Sikh Religion Does Not Say That A Dead Body Has To Be Cremated!

Interesting. It's interesting to note Geronimo's remains were stolen by the Skull and Bones Society at Yale, probably has to do with this kaala jadoo nonsense.

Agreed, I'm not a fan of this magic nonsense which seems to have become so widespread amongst a lot of Sikhs nowadays - it's exactly the kind of rubbish that Guru Nanak broke away from, one of the main reasons he formed Sikhi was to stop people from believing in superstitious rubbish!

Yeah, if you're out at sea you can throw the body into the ocean. If you live in a desert, bury the person. Cremation is prefered because it is cultural (in India) and it stops people praying at graveyards to dead bodies.

The body is simply an empty vessel. It returns to where it came from.

That's a good point veerji, cremation prevents a physical location which people can go to to "pray" or revere the dead body for example. I guess in that sense, cremation helps people to move on after a loved one's death.

Yeah GurSikhs are obviously not supposed to be fans of these things, but I do believe they exist.

It's interesting to read about though.
