Why Hindu do not use term RIP. Rest In Peace.

Muslim and Christian bury dead body.

Hindu, and all branches of Sanatan Dharma like Sikh, JAIN and Buddhist and Yezdi put body on Fire pyre and destroy it so no Black Magic practicer can use body.    

They say RIP

Rest in Peace. 

Their belief is soul is resting in Box till End of Universe. 

In Sanatan Hindu Dharma. , we do not have such thoughts or belief and According to Holy Shreemad Bhagavad Geeta Soul doesn’t die, get wet or burn or dry. 

अध्याय 2 श्लोक 23 यह आत्मा न तो कभी किसी शस्त्र द्वारा खण्ड-खण्ड किया जा सकता है, न अग्नि द्वारा जलाया जा सकता है, न जल द्वारा भिगोया या वायु द्वारा सुखाया जा सकता है |

अध्याय 2 : गीता का सारश्लोक 2 . 23

नैनं छिन्दन्ति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावकः |
न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुतः || २३ ||

But soul is changing body like
e cloths so according to its own Karma. 

Soul goes To different Yoni or get Moksha and merge with Lord Shiva or Shree Krishna. 

“RIP” or “Rest in Peace” is a phrase that you should use for those who practices to bury a dead body and presume that the human is going to rest in the ground till the judgement day or resurrection.

 For Hindus, the belief is that the living being is not a body but soul and the body acts just as an abode for the soul through one life. 

Soul leaves one body and acquires the new one   and the ones who are able to break the cycle of life achieves “Moksha” means salvation. 

Hence, this concept of resting in piece is not valid in Hinduism.The expressions we can use:

 . OM 

· Prayers for the departed soul

· May the soul achieve the highest abode· May soul achieve Moksha· May soul achieve heaven

                                                                Om Shanti 

That is why we do not use term RIP but say OMHindu Need to change its Day to day Habits
