Hindu Beliefs Know Why Say Ram Naam Satya Hai During Funeral Procession…

Hindu Tradition Funeral Procession, Ram Naam Satya Hai: Many traditions related to Hinduism have been going on for centuries and special reasons and importance are attached to all the traditions. In Hinduism, after the death of a person, there is a law for his last action or last rites. In the last act, the funeral procession of the deceased is taken out and the dead body is taken to the crematorium for cremation.

You must have seen that during the funeral procession, the relatives and the people present repeatedly say ‘Ram Naam Satya Hai’ throughout the way. But do you know why ‘Ram Naam Satya Hai’ is said during the funeral procession and what is the reason behind it?

Dharmaraj Yudhishthir told the meaning of ‘Ram’s name is true’

Dharmaraj Yudhishthira, the main character of Mahabharata and the eldest of the Pandavas, has told about a verse. Its true meaning is revealed through this verse.

‘ Ahanyahani Bhutani Gachchanti Yammamandiram.
Shesha Vibhutimichhanti Kimashcharya Mat: Param.

the meaning is- When the deceased is taken to the crematorium, everyone says ‘Ram Naam Satya Hai’, but after the last rites, when everyone returns home, they forget the name of Ram and get involved in the wealth of the deceased. ‘Ram’s name is true, speak the truth’. Ram Naam Satya Hai is not told to the deceased, rather it is told to the relatives and people walking with the deceased that Ram’s name is Satya. There will be movement only when Ram will speak.

3 main reasons for saying ‘Ram Naam Satya Hai’ at the funeral

• One of the many reasons for saying Ram Naam Satya Hai is that the people present who take the dead body to the crematorium should know that everything in the world remains earth after death. Only karma goes along. Because Karma is immortal like Shriram. That’s why do good deeds while living in life.
• Another reason for saying that the name of Ram is true is that after hearing this word, the attention of the people walking on the road should be attracted and they should understand that the funeral procession is going, so that they leave the road empty for the funeral procession. Because it is considered inauspicious to stop the funeral procession anywhere and hence the funeral procession continues till the crematorium after leaving the house.
• One of the reasons for saying that the name of Ram is true is that it is believed that some of our organs remain active even after death, of which the ear is also one. That’s why the name of Ram in the form of nectar is taken at the last moment. So that this word reaches the ears of the deceased and he attains salvation.
