One of the sixteen Sacred Sanskars (Shodasha Samskaras) that are required by Hinduism is Mundan Sanskar. It is supposed to be the eighth and most important purifying ceremony in Shubh muhurat for Mundan to grant a kid good fortune and wealth. In certain Hindu groups, Mundan Sanskar is also known as Chaul Mundan, Jadula, Chura Karam, or Chaul Karma Sanskar.
What Does Your Child Have in Store?
Definition of Mundan
Hindus practice Mundan Sanskar, which involves tonsuring a child’s hair for the first time following birth. When a child is 7, 9, or 11 months old, the Mundan Ceremony is always conducted at the most auspicious Mundan Muhurat. Some folks would rather wait one to three years to do it. Chaula Karma is the Mundan Sanskar of a female, and it is done in even years.
Mundan Ceremony and Mundan Muhurat Significance
Hindu custom holds that the Mundan Sanskar, or tonsure, performed on Shubh Mundan muhurat cleanses a child of the sins and negativities of its previous birth. A soul must travel through 84 lakh Yonis, each of which has an effect on the birth of a human, before reaching the human form. A baby’s skull is shaved to cleanse them of previous transgressions and to free them from all limiting factors. The Yajurveda states that the Mundan ceremony, also known as Sanskar, is an extremely important Karma in improving a child’s age, strength, agility, wisdom, and health.
Advantages of the Mundan Ceremony
According to science, a baby’s hair can harbor a variety of dangerous microorganisms from the mother’s pregnancy. Even after numerous washes, these bacteria remain. This hair can be removed from the baby’s head, and shaving encourages healthy hair development.
Following Mundan Sanskar, the baby’s body temperature returns to normal, resulting in healthy physical and mental development.
The head’s tonsure facilitates the body’s natural absorption of sunlight, which provides vitamin D. It provides the child’s scalp with consistent blood circulation, which promotes healthy hair development.
Mundan lessens the pain a youngster experiences when their first teeth erupt.
Scriptures state that Mundan bestows wisdom, wealth, and auspiciousness upon a child’s life.
