For years, I have been walking through Bushey church , and one can not help but notice a particularly well maintained grave , surrounded by flowers and other paraphernalia . It always strikes me the 52 year old mother , whose grave it is , is still receiving love and good wishes from her family.

The Vedas recommends offering sacrifices to the Demigods on behalf of relatives who have left this world  , for appeasing the Demigods and pleading on behalf of relatives will  bring them good or better fortune to their departed relatives.

It’s highly beneficial in life  to have friends,  family, and well wishers .  However, the greatest well wisher are  the pure devotees of God  , by their good wishes and directions, all inauspiciousness is removed from one’s turbulent life and karma is  eradicated . By good fortune offered by them and by serving and enquiries to them ,  those  greatest of well wishers , because of their intimate and pleasing services to Divinity have the power to have God listen to their wishes , thus by their grace we can be placed in the Spirtual realms. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
