Jai Shree Ganesha Jai Shree Laxsmi Ma Ki Jai Namaste my son, My very own Ganapati Das
When you are in the Garden think of Mother Kali as the earth and all her companions the crawly things that keep her the earth healthy and full. The compost which makes the garden so beautiful can be compared to the ill deeds of Mother Kali’s Children. That which they do not need. Yet when taken it too is used as fuel for the Mother to go on and on. That which grows in your garden, the flowers and such are like her children.
Nothing is permanent only God. One of the reasons the Hindu burn the bodies( only one of the many reasons) is that the ash is what the Lord Shiva loves the best and can easily be placed on the breast of the Mother. Another reason is because of reincarnation. Let one be born and know of their ashes. I love you and your questions. Love Ma Jai Shree Mother Uma the earth Mother.

Namaste my very dear Ma,
Thank you so much for the gift of feeling you in my heart. It is a taste of that silence I felt when I sat at your feet in person.
I have perhaps a very odd question, but I don’t think it’s that weird.
I’ve been doing a lot of gardening, and fortunately my soil is very robust, filled with worms and all sorts of crawling things. They help make “dead” materials into reusable nutrients, so new life can grow. I’m wondering what the difference is between cremation, and ground burial, where the body is “recycled” into soil. I apologize for the morbidity of this question, and I absolutely mean no disrespect. It’s just that I do see beauty and efficiency in this recycling, which, of course, Jews traditionally subscribe to, whereas Hindus opt for cremation.
With Love, Always your Ganapati Das
