Samskaras (Rites of Passage/ Sacraments)




"Shaishave abhyastavidyãnãm yauvane vishayaishinãm;
Vãrdhakye munivruttinãm yogenãnte tanutyajãm."

Kalidasa, Raghuvansha (1-8)


Childhood is a period of learning (Brahmacharya Ashrama), youth is a period of fulfilling his desires by practising what he has learnt (Gruhastha Ashrama), for silent contemplation during old age he renounces worldly activity (Vanprastha Ashrama) and then endeavours for God-realisation, after which he leaves his body.
Since eternity man has strived to improve his own self. This realisation, unique only to mankind, has led him to think deeper about his physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. Towards this end, the seers of ancient period prescribed a set of observances, known as Samskaras.

What does Samskara mean?

Samskaras are believed to reform and sanctify the person for whom they are performed at critical moments of life from conception in the mother’s womb to the cremation of the body after death. These Samskaras are deemed necessity for unfolding a person’s latent capacities for development. It is believed that Samskaras have influenced even beyond death, as they determine the course of the soul.


The nearest English word for Samskara is sacrament, related to the phrase 'rite of passage'. In the Oxford English Dictionary, sacrament is defined as a "religious ceremony or act regarded as an outward and visible sign of inward or spiritual grace." In classical Sanskrit literature, such as Raghuvamsha, Kumarsambhava, Abhijnana-Shakuntala, Hitopadesha and Manu Smruti, Samskara means: education, cultivation, training, refinement, perfection, grammatical purity, polishing, embellishment, decoration, a purificatory rite, a sacred rite, consecration, sanctification, effect of past actions (karmas), merit of karmas, etc.
 A general definition of Samskara, encompassing nearly all of the above is "to improve upon something while removing its undesirable attributes."
 
Number of Samskaras
In antiquity there was a great divergence of opinion about the number of rites of passage. Classics of Ayurveda have not expounded in detail about the number of Samskaras, however various Hindu philosophy have.
The number of Samskaras in Hindu philosophy fluctuates from 12 to 18 and even more. But during the course of time and consensus among learned scholars 16 Samskaras have become popular (Shodasha Samskara) which are as follows,
 

1.    Garbhadhana Samskara (Procedure followed during conception)

2.    Pumsavana Samskara (Engendering the desired sex to the foetus)

3.    Simantonnayana Samskara (Baby shower/ Parting of hairs/Pre-birth ceremony)

4.    Jatakarma Samskara (Procedures of new born care / Natal Rites)

5.    Namakarana Samskara (Naming Ceremony)

6.    Nishkramana Samskara (First Outing of Child after birth)

7.    Annaprashana Samskara (Initiating first external feed to child)

8.    Chudakarma Samskara (First tonsure of the child)

9.    Karnavedhana Samskara (Piercing ear lobes of the child)

10. Aksharalekhana Samskara (Initiating to learn alphabets)

11. Upanayana Samskara (Sanctification of male child)

12. Vedarambha Samskara (Initiation of education)

13. Kesanta / Godana Samskara (Cutting of hairs)

14. Samavartana Samskara (Completion of education/ Betrothal)

15. Vivaha Samskara (Marriage ceremony)

16. Antyesti Samskara (End rites/Death rituals)

 The succeeding posts will deal with Scientific appraisal of individual Samskaras in relation to childhood

Ayurveda.....

Ayurveda.....
 
 
Vedic medicine, considered one of the oldest systems of medicine in the world, was developed in India during the period 2000-1000 B.C. The seers of ancient India used their observation, experience and natural resources to develop a unique system which they named as “Ayurveda”, the “science of life”.
 
 Ayurveda (Sanskrit Ayurveda - आयुर्वेद, "life-knowledge") consists of eight branches of speciality viz,
1. Kāya-chikitsā - "Doctrine of General Medicine", "cure of diseases affecting the body"
2. Kaumāra-bhṛtya -  "Doctrine of Paediatrics"
3. Śhalya-chikitsā - "Doctrine of Surgery"
4. Śālākya-tantra - "Doctrine of Ophthalmology/ENT "cure of diseases of the eye, ear, nose, head, etc
5. Bhūtavidyā - "Demonology / Exorcism/Psychiatry, treatment of mental diseases supposed to be produced by past experiences",
6. Agada-tantra - "Doctrine of Antidotes" & Toxicology, Forensic medicine
7. Rasayana-tantra - "Doctrine of Elixirs "
8. Vājīkaraṇa tantra - "Doctrine of Aphrodisiacs"
