Vedic hymns & rituals
​‘Samskaras’ translates
​‘Samskaras’ translates as ‘lasting impressions’. Samskara ceremonies are purificatory rituals, essential in the progressive development of humanity towards the supreme purpose of life, i.e. God consciousness. They leave lasting impressions on our mind as we go through major transitions and significant moments in life.
There are ten essential ceremonies to be performed in one’s life cycle. They begin before a child is born in this world, carry on throughout one’s life and conclude after one leaves this world. Many of these are performed for children. There are further ceremonies to assist and uplift us during various stages of life like a birthday blessing, anniversary and special milestone achievements, or even to support us during difficult times like when we lose a loved one. Please connect with us to learn more about samskaras relevant for you or your loved ones.
