Hindu religion believes in the Astral body along with the Physical Body of every being that is borne. When the physical body exhausts and expires, it is also believed that the astral body attached to the physical body made of sacred five elements (Pancha-Maha-Bhutas) will not be freed to its ultimate salvation unless the physical body is cremated and reduced to ashes i.e. to the Five Elements that formed it. This unwavering belief for centuries has its root in the cyclical reincarnation of the soul that Hindu philosophy establishes. All this demands a proper ritual to be conducted to cremate the lifeless body, properly and with firing wood pyre, particularly.
