Samskara is a versatile and very important Sanskrit word that is often used in Hinduism in a variety of ways. Most commonly the word means the various purificatory actions done for sanctifying and refining the body, mind and intellect of a person. The performance of these samskara-s is essential to make an individual a full-fledged member of the Hindu community. The western scholars generally translate the word as ‘ritual’ into English. Ritual or ceremony just means a series of actions done mechanically without any rationale or deep significance behind them. In this video discussion Rajiv and Babaji show why such a translation is erroneous and leads to a gross misunderstanding of the meaning of this Sanskrit term.
