The view of seeing death instead of wearing white clothes in sitting is changing
- Osho followers burst firecrackers at funeral processions
- Occasional
- Declaration that secular transactions are closed or the seat is not kept as per the wishes of the deceased. can be seen
Don't wear white clothes to come to Besana or all worldly activities are closed or the Besana has not been kept according to the wishes of the deceased as people have been writing in Besana advertisements. Not wearing white in Basana is a very bold and welcome move.
White clothing is a symbol of mourning. People are used to seeing job advertisements in newspapers but now instant messages are delivered to the nearest people on social networks. Some of the basanas and sraddhanjali texts are very poignant. Some write that he came to this earth and took leave after completing the work assigned by God. Some call death the consummation of life's festival, while others call life's journey subject to karma.
Followers of Osho Rajneesh perform final pilgrimage with dhol waja as he believes that we are entering a new life. It is customary for us to do jagatiya there. In which the person who is going towards the last stage of life calls his relatives and greets them and also gives favorite gifts. We say there kal kare so aaj because we do not know what is going to happen in the next moment. Yet it is natural that death drags us into mourning. If someone dies at a young age, there is nostalgia in the family. But when someone dies at the ripe old age i.e. after 70-75 years, it is said that he has left the garden and the boy is a boy at home. There is less mourning atmosphere here.
Recently in Vadodara, there was a situation like war horse in the cremation yatra. People stopped to see this funeral procession. This cremation procession was accompanied by dhol nagara and people danced in front. The cremation procession was decorated and garlands were flown. We have been using the word 'Smashan Vairagya' there. That is, those who go to the crematorium are worried about their future for some time.
He is seen stuck between what he brought and what he is going to take. Relationships other than personal relationships have come to be preserved. Most of the people are looking at mobile phones and talking about stock market even in the crematorium. His face looks grim for a few minutes, then the grimace fades as he walks out of the crematorium.
The talk of welcoming death is now being accepted. In the hospital, the elder who has been in the ICU for a long time is served by keeping the people as long as he lives and the soul is sent away amidst chants of Mahamrityunjaya Japa. Post-death mat practices and death feasts are disappearing. Some practices were like age se chali aati hai and some practices were not accepted by the new generation. Once Rudali was a practice in Rajasthan.
In which a group of women were seen beating their chests and shedding tears saying hi...hi for the deceased. Their cries made the area gloomy. A film was also made on Rudali's life. Death is certain but no one knows when it will come. The narrators sing a mystical hymn that..
Who can know the times?
How will tomorrow morning be?
Similarly there is another ancient hymn that
Sakhi Aaj Lhavo Lijiere,
Who has seen tomorrow?
