In this conversation, Ma Amba Shivaranjani shares her profound journey from a conventional family life to embracing a spiritual path at the ashram. She recounts her initial encounters with Babaji, the challenges she faced with her family regarding her decision to live in the ashram, how she took care of Babaji during his Tapas, her experiences living in the ashram, and the transformative impact of meditation on her life.

The discussion highlights the importance of spiritual guidance from Guru, Guru Seva, Spiritual growth, Personal growth, and the dedication required to maintain a spiritual practice (Sadhana). She discusses the importance of acceptance, meditation, practicing sadhana, and living authentically while providing advice for seekers on their own paths.

Episode 7: Asthi Visarjan at Rameshwaram: Immersion of Fathers Ashes #asthivisarjan #rameshwaram #dhanushkodi #sacredrituals Episode 7: Asthi Visarjan at Rameshwaram: Immersion of Fathers Ashes #asthivisarjan #rameshwaram #dhanushkodi #sacredrituals

Rameshwaram is a holy place and one of the Chardhams. Asthis of the departed soul is immersed in the holy Agniteertham. I decided to immerse the Asthi of my father at Rameshwaram. It is said that immersion of Asthi in the holy ocean at Rameshwaram helps the departed soul to attain freedom from the cycle of rebirth, thereby achieving moksha or liberation. Asthi Visarjan at Rameshwaram is a very important sacred ritual.

The meaning of Asthi: Asthi is the leftover ashes which is left after cremation. After the cremation, the ashes (Asthi) are collected in a pot and it is tied in a piece of cloth on top. After Asthi Visarjan, the immersed ashes will flow in ocean like a river. This overall process of immersion is called “Asthi visarjan”.

Join us on a spiritual journey to the sacred town of Rameshwaram, to experience the beauty and reverence of this sacred Asthi visarjan ritual.

Namaste!
