Our scriptures say that human body is only like a vastra for the soul which is immortal. But our scriptures also say that people perform annual Shraaddha for departed persons. If soul is immortal why is Shraaddha performed and recognised by scriptures? For whom is Shraaddha performed, body or soul?

Dear Subbaramanji,
It is meant for living people to remind themselves that the body will fall one day and before that they should uplift their minds. Also, it will help you to honour the departed souls.
