Why does the person who lights the pyre write 94 on the ashes?



Do you know?

When the pyre goes out at Manikarnika Ghat in Kashi, why does the person who lights the pyre write 94 on the ashes?
Not everyone should know this. Only the people living in Banarasi or its vicinity are aware of this custom. The good people who come from outside do not know this.
Know this -
There are Shatapatha (100 paths) of life. A person who does 100 good deeds, after death, gets their next life as good or bad based on that. Out of these deeds, 94 deeds are under the control of man, which he can complete. But the results of 6 deeds are under the control of Brahma Ji (God). Loss-profit, life-death, fame-infamy — these 6 deeds are under the control of the rules of karma.
Therefore, today, 94 of your deeds have turned into ashes on the pyre. The remaining 6 deeds will now create a new life for you. Therefore, 100 - 6 = 94 is written.


The Gita also says that after death, the mind takes the 5 senses with it. This number is 6 (mind and five senses).
No one except nature knows in which country, where, and among whom the next birth will take place. Therefore, 94 karmas have become ashes, and 6 are going with them.
Farewell traveler. Your 6 karmas remain with you.
The detailed description of these 100 good deeds is given below for you, which will lead your life towards religion and good deeds, and this list will inspire you to do good deeds...
