मृत्यु जीवन का अंतिम सत्य है।
लेकिन किसी व्यक्ति क��� अंतिम यात्रा कैसी होगी, यह समाज की संवेदनशीलता तय करती है।
ईशा ने वर्षों से अंतिम संस्कार को व्यवसाय नहीं, बल्कि सेवा के रूप में देखा है। अब यही भावना बिहार तक पहुँची है। पटना के बांस घाट सहित कई स्थानों पर आधु��िक, स्वच्छ और गरिमापूर्ण श्मशान सुविधाएँ विकसित की जा रही हैं, ताकि हर परिवार अपने प्रियजन को सम्मानपूर्वक अंतिम विदाई दे सके।
जो लोग इसे केवल "श्मशान" देखते हैं, वे शायद उस पीड़ा को नहीं समझते जिससे गुजर रहा परिवार सम्मान, स्वच्छता और सहारे की उम्मीद करता है।
अंतिम संस्कार भी सेवा है।
और किसी की अंतिम विदाई को गरिमा देना, शायद मानवता की सबसे बड़ी सेवाओं में से एक है।
Ashes, Silence and Gratitude!
Yesterday I attended the last rites of a dear friend at the govt crematorium near her home, which is presently managed by the Isha Foundation.
Everyone has to leave, but how gracefully one leaves is what matters. She spent her last few days in total acceptance, absolutely no fear of what was coming!
She was not just a friend. At a time when I was struggling with health issues and mentally being low, she pointed me toward Isha Yoga, a step that has had a lasting impact on me!
There were already 2 families before us performing the processes. Clean ambience of the place and just the prescribed govt fees. Simple rituals were done to her mortal remains. Her husband bowed down to Linga Bhairavi Devi photo inside and lit the camphor which was kept on cowdung cakes and dried dharba grass over her.. and then we watched her being gently sent into the furnace!
An overwhelming feeling churned within me flushing out tears, silence wrapping up the whole space - life is so brief, why are we not even aware of this!
And I left the place..
The family would wait for about 45 mins to an hour to collect the ashes. They will be performing the Kalabhairava Karma at Isha - a ritual for the deceased, done by invoking Devi’s grace within a particular time span after death.
Isha currently operates 33 such crematoriums or Kayantha Sthanams in Tamilnadu in partnership with the State Govt.
Before leaving the place, I said farewell to someone whose influence will continue accompanying me, through yoga, everyday! 🙏🏽
@gargiuvacha I recently visited a govt crematorium managed by Isha Foundation and shared my experience. For me the place felt like a temple

Wonderful to meet with Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Samrat Choudhary ji in the Land of Nalanda. Steeped in civilizational glory even as it embraces the Future and continues to contribute significantly to the growth & prosperity of Bharat. -Sg @samrat4bjp
This person talking on Isha running crematoriums is either uninformed or deliberately dishonest.
Isha is not “entering the cremation business.” It has been running Kayantha Sthanams in partnership with government bodies for years, with 33 crematoriums.
In Tamil Nadu, Isha also offers free cremation services for below-poverty-line families. Its facilities use LPG, pollution-control measures, hygienic amenities, mortuary vans, mandapams for rituals, and trained staff.
Why were they invited to Bihar? Because the model has worked.
A decade-plus track record of dignity, efficiency, transparency, and corruption-free functioning is precisely why governments are trusting Isha with more such crematoriums. Bihar is not a random experiment. It is an expansion of a successful model. Similar requests have come from many other places too, because the need is real.
The purpose is simple: dignity in death.
A fixed standard fee, decided by the government, is charged to prevent exploitation. This fee is not randomly decided by Isha. It goes towards operation and maintenance of the facility.
That means the family knows the cost upfront.
No hidden bargaining.
No random tips.
No ad hoc “adjustments.”
No middlemen turning grief into a revenue opportunity.
This matters because everyone knows how crematorium costs often work on the ground. The official rate may look low on paper, but by the time wood, transport, rituals, informal payments, queue handling, priest/barber charges, “tips,” and local pressure are added, the real cost can become many times higher.
Isha’s model cuts through that by putting the cost, process, and responsibility into a transparent structure.
What exactly is the “profit” here?
