Hellloo guys!!!!
Today let us dive into another Interesting topic. shall we !😉😈
As I belong to a part of A Hindu Tamil brahmin family,in my childhood i have always wondered why there are so many complicated rituals followed, especially to a newborn😕 !! I just, first felt these rituals more hitlerish at the ear piercing ceremony of my bro,Poor guy..,Was crying all the time seeing all the terrifying huge faces around him. I wondered that why do we need to do these, is it not torture at that age? why can it be done after he grown up? why to do a ear piercing to a boy ? 😳
”NO” was the only answer, my mom gave me at that time and She also added "These are done because of various reasons,you will not understand now”.😟
Right from that day, I was interested in this and i kept searching for references...I did get some but not satisfiable.After 15 years,you know! Much to my shock !! And from where??
yes ! AYURVEDA!!!!!😇
I got my answers that there are things beyond our approach and understanding,cannot be explained by mere scientific tools,YET.
The care and the rituals to be carried out after birth have been explained in detail in texts like Kashyapa samhita, Ashtanga sangraham, Charaka samhitha, Susrutha samhitha , etc..
These concepts are very unique and mind blowing, So let us venture into it slowly.
GODS GIFTS ARE WORTH TO WAIT;RIGHT✌
First, we shall know, what is meant by samskaram?
Samskaram संस्कारं, (सं + कृ + घञ् । ) प्रतियत्नः । अनुभवः । मानसकर्म्म इति मेदिनी ॥Here, In sanskrit means activities as per a culture of the region,practiced by the community for the generations, so as to become a duty or habit. In indian culture, the duties or such cultural practices are enormous as India is a home for variety.
Why do u need it?
These samskaras are essential tools for the person to lead a peaceful life so that he can attain moksha i.e he will not have rebirths.This concepts are seen in all religious belief and in all customs.One can understand these, as we go through each samskaras in detail.
Let us plough the Important Samkaras for the living in detail,everyday.
