Q: Why is the body cremated in the Hindu religion?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
The world has a big population. Less space is taken up; land is so expensive. The body goes to Nature. Bones remain and are given to the river. Once the body is cremated, 700g to a maximum of 1kg of bones and ashes remain. The soul becomes free.
