Krishna
instructs and encourages this technique in Gita in chapter 3: Devanbhavyatanena te deva bhavyantu vah
Parasparam bhavyantah shreyah paramwapsyath (3..11)
Cherish the devas with this, and may those Devas cherish
you: thus cherishing one another, ye shall gain the highest good.
In all the Samskars (sacraments) we chant mantras to invite
these benvolent souls to help us in our jouney from Life to Life.
Now, with all these basic understandings, we will get into
the samskaras proper in the next chapter.
