Friend committed suicide about a week ago. Going to Hindu rites tonight. Will participate. Hinduism is more cultural than theological -more about actions than belief. Nehru said one can actually be atheist and Hindu at the same time. I don't really consider myself Hindu, but I appreciate this lack of dichotomous thinking. Comments welcome...
I am sorry for your loss. I always keep in mind that funerary rights are not for the dead but for the living, as a way to move forward from the loss of a loved one.
Sorry for your friend's loss. They must've been hurting.
Yes, thank you!
