wow, my question brought up a complete discussion, never intended to do
that, but I guess, now we all have something to talk about ;-)
Anyway, I think I'll stick to this explanation, just for the ease of
it :) .. hmm...I wonder what would have happened if HE had been
buried...I guess we all would wonder where he would have been buried etc..
so, I guess that's one advantage of cremation...he was cremated right ?
(YES, I know, I should buy the Mahabarat and read it, but I haven't
found any yet..)
