Gaya Pind Daan

This is the Hindu belief that after the death, soul of human being still remain in this materialistic world. Just because of the loss of body (due to death) someone can not detach himself / herself from this world. The pull of Love, kindness, affection for his / her family, friends, relatives etc. and the affinity for the materialistic world prevent him to go for the extreme and ultimate departure. As a result, being a bodiless state that man (without body) gets pain. He wants to do many things but can not. They can not or even do not want to make themselves free from this materialistic world. ‘Pind Dan’ according to Hindu Belief Gives them an ultimate relief and paves the way for their departure to the ultimate world of Peace.

Gaya is extremely Holy place for offering of Pinds.Pinds are offered in personalised way on your behalf on the Foot print of Lord Vishnu, on Akshya Bot and beside the River Falgu maintaining proper Hindu religious customs so that the Departed soul of the Dead persons rest in peace permanently. In many cases it is happened that if someone is died unnaturally (unnatural death due to accident, suicide, murder or get killed) then his/her unsatisfied spirit can not go to the super natural world (his / her “Atma” i.e. soul do not get ‘Mukti’ – freedom) and comes to this materialistic world again and again and sometimes try to frighten people in many ways.
