Agni is there in creation , maintenance and destruction of human life . Agni knows everything .He is called jatha veda . .Veda says "Angathenga sambhavasi" . You have come from all my "Angams"( of father) . Semen has spread all over the body . You have come from my heart and My atman is your atman says veda manthra which the father chant during the Jathakarma.

Saying Nakshathra name in childs year as first identity

I am showing my love towards you by gently patting you on your fore head and father has to smell the Brahmarabdhram ( that is in utchanthalai). For children this portion there will be a very small hole . . In right ear , father will say the name of nakshathram . The child is hearing the nakshathra said by father first and nakshathram is the first identification for child..

Controlling the 3 doshas with manthra and improving the brain power

. "Dhathi kritham" and "madhu kritham" will be put in tongue of child in jatha karma. Ghee and Curd mix is dhatikritham . Brain improvement have to come is what manthra says at this time.Ayurveda said kabha disease will come very fast for child . "Mathu kritham ethi samsidhya ".
Gold (gold ring ) immersed in honey and ghee will be just applied in child's tongue . Both should be taken together not in equal quantity . That is why gold is mixed . Madhu will cut down kapham . Theja will come through ghee. "Dadi" or curd is for indran and for yaga.

Protection for child from negative forces

There are certain forces or insects it would be staying away from eyes and suddenly some attraction comes , all will come ( here to disturb the child), same like how the ant comes seeing the sweet and till that we see ants nowhere . Like that there are many different negative forces in the nature and the child should be protected from it When the child sleeps, there are negative forces which disturb him , water will be kept in "kumbham" and will be rotated around the head and kept .

Bhaleekarana homam for removing "gruha peeta"( Planetary Doshas) , negative forces and disease spreading through Air

Asyakumara bhaleekarana peeta pariharartham , bhaleekarana homam karishey".Ayurvedam recommending the bhaleekarana homam.

Ayurveda also tells about the balagraha peeta .Ayurveda also recommending the homam as it is not possible in ayurveda. Suddenly child is crying . After drinking milk child is vomiting ,like this there are many problems . These are all different gryuha peeta and we cannot know how to ask and child dont know how to tell .
