Originally posted by: leavesandwavesI dont know about others, but many hindu women dont go to cremation grounds. It is considered as men's job. Only recently the trend started, especially after electric crematoriums have become the norm.So far I personally never went to a cremation ground when my elders and others died. It is too much for me to see them burning. I just cant take it. I prefer burial in a casket to cremation. Or just donate all the usable organs and donate the body for research.

Yes I also know a lot of families where the tradition is that women do not go to the cremation ground. Even if the concerned women is a wife or daughter to the deceased.So generally, women bid farewale to the dead body at home and then the men carry on from there.Personally, I do not think there should be any restrictions, and it is ok if people want to change some norms.I was happy that Dsa requested to bid off as a suhagaan. It was very soothing to watch. The woman who believed in dressing up for her man and decided to live simple when he left, deserved the honours of dressing up when her soul was going to reunite with his. That was honestly a nice social message.As for Anandi lighting the pyre, I liked the honours Jagya passed to Anandi. He showed his respect for the bonding that Dsa and Anandi shared.(QUOTE)
Beautifully expressed, Missesha. Though for me it looked somewhat heartwrenching.
Yes, a good concept and good social message for sure.Originally posted by: leavesandwavesThey could have shown donating eyes. When BH people died or when anandi dies. As they own a hospital, it would have looked good.
Originally posted by: leavesandwavesAnandi usually defies traditions and also dadisa. Then why to call the pandit at all if they dont want to follow traditions? Why to follow it according to their whims and fancies?
