered around two worlds, the astral world of the ghosts and the world on earth. Hindus cremate the dead bodies and cremation normally takes place in a place of pilgrimage or on the banks of a sacred river to ensure the soul has safe passage to the higher world. Unless justified otherwise by a relation or friend, cremation grounds are usually avoided by people for the impurity they are believed to cause upon mere visits.

Is a Hindu soul always Hindu?
There is nothing like a Hindu Soul. It is just like saying there is Indian water and there is American water. Water is water. You can't say there is Chinese air and Japanese air, air is air. When will we realize the Truth that the Soul is universal energy? The Soul in you and the Soul in me is the same, there is nothing like a Hindu Soul and Christian Soul. Therefore the question about the Soul always remaining a Hindu Soul is fallacious. We have to overcome these mythological questions, these fairy tales that we have been taught. We have to understand the meaning of the Soul, we think we have a Soul but what we must realize is we are the Soul. We are not the body that we wear, we are the Soul that wears this body. When we realize we are nothing but the Soul, Spirit, Atman then we are liberated from this ignorance.
