Birth Death Cleansing Process Duties Hinduism

Many in India may know of 'Pial' (திண்ணை) , a small portion of a Hindu's House and a Walk way connecting main hall of the House,

ரேழி.

It is normal for one to hear in a house hold(especially in a Brahmin House hold),

'Are You in the walkwa"y-ரேழி , when one pretends to be ill or shows off pain when , when not really that sick.

"உன்னை என்ன ரேழிலே போட்டிருக்கா "

It is an allusion to the practice of moving one who is very sick and might die in a matter of days(in their opinion) -there have been people in that stage even for years).

Then when the Death is expected in matter of hours one will be moved to the Pial(திண்ணை )

Opium,Marijuana Hinduism Aghoris

There were two types of Drinks.

One is Soma Bana and the other is Sura Bana.

The Soma Bana or the Nectar of the Plant Soma was used for Homas and drinking Soma Bana was sanctioned as it is not an Intoxicant.

The other is Sura Bana which induces intoxication and it was classified as a Sin to drink it......Those who perform Aabhichara Pooja( the performance of worship where corpses are used often quote this mantra from the Lalita Sahasra Nama.

"947 Pancha pretha manchadhi sayini – She who sleeps on the cot made of five corpses".

This is literal translation.
