This next episode on the Significance of Our Samskaras takes us through the samskaras performed during the child’s first year of life. The child’s first look at the sun and the moon, their first visit to the temple, and their first bite of food are infused with powerful meaning when we understand why we do what we do. These are all reminders of the purpose of life and the responsibility to guide the child to that same purpose.
