One of the most powerful and important ways we can serve those who have left the body is a Yagya for the Deceased. The yagya serves to clear discordant energies within the soul’s lineage such as abuse, illness, poverty, or obstacles to spiritual evolution. This clearing increases the potential for present and future generations of that soul’s lineage to enjoy a more coherent and aligned life experience. For a traumatic death, the yagya serves to clear the karma of the soul.
