Why might the quote, Bhagavad Gita 2:13 "As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A self-realized soul is not bewildered by such a change" be used in Hindu cremation?

Sagot :

The quote as stated above from the Bhagavad Gita would be used in a Hindu cremation, because in Hinduism, they believe that when a person dies, they are reincarnated, and their soul becomes a part of another's and this is all based off of their belief in Karma as well.
