Ajab Gajab: Saints make every boy here once, deep secrets of this unique custom, know

Bageshwar. The centuries -old traditions in the hilly areas of Uttarakhand are still alive. Traditional rites have been performed very seriously in areas like Bageshwar. One of these is Janeu Sanskar, which is also called Upanayana Sanskar. This rite is considered not only religious, but also from social and moral perspective. There is a unique tradition associated with this ritual in the mountainous regions. Every boy is also made a monk for once during the Janeu Sanskar.

Why so important

Pandit Kailash Upadhyay of Bageshwar tells Local 18 that this tradition is not only symbolic, but is a deep religious faith and life-philosophy behind it. It is believed that when the boy takes the form of a monk, he rises above the worldly bonds and leads to purity and spirituality. Some time renunciation is an indication that life is not limited to material pleasures, but also has spiritual responsibility. Local elders believe that this process makes the child mentally mature and responsible.

Second birth

Wearing janeu is a big religious step in itself. It is a symbol of the boy’s ‘second birth’, in which he moves towards life with spiritual, moral and social responsibilities. After this ritual, the child is taught to follow the Vedpath, worship and religious rules. The child wearing janeu has to follow certain special rules, such as maintaining purity, bathing daily, following religious conduct, etc.

For a day, making a child a monk is considered to be a way of connecting him to the values ​​of life, bringing discipline and self -control into them. This custom inspires boys to walk on the religious and moral path for a lifetime. This unique custom connects the coming generations to its culture.
