Ngaben The Return of Panca Mahabuta


The Ngaben Ceremony is generally defined as the cremation rites. Etymologically , it could be false one, because there is a tradition of cremation is not through cremation. Ngaben indeed comes from the word meaning beya(cost) or provision, said beya in active sentences (an activity progress) becomes meyanin. The word meyanin has become the common word to mention ceremony sawa wadhana. May also be called Ngabeyain. The word is pronounced with a short, later becoming a cremation.

 Generally, the magnitude of Cremation is to process the return of Panca Mahabhuta in nature and deliver this great Atma (spirit) to the nature of Pitra by deciding the body. With a decided passion for Atma (spirit) and his world, he will be back in its natural, i.e. The nature of Pitra. So, ragha sarira (body/body) can quickly get back to its origin, namely the PaƱca MahaBhuta in nature and the Atma can survive can go to the nature of pitra. In Hinduism, the human body is composed of a subtle body (spirit or atma) and rough body (physical). Rugged body constituted by the five elements known Maha Bhutas Panca. The fifth element is composed of Pertiwi(ground), Teja (fire), apah (water), Bayu (wind), and akasa (vacuum). Five of these elements coalesce to form a physical and then moved by the spirit. If someone died, the dead is actually just a ballpark remains alone while his spirit did not. Therefore, to cleanse the spirit, needs to be done to separate the Cremation ceremony of spirit with the bodies of the ballpark.   Cremation is a great ceremony and of course it requires a lot of cost. How does for those who are less fortunate? Hinduism  is flexible and of course there are policies regarding such conditions.

Today the awarding of the herb is often replaced with the use of formalin. During the funerals are still placed in the Customs Hall, the family still treats his body like that should still live, such as entailed a coffee, feed the beside the corpse, bringing towels and clothes, etc. because before the ceremony called Papegatan then the question was considered only sleep and still be his family surroundings.
