The funeral rites for Yu-tiv included the burial of her body on the 4th day and then they “sat in the sacred circle and sang and prayed for her soul to go on to Nirvana (paradise)” (Nirvana/paradise is another name for the etherea, the higher heavens beyond Earth’s atmosphere). During the sacred circle, “the soul of Yu-tiv” appeared in the middle of the circle like “an angel in white”.
On the day of her death, Brahma told his family to “sing no songs; pray in silence only. Let her soul be in quiet with Ormazd” and on this day, for Yu-tiv, she said, “Out from the head of the corporeal body the spirit is born; and angels stand around; on a spirit blanket receive they the spirit of the dead. One day, in quiet, they keep the spirit, teaching it to reconcile and understand.”
On the second day after Yu-tiv’s death, Brahma told his family to pray in whispers the best good deeds of the dead and Yu-tiv said that on this day, “the spirit heareth the prayers of the earth-people coming upward”.
On the third day, Brahma told his family to “Burst forth a song of praise to Ormazd” and talk about the virtues of the dead. Yu-tiv said that on the third day “the spirit understandeth death and birth of spirit” and this is the day the soul enters the first-resurrection heaven (Earth’s lowest atmospheric heaven).
On the fourth day, Brahma told his family, “bid the dead arise and go onward, upward” in song and prayer. This is also the day they buried Yu-tiv’s body. Yu-tiv said that on the fourth day when they sang “O Goddess, arise from the dead!”, her spirit was free from the Earth, “resting in the arms of Gods and Goddesses, who had come from on high to receive me”.
The fourth day is also the day that Yu-tiv appeared to her family in the center of the sacred circle. She added that on the fifth day, for the holy, the second resurrection begins. She said, “After the fifth day call ye me not back again! My labor lieth yonder! I must build houses for you all… If it be his (Ormazd) will for me to return to you at times, I will return.”
