Bury or Burn

Bury or Burn
Hinduism is not like christians or islam which preaches a concept of the day of doom when the god will ask all of us to arise from the tomb and then decide who will go to hell and who will go to heaven. It will take god million years.We are more of a scientific religion, which understands that the body is just a part of our journey and it has to get decomposed. So instead of burying it here and there we burn it.Also it is believed that a kid before the age of upnayan is not reborn [as per vedic concept] so he doesn’t have to be burnt with all the kriyas and karmas [rituals] like a grown up person who has had the upnayan sanskara.Also a kid is not believed to develop a personality so after death no bhut or ghost of it can exist and it gets moksha immediately. But for a grownup a separate personality is considered and all the kriyas and karmaas are important or else he doesn’t get moksha from this yoni.Few people think that death in childhood is nothing but the remain small part of his previous life and so nothing is required to do with his body except burying it.
