Our holy scriptures say that to immerse the ashes of a loved one in the holy waters of Mother Ganga is to release their soul from bondage and to help their spirit progress toward liberation. It is, therefore, every family's deepest wish to perform this sacred final rite for their loved ones. People travel from across the world to Haridwar, Rishikesh, Varanasi and other holy cities in order to immerse their loved ones' ashes in Ma Ganga's holy waters.

 
   

Therefore, by the grace of Mother Ganga, under the inspiration and guidance of H.H. Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji (Pujya Muniji) IHRF has started a divine "Ash Immersion" program. In this program, pure, traditional, pious puja will be done for your loved one’s remains, at no charge. You will be assured that the sacred rites are performed on the banks of Mother Ganga, according to ancient scriptures, by trained priests, brahmacharis and rishikumars.

 

The program can take place in one of two ways:
1. You can come personally to Parmarth Niketan Ashram, Rishikesh (Himalayas) where puja will be arranged according to your schedule. All boarding and lodging will be provided for you at the ashram. As soon as the new ashram in Veerpur is ready (see page 16), the ceremony will be performed there.

2. OR, if it is not possible for you to make the journey yourself or to send family members, you can send the ashes to us by post, with a letter including the details of the deceased (name, date of death, place of prior residence, names of mourning family members). Puja will be conducted here for you, and an acknowledgment and prasad will be sent to you afterwards.
