In Hindu society, spiritualism and religious beliefs have been the guiding principles since time immemorial. They have always been linked with one’s growth and activities undertaken at different stages of life. We carry out rituals as per our religious belief at a particular time. These ceremonies are known as Sanskaras. Their purpose is to give religious and social sanctity to the different stages of physical growth and development. There are a total of sixteen Sanskaras.

In Hinduism, Punsvan Sanskar is an important ritual. The significance of this Sanskar is that it is believed to ready a person for society. By performing this Sanskar good qualities are generated in the native which are equally important for the self and society. A good and responsible citizen enhances the growth and prosperity of a nation. Hence, Punsavan Sanskar has a special place in Vedic astrology.

Punsvan Sanskar is carried out 3 months after impregnation of a woman. The reason for the same is that a child’s brain starts developing after 3 months of its creation. Punsavan Sanskar lays the foundation of the child’s virtue and principles.

This Sanskar is done to ensure that the child born is healthy and growing. Though the child is still in the mother’s womb this ritual is said to have a huge impact on the nature of the child. For example, we all know that the mythical character Abhimanyu, son of Arjuna learned how to break the Chakravyuha when he was in his mother’s womb.

Vedic astrology has auspicious Muhurats for every occasion. It also suggests avoiding inauspicious Muhurats. Similarly, there is a good Muhurat for Punsavan Sanskar which should be followed by people to get positive results. Let’s discuss the determinants while considering Muhurat for this Sanskar.

Nakshatra

Astrologers say that Mrigashira, Pushya, Shravan, Moola, Hasta, Rohini, Uttara Asadha, Punarwasu, Uttar Bhadrapada and Uttara Phalguni are auspicious Nakshatra for Punsvan Sanskar. This ritual will give positive results if it is performed on an auspicious weekday which has the combination of the above-stated Nakshatras.

Tithi

Tithi is also an important factor in considering a Muhurat. Astrologers say that Pratipada, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th, 11th and 13th lunar days are very auspicious for Punsavan Sanskar.

Weekday

According to Vedic astrology Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays are auspicious for fixing the day of Punsavan Sanskar.

Ascendant

It is auspicious if there is a benefic planet in the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th Kendra house, 5th and 9th of Tikon house, and also if there is a malefic planet in the 3rd, 6th or 11th house of the Muhurat Kundali. Ascendant of either of the signs like Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius or Aquarius or their Navamsha is considered excellent in this Vedic ritual.
