It is a spontaneous reaction. When you loose your dear one's and that you would be never seeing them make all the difference.

As per hindu scripture, it is not necessary to cry on the death of some near and dear. On the contrary, hindu scripture does not allow such crying.

If it is automatic/ naturally then it is from the heart and if it unnatural then it is not necessary at all.

It is not at all necessary to cry over death of someone near and dear if u don't feel so. But God had made us with so tender hearts that even the thought of death of someone near and dear brings tears in our eyes. Emotions cannot be controlled by brain they r governed by heart.

Crying as a necessary act is never genuine.The death of some dear one brings tears to our eyes naturally and unknowingly.But remember one thing that this crying or expression of grief should also be limited and sober.

Death is ultimate truth.That is the reason people can not bear. Death is inevitable yet un bearable. We love body of a person. Our relationship is on physical level. Therefore if the body is gone we feel extremely difficult to for get and cry. Yet slowly we forget the agony of separation. Hence crying is common .If you prepare not to cry and say good by it is also good.Both is possible. Both can be practiced.

Crying is just a symbol of showing sorrow... its a way to express your sorrow and pain.. but it is not the 'only' way..some people go silent when they are in sorrow, some people go numb...and some do not at all express them, they keep behaving normally but this does not mean that they are not feeling the pain and the sorrow. So as u see, it is not at all necessary to cry when some one dies, and it is not at all necessary to even feel the pain...you may feel happy that the person has successfully played his inning here and is off to another journey....
Hugh Prather in 'Notes to Myself' says : 'My wife died last nite, and I am happy... I am happy that I spent so many beautiful moments with her' ... (this is the gyst, not the actual lines)

I hope you got ur answer my friend

WE SH'D NOT CRY BUT WE TEND TO CRY BECAUSE WE FEEL BAD ABOUT THE SEPARATION AND TEND TO FEEL LONE WITHOUT THE COMPANY OFTHE PERSON WITH WHOM WE SHARED MANY GOOD AND BAD MOMENTS OF OUR LIFE...ISN'T IT TRUE?

it is beyond our control but yes if one can know what life is all about which is very difficult one should try to console others, the soul that has travelled a lot knows even before the death could come but for others it is the training of the mind

Everyone else is wrong! Here is the correct answer!
Your crying at the death of a loved one:
1) U r selfish. Oh! U have gone! Now what will I do? What will happen to our childeren? Only if u r selfish will u cry!
2) Most important! When U cry u create a depressing situation for the dead! Do u think they are happy to see u crying after their death? Nonsense! Quite the contrary! When the departed soul sees the loved ones crying that departed soul suffers terrible agony. On one hand is the onward journey, on the other are attachments to the material world! What does the soul do?
Stop crying and instead pray that the soul gets a good re-birth where the soul is exposed to dharma teachings.
