GurubhyO nama: 

Samskaaram enables a person to live a vedic life.   Vedic life is a holistic life.  Completeness in life can happen only if we nurture mind, body and soul together. Samskaaraas are those invaluable secrets embedded in the Vedas which, our ancestors have preserved, due to their constant and untiring efforts, in not only preaching them but also practicing them relentlessly.

What are Samskaaras?

Samskaaraas  are the vedic rites and rituals prescribed  for a man to attain union with the Lord.  Sam(s)=well, kaara =making. So Samskaara means making something good, refining or purifying. The rich samskaaras mentioned in the dharmashaastraas are presecribed for a man's life from birth to death. So they are our friends who travel with us.

Why should we follow Samskaaras?

• For obtaining inner purity and acquiring noble qualities.
