Arjun: Why do we cremate adults only on death and not children who are buried?
Swami Ram Swarup: According to the Yajurved mantra 40/15 all the dead bodies are required to be burnt on pyre while performing vedic antyeshti karma. But now it has been a man-made custom that children are buried.

Sandeep: Respected swamiji pranam. I have only one question, What should be the state of mind of a person whether he/she is doing something or not?
Swami Ram Swarup: My blessings to you. Vedas state that all the persons must remain busy all the time, right from morning till the time of retiring to bed. During that time the human-beings have been preached by God in Vedas to do hard, pious work, according to Vedas only with inspiration and devotion. We must never commit sins against Vedas. So, we will have to listen to Vedas wherein we have been preached about pious deeds and sins. Vedas tell that river always flows and does not rest. Similarly, human-beings must not be lazy to take any kind of unnecessary rest.

Anuradha: I am keen to learn or earn the knowledge to vedas.
Swami Ram Swarup: I appreciate your soul’s voice to follow the vedic path, my daughter. But in this connection, either you will have to come here to listen to Vedas and yoga philosophy or seek local learned acharya of Vedas and Yog philosophy because it is fundamental law of Vedas that knowledge is only attained when it is given by some learned acharya.

Meantime, to enter into vedic knowledge, you are advised to study following books, if you desire. You may send your postal address on receipt of which we will send you the books.
