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.
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.

Surendra: Namsate Swamiji, Aapko mera Pranam, I am living in London and been doing havan for a year and half. In London we don’t get correct wood for havan, so may I request you to send some contact details to get wood from India also if possible I will get the samagri and desi ghee as well.
Swami Ram Swarup: Namasteji. First of all I appreciate your pious deeds to do daily havan which is the best pious deed and worship of the God. Similarly, God is pleased with you because you are obeying His vedic preach to do havan/Yajyen. May God give you a long, happy life.
Secondly, I would first advise you to make contact with nearest Indian store where Havan samagri and wood and ghee will be made available to you. Please contact and intimate the result.