Cremation is not a money-making business. It is dignity in death. It is a service that requires staff, fuel, maintenance, vehicles, infrastructure, cleanliness, waste management, and operational responsibility. A government fixed charge for running such a facility is not profiteering. It is transparency.
Bihar’s Bans Ghat arrangement reflects the same logic. The Patna facility has 18 cremation platforms, can handle around 50 cremations a day, and the fee is ₹3,500. The point is dignity, order, cleanliness, and freedom from exploitation.
So the real question is not: “Why is Isha charging?”
The real question is: why is he uncomfortable when a corrupt, opaque, exploitative system is replaced by a fixed-cost, cleaner, dignified, government-trusted model?
When the poor get free service, the common family gets a fixed cost, and the departed get a dignified farewell, calling that “premium business” is not fact-checking.
It is propaganda.
It is obvious Shri @pbhushan1 lacks in Intelligence & Integrity but it saddens to see there is deficit in Civilizational aspects too. A case of Trash getting to the Top. -Sg
A very good video exposing the fake narrative of Christmas celebration under attack in India....
Jihadis-Mixed DNA Hindus did it just to give cover to their Bangladeshi brothers...
Every one of us Bharatiyas should hang our head in shame at the attack on the student from Tripura in Uttarakhand. The nation must apologize to the family as this is not just an assault on an individual but on the idea of Bharat itself. The government must ensure justice is served and no such incidents occur in future. -Sg #AngelChakma
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar claims Prophet Muhammad appears in Bhavishya Purana, applauded by Zakir Naik. Hindus must wake up and ask: which manuscript, which century, which parampara? Late insertions dressed as “prophecy” insult Sanatana Dharma. Stop this appeasement please. Lot of Hindus will take it for granted.
HELP‼️ @TrueIndology@AbhijitChavda@IndicMeenakshi
Here is a video of Sri Sri where he is claiming that, Bhavishya Purana has mentioned that Mohmd will come and CLEANSE people of corruption! Zakir Naik is then endorsing it. But when I see the Bhavishya Purana at the specific Shloka that they refer to, I do not see anything like what they are claiming. What am I missing?
The majestic,112-feet-tall Adiyogi Shiva statue, located at the Isha Yoga Complex, is a sight to behold. Fly to Coimbatore to witness this marvel and surrender yourself to the divine grandeur of Lord Shiva.

🚨 HISTORIC MILESTONE 🇮🇳
Indian-born cheetah Mukhi has given birth to 5 cubs, marking the first time in recent history that an India-born cheetah has reproduced.
A man took his ailing son to Puri Srimandir and prayed to Lord Jagannath with tears streaming down his face.
Moments after the prayer, the boy, who looked unresponsive, lifted his head and opened his eyes 😳🥹
MIRACLE 🙏🚩
Art is intrinsic to all of us.
It shapes who we are, how we feel, and what we become.
As Mahindra marks 80 years, watch this delightful film unveiling this year's Mahindra Season of Festivals, and join us in celebrating the power of art, music, and culture.
Namaskaram. Enemies of our Beloved Bharat are at it again. It is upon every citizen of our Nation to be alert and to assist the authorities in preventing such dastardly acts. Profound condolences for all those who lost their dear ones. Blessings. -Sg #RedFortBlast
The leaf
The Leaf that is the
fundamental source of
Power and life to all life
upon this graceful Planet
Here lie at my feet
dry and brown, useless
you think but they
are just ready to empower
the next generation of life
with their fertilizing power
The green leaf a miracle
that has powered all life
with the phenomenon of
Photosynthesis from the
Beginning. Their end
shall be ours too
-Sadhguru
Thank you for bringing this up, @SadhguruJV.
@PMOIndia@AmitShah#FreeHinduTemples
Temples should be managed by devotees, with full control over donations, not the government. Only then our temples will live long with utmost sanctity.
A Deity is a living Divine entity. It is only when a Deity is managed, rituals are conducted, and all other requirements are fulfilled by those who are deeply devoted to the Deity, that a temple becomes an abode of vibrance and transformation. I beseech the Prime Minister of India and all the members of Parliament to correct the anomaly of apartheid against the Hindu community in Bharat. This is not a favour but the fulfillment of fundamental rights as enshrined in our Constitution. Jai Hind. -Sg @narendramodi@PMOIndia@AmitShah@rashtrapatibhvn https://t.co/nwtvIRv7Ve
