SITARAM

Namaskaram to All

​

Valaikappu, Seemantonnayanam

 

Pumsavanam is nowadays combined with Seemantonnayanam and Valaikappu. Timing of this ritual shall be as per convenience; but ritual must be performed. Naandi sraadham is essential.

 

Jatakarma, Aayushyahomam etc.

 

Jatakarma should be performed by the father of the child as soon as child is born; a lot of danams should be given. Nowadays Jatakarma is performed on 11th day along with Punyahavachanam (purification ceremony) and Namakaranam. Do not miss these very important purificatory samskaras. Remember that if the child's father is not available in time, the child's grandfather or other elder can perform this. Annaprasanam is performed by some people separately. Aayushyahomam should be performed for the child at the end of one year. 

This should not be missed or postponed unnecessarily. Under unavoidable circumstances it should be performed as soon as possible...
