Birth and death, this is the truth that one who is born in this world will also die one day which no one can change. Many customs and traditions related to birth and death are followed in every religion.
When a person leaves this world, many rituals are performed for the peace of his soul. People who have died have attachment to some things even after death, that is why it is said that some things of dead people should not be used. Let us tell you about this.
It is said that clothes, jewelery and watches of a dead person should not be used. Clothes and jewelery are such things to which a person always remains attached. The energy of those people is involved in it. Therefore, one should never wear clothes and jewelery of a dead person. The clock is because that person leaves the world and his clock, his time stops there. Along with this, there are some other religious beliefs also. Let us tell about that.
1. Personal clothing and underwear
The deceased person’s clothes, especially those worn at the time of death, are usually burned or donated. There is a religious belief that these clothes are affected by negative energy (grief energy). From a health point of view, old clothes, especially underwear, can spread infection.
2. Bed, pillow and sheet
The bed, mattress or sheet on which the person is lying at the time of death is often changed or purified. In Hindu tradition, they are used only after washing and sometimes they are donated.
3. Comb, brush and razor
These are completely personal things. These may contain dead person’s hair, skin particles or bacteria. Due to the risk of infection, it is best to throw them away or burn them.
4. Footwear
According to religious belief, other people do not wear the shoes and slippers of a deceased person. These are often donated to the poor.
5. Personal religious items
Like amulet, rosary, Rudraksha, bracelet etc. These should be purified or worshiped before giving them to anyone else. Many times these are kept in holy places.
6. Medicines and medical equipment
The medicines of the deceased person should be removed immediately. Some medicines may expire and their misuse can be hazardous to health. Medical equipment (e.g. spectacles, wheelchairs) can be donated to someone in need but must be cleaned thoroughly.
7. Electronic personal items
Clean mobile phones, watches, purses etc. thoroughly before using them directly. Many families keep them aside for some time and then give them to someone else.
8. Kitchen utensils
The utensils which were used by the deceased person at the time of death are washed and purified. Many families donate them or use them after washing them with Ganga water.
