Greetings Everyone!!
Namkaran (also spelled Naamkaran) is one of the most important of the 16 Hindu 'samskaras' or rituals that celebrate rites of passage, the different stages in a person's life.
This time we are showcasing the beauty of the naming ceremony, the rituals, the cradle decorations and other preparations.
The Sage Shankha succinctly states the purpose of the Namakarana.
कुलदेवतानक्षत्राभिसम्बन्धं पिता कुर्यादन्यो वा कुलव्रुद्ध
“The father or the elder in the family must initiate the connection (of the child) with the kula, the devatas and the nakshatra”
The name of an individual must help reminisce the connection with the family or clan from which he or she comes from.
“The child must be named on the tenth or twelfth day after birth. Auspicious tithis, muhurtha and stars must be chosen for this”
Janam Nakshatranam (by lunar asterism, composed of the birth star of the child, the position of planets at the time and date of birth, and the moon sign);
Masanam (according to the child's month of birth);
Devatanama (after the family deity);
Rashinama (according to the child's Zodiac sign); and
Samsarikanama (the worldly name), as an exception to all the above.
It is traditionally believed that a boy's name should have letters in even numbers (2, 4, 6, 8) and girls should consist of odd-numbered letters (3, 5, 7, 9), but 11 is considered the most auspicious length for both genders.
