Here is another movie song from the movie based reincarnation named Karz(Debt), the guy was killed by his wife in his previous birth and he came back for revenge. This is a very famous song where he is reenacting how was he killed and his wife is a chief guest hiding her grey hair in a wig. @Nihonjin1051


Very funny, thank you.
 
What sort of fun, I believe its a normal genre like many Hollywood movies for entertainment. What do you say.

Funny as a theatrical performance, etc, particularly not understanding Hindi, that's all. I enjoyed it.

The girl dancing with the guy, she is a real maha shakti. I would not mind spending a lifetime with her. :partay:
 
Very interesting!!!

I am really awed that this is something we have in common. You know in Japanese funeral superstition, there are prayers made for the dead every day up till the 7th day. Actually, in the casket, it is common for us to put 6 coins with the dead person. These 6 coins will be used by the spirit of the dead to cross the Sanzu River ; It is a river which the dead has to pass on the seventh day after death on the way to afterlife.

Its common also to visit the grave of the deceased every day after he or she is buried, but its important to pour salt on yourself before you go to your house. A superstition we have , to prevent the soul / spirit of the one who passed away from following you to your home.

You guys have something similar superstitions regarding death and the soul of the dead?

Sometimes when I visit my grandparents graves I kiss the soil... (We don't entirely cement the graves .. Apart from the sides and the tomb stone)...

People have superstitions that graveyards are haunted but I've never seen anything like that and yes I have visited graveyard at night alone...(it was like a mile from my house back in the village...(I was scared but when I went there I saw nothing)...

May Allah bless my grandparents and may the forgive me for my mistakes.. Ameen..

As for mourning .. When a woman is widows she doesn't step out of her house or observes pardah For quiet sometime (months).

We mourn till days .. Till 40 days.. We pray and ask for Gods mercy... Etc


But the Kalah people in Pak .. Celebrate death.. They dance,drink and feast.. They don't bury or cremate the bodies .. Rather they just leave the coffins at a special site..

Originally, we had ceremonial cremation techniques using wood as in the pre-19th and early 20th centuries. Nowadays, crematoriums use electric and are industrialized. Tho there are some ceremonial crematoriums still available.

For us, its a huge ceremony regarding the cremation of the body: we refer to it as Kotsuage and Bunkotsu.

The funeral ritual has twenty stages and there are over 20 procedures, we are mainly interested in two of these: Kotsuage which is the gathering of a person’s ashes, and Bunkotsu the distribution of the ashes.

The ritual starts at the crematoria, the family witnesses the deceased being placed in the crematoria chamber and they are then given an allotted time to return. Once the ashes and have had time to cool the family, two at a time, remove the bone fragments with large chopsticks. They start at the feet moving upwards and placing the remains in a cremation urn – as they don’t want the person to be upside down. The most sacred and significant bone is the hyoid bone, which is located in the neck – probably due the connection between the brain and the body?

The ashes can be placed in more than one urn, it is not uncommon for the ashes to shared between the family, the temple and even the deceased’s company!

The urn stays at the family at a shrine for 35 days and is then taken to the graveyard, some families take it to the graveyard straight away – it appears to depend on local custom.

Its hard for me to visit family tomb now that my grandfather passed away. I was very close to him and the thought that i cannot talk to him , or ever hear his voice again always brings me to a depressive spell. When i found out that he passed away early this year i could not even attend class for a week. I did not attend his funeral because i did not want to see my Ojisan in a casket or bear to see him cremated. I had promised to see him again in December (this coming), but now, i will never see him again.

He was so dear , beloved to me. And now i can never see him again.

My grandfather and my maternal grandfather Passed away just after a difference of a month or so .. And I still ge tears in my eyes when I remember them.. I couldn't believe it when I was told about what had happened... I attended the funeral but still couldn't believe .. After that I broke .. Grief and sorrow came over me n I went mad for sometime.. When my grand father died I went to the graveyard at night (unlike graveyards in cities .. There are no lights there... Nothing).. I was scared when I entered the graveyard...But all that fear went away when I say besides the graves of my grandfather and grandmother and my other ancestors.. It felt as If they were there to watch over me ...

Interesting ! :)

Unfortunately for us nothing like this ! :(

For us its a bit different : When the sun in shrouded in darkness. When the stars are dimmed, when the mountains are set in motion, when the pregnant camels are left unattended, when all beasts are gathered together, when the seas boil over, when all souls are coupled (with their deeds) and when the female infant that was buried alive asks for what crime she was killed. When the scrolls (of men's deeds) are unfolded, when the sky is stripped away, when Hell is made to blaze and Heaven brought near. On that Day every soul will know what it has done ! (81:14)

Be at peace knowing that your grandparents are now in the embrace of the Almighty....

Until the day we meet them again in Paradise, Inshallah.
