The Namkaran Sanskar 2020 or the Naming Ceremony is one of the 16 essential samskaras of Hinduism. Our name is our identity, and one is recognised with it. Therefore, the Naming Ceremony 2020 is a crucial and auspicious function in Hinduism, from a religious perspective as well.
Typically, this ceremony falls 11 days after the birth of the baby. However, as a rule, if a child is born under the Gandmool Nakshatra, then the Namkaran Sanskar 2020 should be after 27 days. The ceremony will be held only after the rituals and remedies for pacifying the Gandmool Nakshatra are complete. Hence, the organization of Naming Ceremony 2020 should always be under the guidance of a priest or astrologer.
Vedic astrology classifies certain Nakshatras as Gandmool Nakshatra. The main reason behind this is that the domain of Gand Mool Nakshatras is considered very sensitive, and thus, they form the Gandmool Dosha.
In both the Nakshatras and the Zodiacs, these Gandmool Nakshatras fall in the middle of two. What this means is that, these nakshatras will occur in the degrees between two zodiac signs or two nakshatras. They belong to Ketu and Mercury. When the Nakshatras of Ketu end and those of Mercury begin, then that scenario is called Gandamool Nakshatra. These are therefore taken into account while calculating the Naming Ceremony 2020 Auspicious Timings.
As per the traditions of Sanatan Dharma, one should do every auspicious task under a shubh muhurat. This practice is in place because the followers of Hinduism believe that when we organize essential functions at favourable timings, then their chances of success are much higher. Hence, we use the Panchang and taking the Day, Date, Month, Tithi, and Nakshatras into account, finalize the best Naming Ceremony 2020 Auspicious Timings.
Although, one can conduct the Namkaran Sanskar 2020 on any day, however, the Tithis Chaturthi, Navami, and Chaturdashi are not favourable for it. Simultaneously, Mrigashira, Rohini, Pushya, Revati, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Shravan, Ashwini, Shatabishak, etc., nakshatras are beneficial for Namkaran Sanskar Muhurat 2020. However, the most auspicious of all is the nakshatra under which the baby was born.
Nowadays, parents name their child as per their convenience. However, according to the scriptures, one should take the child's birth Nakshatra as well as the month into account. Apart from this, the baby’s zodiac sign is also considered while deciding on a name. Moreover, all this should be done in the auspicious Namkaran Sanskar Muhurat 2020 during the Naming Ceremony 2020.
The Namkaran Sanskar 2020 is a religious ritual, which is why one should organize havan and Yagya in the Naming Ceremony 2020 Auspicious Timings. The father of the baby mainly performs this rite. In front of the fire (Agni Dev), they chant the mantras to reminiscence/invoke the Pancha Bhutas and their ancestors. Now, the astrologer gives the first alphabet with which the baby should be named, as per the infant’s birth details. However, if the child's father is not present in this ceremony due to some reason, then the baby’s paternal grandfather or uncle (father’s elder brother) can sit in his stead. On this occasion, all relatives and family members bless the child, in the Naming Ceremony 2020 Auspicious Timings.
