At least my son would have to visit these beautiful places.

I must say, Aupmanyav, very few people think of their final resting places as ways to bring beauty into the lives of those they love. I think I am going to have my ashes scattered in places I want my loved ones to visit. Of course, that means I must now myself visit more beautiful places...

Otherwise why do you think hindus have their temples in far-off places, or on sea-shores or on top of mountains, and why a hindu is supposed to visit Haridwar, Garh Mukteshwar or Gaya to propiate his ancestors? A Rajasthani peasant visiting Gaya so that his ancestors' souls would be satisfied (3000 km). It is easy now with rail, but we did not have that all the time.
