In Hinduism, we believe that the soul (Jiva Atma) is eternal and all-pervading. It is a spark of the God we worship. The soul never dies. As Lord Krishna states in Bhagavad Gita: "No weapon can cut It, no fire can burn It, no wind can dry It, no water can drench It." (Ch 2; V3).
Great blessing is derived from observing Pitri Paksh. I urge all my Hindu sisters and brothers to offer prayers in their Ancestors' names.
Below are some very old photos of some of our ancestors who came to British Guiana. May God bless their souls.
