What is Naamkaran Puja?
Naamkaran (नामकरण) means "naming" and is one of the 16 important Hindu Samskaras (rites of passage). Performed on the 11th, 12th, or any auspicious day after a baby’s birth, this ritual marks the formal naming of the child in the presence of family, relatives, and divine energies.
The name is chosen carefully, often based on:
- Nakshatra (birth star) & Rashi (zodiac sign)
- Astrological calculations
- Cultural and family traditions
Importance of Naamkaran Puja
The Naamkaran Puja is more than a celebration—it has spiritual, emotional, and cultural significance:
- Invokes Divine Blessings – Seeks blessings of deities for the child’s healthy and prosperous life.
- Cleanses Negative Influences – Protects the newborn from evil energies and doshas.
- Astrological Alignment – Naming based on nakshatra strengthens planetary influences.
- Cultural Identity – Connects the child with family traditions and community heritage.
- Social Recognition – Introduces the child formally to family and society.
Vidhi of Naamkaran Puja
The ritual process (vidhi) involves several sacred steps performed by a knowledgeable Pandit Ji:
- Ganesh Puja & Kalash Sthapana – Worshipping Lord Ganesha and establishing the kalash for divine blessings.
- Navagraha Puja – Invoking planetary deities to protect the child.
- Jaatakarma & Punyahavachan – Purification rituals for the baby and mother.
- Naamkaran Sanskar – The Pandit whispers the chosen name in the child’s ear while chanting mantras.
- Blessings & Aashirwad – Family elders bless the child with prosperity, wisdom, and happiness.
- Havan (optional) – Sacred fire ritual for divine energy and protection.
