Muslim men help in Hindu girl's cremation in Varanasi


Varanasi, Aug 12 (IANS): In a rare gesture, a group of Muslim men not only carried the body of a 19-year-old Hindu girl on their shoulders for cremation in Varanasi but also chanted "Ram naam satya hai' along the way.

The incident took place in the city's Harhua Deeh area. The girl, Soni succumbed to malaria on Sunday.

Her father Horilal Vishwakarma was paralysed a few years ago and her mother is a heart patient. Soni's brother is the sole earning member in the family.

When Soni died, the Muslim men living in the neighbourhood came to Horilal's house and said that he should not worry about the cremation.

The men, some of them wearing their skull caps, made arrangements and then carried the bier on their shoulders to the Manikarnika Ghat for cremation.

As per Hindu tradition, they chanted "Ram naam satya hai", along the way. They helped Soni's brother perform the last rites and some of them even gave financial assistance.

Shakeel, one of the men who helped in the cremation, said: "Yehi satya hai (This is the truth). This is the finality of life but we continue to fight among ourselves on petty issues."

    Jesus on good work of Mercy part 2

    Message to Joseph of Jesus and Mary.

    Time and time again the stronger man has laid his yoke upon his weaker brother. What we have now is a world full of injustice, hatred, jealousy, corruption, avarice and the desire to kill.

    You don’t necessarily kill someone physically but you kill with your hatred and injustice. Many lives are destroyed by the injustice of the commercial world of today, where money is more important than man. The big fish always eats the smaller fish, the strong man overpowers the weak, the intelligent takes advantage of the less intelligent, the evil man does evil to the good man and injustice flourishes in the land because there is no fear of God.

    Repent of your sins. Forgive one another because this is the condition for you to be forgiven. Fight your avarice and covetousness with generosity. Extend your riches to the poor, be nice to everyone, and help those in need.

    Do not turn away your mind from the needy, they are your brothers, you will find me in them.

    This is true humanity. Profound truth we experience when we die. Until then we are likely to live in fanaticism for we do not want know nor desire to be lead by the truth. It is high time to tell all Indians what real Ram means and how all can live as human beings no matter what our creed and chant is.
