Mundan Sanskar (also known as Chaul Karma or Chudakarana) is the ritual shaving of a child's head. It is typically performed within the first or third year of legal age.
According to Vedic scriptures, shaving the hair from birth removes the traits of the past life and purifies the soul, allowing the child to start this life with freshness and intelligence. It is also believed to stimulate proper brain development.
We arrange for the Puja and Havan. Note: You may need to arrange for the Barber (Napit) separately, or we can assist on request.
Scientific & Spiritual Reason
Spiritually, it liberates the child from past negative karma. Scientifically, it keeps the head cool during teething and promotes better hair growth.
Benefits:
- โRemoval of past life impurities.
- โPromotes better brain development & intellect.
- โEnsures healthy hair growth.
- โCooling effect on the body.
- โBlessings for longevity (Ayush).
