The death of a loved one is often a deeply emotional experience, and many people express their grief by touching, embracing, or kissing the deceased as a final farewell. According to beliefs discussed by the Spiritual Research Foundation, kissing the hand or forehead of a deceased person may have spiritual implications that go beyond the physical act itself.
The article explains that after death, the body is believed to release excretory gases and subtle frequencies into the surrounding environment. As a result, the area around the deceased is said to become filled with disturbing vibrations. These vibrations are described as creating conditions that may attract negative spiritual energies or entities, increasing their activity in the vicinity of the body.
Based on this perspective, kissing the hand or forehead of a deceased person may allow these disturbing frequencies to come into contact with the individual performing the act. The belief is that the skin of the deceased can carry such vibrations, which may then be transferred to a living person through physical contact.
The article further states that the atmosphere surrounding a deceased body may be charged with unsettling energies. As a result, a person who kisses or closely interacts with the body could become affected by these frequencies. It is suggested that this exposure may leave the individual vulnerable to negative spiritual influences.
In addition, the article claims that if a person is already under the influence of negative spiritual entities, contact with the deceased could create further spiritual complications. According to this belief system, such entities may use the interaction as an opportunity to affect the subtle body of the deceased, potentially creating obstacles in the spiritual journey that follows death.
The article also acknowledges that funeral workers and family members often need to touch or handle the body as part of funeral preparations and burial rituals. This is described as an unavoidable occupational or ceremonial responsibility. Drawing a comparison to workers in radiology departments who protect themselves from X-ray exposure through specialized shielding, the article suggests that people involved in funeral arrangements should take spiritual precautions.
As a protective measure, the article recommends the chanting of “Shri Gurudev Datta” while carrying out funeral-related duties. It also emphasizes the importance of maintaining regular spiritual practice. According to the source, consistent spiritual discipline aligned with fundamental spiritual principles is considered essential for long-term spiritual protection and well-being.
