NGABEN RITUAL, corpse burning procession in the Hindu tradition in Bali. Ngaben comes from the word ngabu ( to become ashes ), purification by fire : purifying the spirits of those who have passed away and returning the elements that form the gross human body, or Panca Maha Bhuta to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa / God. The Ngaben ceremony is also a form of family sincerity in letting go of someone who has died. In Hindu belief, humans consist of a subtle body ( atma ) and a gross body ( physical ).
