What Is Namakaran Sanskar?

A newborn baby brings in a sky full of happiness and positive vibes to the family. The word nama refers to the name, and karan is to create. Creating a name for the new family member is an auspicious and grand celebration. 

This Namakaran Sanskar offers the first identity to the baby. The pandit selects the alphabet associated with the birth star or nakshatra, which is considered to be lucky for the child.

How Is Namakaran Ceremony Done?  

The ceremony is usually done under the supervision of an experienced pandit. The newborn child with his parents starts the ceremony. 

  • The ceremony starts with pranayama and prayers while Pandit Ji chants mantras of various Gods and Goddesses, seeking blessings for the child. 
  • Once chanting and pranayama are done, the ceremony of naming the child begins. Rice grains are spread evenly on a bronze plate. The father writes the name of the child on it with a gold stick while chanting God’s name. 
  • Once this is done, the father whispers the chosen name to the right ear of the child with a specific prayer, as guided by the pandit. This ritual is followed four times. 
  • With this, the priest finally accepts the name. This is followed by blessings from the elders, and the ceremony ends with a grand feast. 
  • In most cases, the family astrologer presents the child’s horoscope in the namakaran sanskar ceremony for the first time to the family. 

What Is The Procedure For Selecting Baby’s Name?                

In a Hindu family, the Namakaran Sanskar process is based on Vedic astrology. There are 5 different principles that help to determine what the initials of the child will be. 

  • Janam Nakshatranam is the position of the planets and the stars at the exact birth time of the child. 
  • The second principle is Masanam, or the birth month. 
  • Next is Devatanama, which is the ancestral deity. 
  • The child is also named following the norms of Rashinama, which is the zodiac sign of the child.
  •  Often the process also involves the Samsarikanama– which is a worldly name.
