Samskar Services
Samskaras or purificatory processes - The Vedic literatures describe that there are many opportunities during one’s life – from before birth to after death – when one should perform a ceremony for purification to evoke auspiciousness and ensure advancement in spiritual life. In the age of Kali, the only fruitful sacrifice is the sacrifice of the congregational chanting of the holy names of the Lord [Srimad Bhagavatham 1.18.12]. Sankirtana Yajna, chanting of the holy name of the Lord, is more important than any other samskaras or Vedic ritualistic sacrifices [Srimad Bhagavatham 6.3.25]
