Premanand Ji Maharaj Debunks Myth: Death on Festival Day Doesn't Mean Forever Ban
- •A common societal belief suggests that if a family member dies on a festival day, that festival should never be celebrated again.
- •Premanand Ji Maharaj clarifies that mourning on the day of death is natural due to human emotions, making celebration impossible, but it's not a religious rule.
- •He states that religious scriptures do not support the idea of abandoning a festival permanently after a death; this is a societal misconception.
- •Scriptures prescribe a mourning period (e.g., 11 days), after which life and festivals should resume normally.
- •Premanand Ji Maharaj advises against blindly following fear-based societal beliefs, urging reliance on scriptural teachings.
Why It Matters: Mourning a death on a festival day is natural, but scriptures don't forbid future celebrations.
