We have seen that usually if somebody died in family then it is said that the mourning family should not cook food until shraddha. But most of these people in India and around the world do not know the reason, Why the mourning family of a dead person should not cook food until 13 days ? and just following the crowd on the name of custom or tradition. So, I decided to do some research and find out the truth behind it and found out some really knowledgeable and must share stuff.

Why the mourning family of a dead person should not cook food until shraddha ?


Well there are two type of belief behind this custom (tradition). One is traditional belief i.e. what people believe and other is scientific belief . We will talk about both traditional and scientific (or ancient) belief with some of its history one by one:

◾Traditional Belief (what people think):


The traditional belief is that it is appropriate to visit the home of the bereaved before the shraddha ("SHRAHD-hah") ceremony which occurs 10 to 12 days after the death depending on the family. During these mourning days, the immediate blood family is considered to be in a state of extreme ritual impurity and bound by several rules. They must not touch or go near the family shrine, must not enter a temple or any sacred place, must not take part in any other religious functions (except funerals), must not recite or read from the holy scriptures, must not visit other family members or friends, must not attend social functions like marriages, parties etc.

On the day on which the death has occurred, the family must not cook as it is considered to be inappropriate to light the family hearth when one of the family member is being cremated, hence usually close family and friends will provide food for the mourning family. Its is for the members of the Bhrahmin caste and 30 days after death for members of the other castes. The ceremony is intended to liberate the soul of the deceased for its ascent to heaven. The guest and visitors are expected to bring fruit to the home of the bereaved. The shraddha is performed at home and the guests are called by phone if they are invited. There is food served but varies according to tradition.

The people return to work 10 to 30 days depending on the service of shraddha, mourning dress, and the eating and behave austerely. It doesn’t have a name but there a rituals that are performed by a priest in a temple for observing the anniversary of the death.

◾Scientific (Ancient) Belief:


The true reason behind this custom is to provide rest to the family of the deceased for mourning, to help them cope with the death of a loved one. In family when something bad happens then all the happiness, hunger and enjoyment went away. If there is no custom like that then mourning family won't eat food properly and this make them ill also. At this critical point , they are looking for a support and company of our loving ones. And with this custom , the close ones can take care of mourning family.

Everything is done by our ancestors purposefully.

  2. The main purpose of Black Magic Spells is to kill the person and it is applied in such a manner that a victim cannot understand or even know what is happening with him. Under the influence of Black Magic Spells, people may become careless and sometime they become reckless and start doing the tasks which are harmful to them.
    This black magic makes victim a fool and this seems like the natural death of the person or we can say victim himself welcomes his death with his both open hands.

  10. I am not sure I could have done it without you. I contacted a real spell caster that helped me change my husband’s heart to love and want me again, and he really did and now we are very happy together. My husband left me for another woman, This was just 3 years of our marriage. The most painful thing is that I was pregnant with our second baby. I wanted him back. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I had for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back , I had no choice than to try it. I messaged the spell caster called dr unity, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before 11 hours. He cast the spell and surprisingly 11 hours later my husband called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that had happened He wanted me to return to him. He also said he loved me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again.thanks to dr unity . if you are here and your Lover is turning you down, or your husband moved to another woman, do not cry anymore, contact Dr.Unity for help now..
