Samskaras' are sacred rituals that mark significant transitions and milestones throughout one's life journey. The term 'Samskara' translates to 'lasting impressions', as these ceremonies leave indelible imprints on the mind and soul. Samskaras serve as purificatory rites, guiding individuals towards the ultimate goal of life - the realisation of God consciousness.
There are ten essential Samskaras that span from before birth to after death. Many of these rituals are performed for children, helping them navigate through crucial stages of development. Beyond the ten core ceremonies, there are additional Samskaras to celebrate and support individuals during various life events, such as birthdays, anniversaries, and notable achievements.
These rituals also offer solace and strength during challenging times, like the loss of a loved one. To discover which Samskaras are most relevant to you or your loved ones, please reach out to us for further guidance.
