    Rites and Ceremonies

    ritten by: Jacob N. Kinnard

    e most fundamental of all rituals in Hinduism is sacrifice. Sacrifice was the primary religious activity odic period, and although the concept of sacrifice has undergone dramatic transformation as Hinduism hveloped over the past few thousand years, it remains the bedrock of the tradition, and Vedic sacrificesntinue to be performed throughout the Hindu world.

    dic sacrifice is a highly structured affair. Strict rules govern the purifying preparations for the Brahminests, construction of the altar, the preparation of the offeringin the contemporary world, various vegd grain offerings, particularly ghee (clarified butter)and the performance of the ritual itself. All of thisfy the gods and thereby maintain order, or dharma.

    e ascetic challenge to the Vedas, as embodied in the Upanishads, on one level rejected ritual action as nducive to ultimate salvation. On another level, however, the Upanishadic renouncers took the basic idthe sacrifice and internalized it, taking the transformative heat of the fire sacrifice and turning it into thrifying heat of asceticism. And although the Upanishads openly rejected ritual, even the act of becomin

    nouncer is itself a significant ritual. When one becomes nouncer, one essentially performs one's own funeral: the sacred thread is cut, one's normal clothes arechanged for the ascetic's minimal garb, the hair is shaved, and all of these objects, representing the trapworldly life, are burned. This is a symbolic cremation. The ascetic, through this ritual, is now understodead to the world, and when he or she physically dies, no cremation is performed.

    Many Hindu rites and ceremonies take place in a temple setting anected toward a god or goddess, but by no means do all such rituals take place in the temple; indeed, mndu rituals are distinctly domestic affairs, taking place in individual homes. And certainly not all rites remonies are directed toward the gods and goddesses. Virtually every aspect of Hindu life, in fact, is mritual actions.

    Death is a critical moment in the life of a Hindu, not only because i end of life, but also because it marks the transition to the next life. The shraddha, funeral rites, theref

    mong the most important rituals in Hinduism. Such rituals are called samskaras, rites of passage. It is utportant that the rituals associated with deathnot only the cremation itself but also the preparation of rpse and the purification of the surviving familybe performed properly, because if they are not, theceased may become "stuck" between this life and the next, and remain in the world as a preta, a ghost,unt the surviving relatives.
