SAMSKARAS |
|
THE word
Samskara means a purifying ceremony.
The rishis of ancient India have prescribed many Samskaras for a man from his birth to
death.
The object of Samskaras is to make God love us more.
Samskaras also help us to learn discipline and develop character.
There are as many as forty Samsakars in a mans life.
Of these only a-few are commonly observed these days.
As soon as a child is born, the father must go to the river and bathe and give away gifts
to holy persons. These will please his
ancestors. |
