NAMKARAN MUHURAT 2016

HARI OM ,

“Namkaran Sanskar” is one of the most important of the “16 Hindu Samskar / Solaha Sanskar’ or rituals. In the Vedic traditional, ‘Namkaran’ (Sanskrit ‘nam’ = name; ‘karan’ = create) is the formal naming ceremony performed to select a newborn’s name using traditional methods and astrological rules of naming. This is generally a happy ritual – with the tensions of childbirth now over, the family comes together to celebrate the birth of the child with this ceremony.

Namkaran is also called ‘Palanarohan’ in some traditions, which refers to putting a child into the cradle (Sanskrit ‘palana’ = cradle; ‘arohan’ = onboard). In Tamil Namkaran sanskar is called “Peyariduvizha” , in Sindhi “Chatti” .

When is Namkaran Held?

Traditionally, the Namkaran ceremony is conducted after the ‘Jatakarma’ samskara, which is performed at the time of the birth of the child.

Nowadays, with more and more births taking place in the hospital, this ritual has become a part of the Namkaran ceremony, which is performed within a few weeks of the baby’s birth.

Strictly speaking, the naming ceremony should be held 11 days after birth-immediately preceding the ‘Sutika’ or ‘Shuddhikaran or Sutak’ period when the mother and child are confined to intensive postpartum or post-natal care. However, the 11th day is not fixed and can be decided by the parents based on a priest or an astrologers advice, and can extend even up to the baby’s first birthday.

In Hindu Culture, Namkaran Ceremony is performed to choose a newborn’s name. For all parents who are looking forward for this ceremony, Bhaiyaji  brings us Namkaran Sanskar Muhurat 2016. Pick up the best date to bless your baby with a beautiful name
