Our Dharma believes that a person should follow sixteen sanskaras (sacraments or rituals) in its entire life to mark different stages of a human life cycle. Following these rituals lead to a passage of possessing Ashram (stage of life). Sanskara acts as a turning point,

celebrated like an auspicious occasion. Practicing these sanskaras have turned out to bring great personality with effectiveness. The 16 Sanskars are as follows:

1)Garbhadhana (Conception)
2) Pumsavana (Fetus Protection)
3) Simantonnayana (Fulfilling Mother’s Wishes)

4) Jatakarma (Birth Ritual)
5)Namkarana (Name Giving)
6) Nishkramana (Taking Child Outdoors)
7) Annaprashan (giving solid food)
8) Chudakarna or Mundan (Hair Cutting)
9) Karnvedh (ear piercing)
10) Upanayana (Sacred thread bearing)

The four great eras in Sanatan Dharma are Satya Yug, Treta Yug, Dwapar Yuga, and Kali Yuga. Satya Yuga or the Age of Truth lasts for 4800 divine years, Treta Yuga for 3,600, Dwapara Yug for 2400, and Kali Yuga will last for 1200 divine years a divine year equalling 360

earthly years. Sanatan tradition holds three of these great ages of this current universe that have already passed away, and we are now living in the fourth yuga the Kali. It is quite hard to look at the meaning of huge quantities of time expressed, the numbers are quite huge.

There are different theories about the meaning of these measurements of time. The four yuga ages may showcase the four phases of evolution during that humans gradually lose awareness of their inner selves and subtle bodies. Sanatan dharma believes that humans have five kinds

Om Mantra is an ancient Sanskrit spiritual symbol in Indian religions. Which was first felt by rishis as they meditated. Eventually, as the experience proliferated, the word came forth and people started chanting it to feel the same experience. OM is also one of the most

important spiritual symbols. It refers to Atman (soul, self within) and Brahman (the entirety of the universe, the ultimate reality, and cosmic knowledge). Om is a sound with a complex meaning. It is the whole universe fused into a single word, representing the union of

Lord Surya has a great significance in Sanatan Dharma. He is considered one of the most significant gods with exceptional capabilities and divine powers. Also, he is the principal source of light on earth and is a supporter of life. Apart from Sanatan dharma Lord Surya is also

preached around the world for his gifts to humankind. There are many advantages of offering water to Lord Surya and various other aspects of worshipping him, with the benefits being scientifically proven. Offering Water to the sun during the early morning promotes the absorption

of Vitamin D in our body that keeps us healthy. When we offer water to the sun with a copper vessel, the lights pass through the water and splits into seven rays of the sun (also known as Seven horses of Surya Bhagwan) and are absorbed by our body and balances the seven colors

Markandeya was a child for whom a choice was made before he was born. His parents had to choose between having a son who would live for a hundred years but would be a fool, or a son who would be a brilliant, shining being but live only for sixteen years.

The parents were wise and they chose the latter, and they bore a brilliant, shining child of enormous capabilities. But as days passed and years rolled by, they were worried for their child and became very tortured as the date of his death came close. They explained to Markandeya

about the boon they had received and the choice they had made. But Markandeya was phenomenally wise and knowledgeable, and he knew the ways of life. So, when the moment of his death came – when the god of death, Yama, came to claim his life – Markandeya did one simple act.
