The Structure Of The Body And  Hindu Philosophy
                                                                                                          The Hindu philosophy is very clear regarding the contents of body. The body is consist of  five ingredients i.e. Fire, Air,Water, Space and Earth. Therefore when body is burnt those ingredients goes to their receptive places.
                                                                                      However Soul which lives in body is quite separate from Body. It has nothing to do with the nature of body. It has its own liveliness. It gives life to body. It can be compared with the light of Sun which remains aloof of from Universe but gives light to whole Universe.
                                                                                     Besides that body  is guided by the various  elements during its life time i.e.  Touch, Beauty, Sound, Smell, Desire,  Jealousy, Vindictiveness, Courage, Fear, Happiness and Unhappiness.

                                                                                     Therefore Hindu Philosophy believes in Cremation of Body as it eliminate every things to mix with their respective ingredients. It also destroys the deceased carried by the  Body.  Soul  ultimately goes to another body which is destined for it according to the merits of the Karma. This philosophy is based as per the years long research done by great Saints of Hindu Religion.
