Punyahavachana (meant for purifying our surroundings)

Punyahavachana is meant for purifying our surroundings. This is the P ooja of the lord of water. We chant some mantras laying a hand on Kalasha (an earthen or metal pot filled with water) so as to purify it, which then becomes the holy water. This holy water is first sprinkled on our surroundings to purify our surroundings and then few drops (handful) of it are swallowed to purify our body. Punyavachana seeks to enhance our life and bring on Prosperity during the lifetime.

 

Naamkaran (naming ceremony) is the fifth Samskara wherein we decide the name of the child for his / her identity. The child is then placed in the Cradle with a prayer, seeking blessing for the child.
