Namkaran By Date Of Birth: Fill & Download for Free

Not only you but most of the people are confused regarding Sun Sign and first Alphabet of name and Moon Sign because of following reasons-What we read in the daily, weekly or monthly forecasts published in the newspapers are either based on Western Sun Sign or as per first alphabet which is Moon Sign based.There are Sayan and Nirayan systems for calculating Sun Sign. While western system uses without Ayan or Nir-ayan method and the Sun sign changes 21st to 23rd of each month whereas under Vedic system which is Sayan, the Sun changes the sign on the next month of 13–16 every month depending upon the motion. This called Sun’s Kranti and two festivals Baisakhi and Makar Sankranti are on the date of Sun’s transit in Mesha on 13th April and on the date of Sun’s entry into Makar or Uttarayan on 14th January. All other Hindu festivals are based on Vikram Samvat and lunar months.On 8th Sept 1997 if a person was born at 2 AM, the Sun Sign as per Western system was Virgo but in the birth chart the Sun will be shown in Leo as per Vedic system of calculation.Similarly the Nakshatra Pada was Vishakha -2 and the Moon Sign or Rashi is Libra. The first Alphabet as per Vedic calculations should be ‘TOO’ and the popular name may be starting with ‘S’ as in most cases there is no practice of Namkaran on the basis of alphabet as per the Nakshatra Pada.Therefore this confusion is prevalent in many people due to the forecasts in the newspapers which are nothing but the transit results based on Moon Sign or Sun sign.

In the indian culture there indeed is a relation between the two as is evident on the namkaran day( day of giving tge new born a name ).I actually dont know the method but the priest( pandit) tells the first letter from which the baby has to be named by doing some sought of calculation based on the time and the birth date.

In Hinduism, the ceremony is traditionally known as Namkaran or Namakarana Sanskar, this ceremony is conducted in an elaborate form on the 12th day after birth. In Kerala, this is conducted on 28 day and called as Noolukettu.The Namakarma Sanskar is usually held after the first 11 nights of a baby's delivery. These 11 post-natal days are considered as a period during which the child is adjusting to the new environment and thus very vulnerable to infections. To ensure this, the mother and child are separated from the rest of the family during these 10 days where no one except a helper/mother's mother is allowed to touch the baby or the mother. All festivals and events in the family and extended family are postponed by 11 nights. After those 11 nights, the house is decorated and sanctified for the ceremony. The mother and child are bathed traditionally and are prepared for the ceremony. This is most likely to avoid infecting baby or mother. Relatives and close friends are invited to be a part of this occasion and bless the child. Priests are called and an elaborate ritual takes place.A baby's paternal grandfather in Kerala performing Nool Kettu by tying a black string on the waist of the childThe people involved in the baby naming ceremony are the parents of the newborn, the paternal and maternal grandparents and few close relatives and friends. In Maharashtra, Bengal, and among the Rajputs of Gujarat the paternal aunt has the honour of naming her brother's child.[3] The child is dressed in new clothes and the mother wets the head of the baby with drops of water as a symbol of purifying the child. In some communities or families, the sacred fire is lighted and the priest chants sacred hymns to invoke the Gods in heaven to bless the child.A baby's father in Kerala whispers the child's name three times in her ear with the other ear closed with a betel leaf during the naming ceremonyOn this day baby is put into a cradle for the first time.In Kerala, a black thread and gold chain called an aranjanam are tied around the baby's waist on the 28th day. In certain parts of the state, it is performed on the 27th if it is a baby boy. The child's eyes are lined with mayye or kanmashi (Kohl). A black spot is placed on one cheek or asymmetrically on the forehead, to ward off the evil eyes. The grandfather whispers the chosen Hindu name in the child's right ear three times while the left ear is covered with a betel leaf. This is then repeated with the left ear. A mixture of ghee (melted and clarified butter) or honey is given to the infant as a base for its various foods in the future. At some places, an arati is performed for seven times with a lamp thread in a leaf.According to the date and time of birth of the child, a particular letter of the Sanskrit alphabet associated with the child's solar birth sign (soorya Rashi) is chosen which would prove lucky for the baby. The baby is then given a name starting with that letter. Usually the grandfather whispers the name four times in the right ear of the baby. In Maharashtra, this is performed by the paternal aunt. The baby receives blessings from all, including the priests. An elaborate feast is organized for the priests and the guests, as a closing event of the ceremony.The Namakaran Sanskar is also performed on adult converts to Hinduism to mark their formal entrance into Hinduism. The convert chooses a Hindu name to declare his allegiance to Hinduism and his severance from his former religion. A Vedic fire sacrifice is then performed and the convert writes his new name in a tray of uncooked rice.In Maharashtra, traditionally women changed their birth-name upon marriage. The new name was selected by the husband to complement his own name. For example, a groom named Vishnu would change his bride's name to Laxmi, the mythological consort of Vishnu, Ramchandra would change his bride's name to Sita and so on. Usually the husband writes the new name in a plate filled with dry uncooked rice grains.
