The story behind chanting the name of Ram during the funeral procession
There was a time when Tulsidas lived in his village. He was always engaged in devotion to Ram. His family members and the villagers threw him out of the house calling him an impostor, so Tulsidas started living on the banks of river Ganga. He started worshiping the Lord.
When Tulsidas was starting the composition of Ramcharitmanas, on the same day a boy got married in his village, and the boy came to his home with his new bride. For some reason, that boy died in the night. The boy's family started crying. When morning came, everyone started taking the boy to the crematorium after arranging it on the bier, then the boy's wife also started following her husband's bier with the desire to commit Sati. People were going on the same route on which Tulsidas ji lived. When people were leaving, the boy's wife's eyes fell on Tulsidas ji. The newlywed bride thought that she was going to commit sati with her husband, once she bowed down to this Brahmin deity, the newlywed bride did not know that this was Tulsidas ji.
She immediately touched Tulsidas's feet and saluted him. Tulsidas blessed him with unbroken good fortune. Then everyone started laughing and said - Tulsidas, we thought you were a hypocrite, but you are also a very foolish person. This girl's husband is dead. Is. How could this unbroken Saubhagyavati be... Everyone started saying, you are also a liar, your Ram is also a liar.
Tulsidas ji said, we may be a liar, but my Ram can never be a liar. Everyone said: Then give proof.
Tulsidas ji got the bier kept, and went to the dead boy and whispered in his ear - Ram's name is true. Once he said this the boy started moving. For the second time, Tulsidas ji spoke in the boy's ear - Ram's name is true. The boy became a little conscious. Tulsidas ji again spoke in the boy's ear for the third time - Ram's name is true, then the deceased boy got up from the bier and sat down.
Everyone was astonished as to how the dead could be alive. Everyone accepted Tulsi Das as a perfect saint. He prostrated himself at the feet of Tulsidas ji and started apologizing.
Tulsidas Ji said, if you people did not go here through this route, then how would I get the proof of the name of Ram being true? This is all our Ram's Leela. From that day onwards, the practice of saying Ram's name is true behind the deceased started. .!!

Funeral Hindu Tradition: Why do we say Ram's name during the funeral procession? 'Ram's name is true', what do the scriptures say?

You must have seen that during the funeral procession, the family members and the people present say 'Ram Naam Satya Hai' repeatedly throughout the route. But do you know why 'Ram Naam Satya Hai' is said during the funeral procession and what is the reason behind it?
Dharmaraj Yudhishthir told the meaning of ‘Ram Naam Satya Hai’
Dharmaraja Yudhishthir, the main character of Mahabharata and the eldest among the Pandavas, has told about a verse. Its true meaning is revealed through this verse.
'Ahanyahani Bhootani Gachchanti Yamamandiram.
Shesha Vibhutimichchanti Kimashcharya Mat: Param.'
Meaning - When the deceased is taken to the crematorium, everyone says 'Ram's name is true', but after the last rites, when everyone returns home, they forget the name of Ram and get involved in attachment and the property of the deceased. 'Ram's name is true, speak the truth'. Ram Naam Satya Hai is not said to be recited to the deceased but it is recited to the family members and people accompanying the deceased that Ram's name is Satya Hai.

The truth of saying Ram's name behind the funeral procession |
Manan Karne Yogi Sacchi Katha 3 main reasons for saying 'Ram Naam Satya Hai' in the funeral procession
#1. One of the many reasons for saying that Ram's name is true is that the people present who take the dead body to the crematorium should know that after death, everything in the world ceases to exist. Only deeds go along. Because karma is immortal like Shri Ram. Therefore, do good deeds while living your life.
#2. Another reason for saying that Ram's name is true is that after hearing these words, the attention of the people walking on the road should be attracted and they should understand that a funeral procession is going, so that they leave the road clear for the funeral procession. Because it is considered inauspicious to stop the funeral procession anywhere and hence the funeral procession starts from the house. After leaving, it continues till the crematorium.
#3. One reason for saying that the name Ram is true is that it is believed that even after death, some of our organs remain active, of which the ear is also one. Therefore, the name of Ram in the form of nectar is taken at the last moment. So that these words reach the ears of the deceased and he attains salvation.
