	Samskara Shuddhi - Cleansing of traumas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Samskaras are the fundamental impressions left on the heart of an individual, which are acquired in the present and the previous lives through various experiences.
		These samskaras prove to be the coded form of the entire life of an individual and therefore the success or failure of a person fully depends on the kind of Samskaras in him.
		Samskara Shuddhi is a process, which cleanses you deeply of your fears, heart's conflicts and limitations, rectifies negative life patterns that one might face and in place puts positive life patterns.

	Sacraments - Samskaras
		Samskaras cover the entire life of a Hindu from the moment he is conceived in the mother’s womb till his death- inclusive of his funeral ceremonies and thereafter, for the smooth passage of his soul to another world.
		Samskaras mirror self-expression of joys and sorrows, hopes and ambitions, which man exhibits in a dignified way when he celebrates these functions with feasts, presents, decoration, music and also in funeral ceremonies in an appropriate mood.
		In short, the whole gamut of Samskaras is designed to channel the entire energies of man towards the creation of a perfect secular as well as spiritual life in himself in a manner that is not only ingenious but essentially practical, dignified and compulsory in the interest of all-round human welfare.

	Regression Past-Life Therapy for Here & Now Freedom. The Book by Samuel Sagan. Excerpts
		The tendency of the samskara to generate a wave of fear whenever remembering the accident is called the dynamism of the samskara.
		Samskaras can therefore be regarded as imprints or scars in the astral body, as will be examined in detail throughout this book.
		Some major samskaras can be created by quite minor events, for the samskara is not due to the event itself, but to your emotional reaction to it.

	Book Reviews: SamskAra
		Samskara is the story of life in an agrahara, a narrow street in which brahmins belonging to the Madhwa community (followers of guru Madhwa; Shankara, Madhwa and Ramanuja are the three most famous philosophers of ancient India) live.
		The agrahara of Samskara is situated in a tiny hamlet called Durvasapura, somewhere in the western ghats (mountain range) of southern India.
		The novel "Samskara" deals with eternal questions; with the question of who should cremate Naranappa, a brahmin who has rejected brahminhood, with the question of what Praneshacharya, a pious man in whom life is finally stirred by the female contact, should now do.

		So the origin of this Samskara belongs to a period when the Aryans were far advanced from their primitive conditions.
		A child born in her without Garbhadhana attains impurities." They were also of the opinion that this Samskara should be performed only in the first conception, as the Ksetra once consecrated lends purity to every conception in future.
		Logically speaking, the Garbhadhana was a Garbha Samskara in the beginning, and the second school represents the tendency of simplifying and omitting the Samskara and, certainly, is of a later origin.

		Now, my samskara, my well-worn, carved-in-stone, way of approaching issues, has always played itself out to slant pretty hard toward the diligent, determined, perfectionist's approach (which doesn't mean anything about being perfect but more about being uncomfortable with making mistakes).
		So, my perfectionist samskara should have dictated, upon discovery of the mistake, that I shift into high gear like an over-eager ninth grader lobbying for the debatable extra credit points to get the A+ rather than the A. But I noticed something different this time.
		As my perfectionist samskara takes on new, lighter, less complicated shades, I continue to learn to experience the joy in the doing and not to be so invested in the results.

	SanathanaDharma
		In the earliest enumeration of the Samskara by Gautama, the Vedarambha and the Godana are not mentioned.
		There was one more change in the history of the samskaras which necessitated the existence of the vedarambha as a separate samskara.
		Therefore it was thought necessary to perform another samskara, besides the upanayana, to mark the beginning of the vedic study.

		In the imprinting process of meditation that creates the samskara of one- pointedness or restraint, is it the accumulation of those one-pointed samskaras that burn the other samskaras that destroys the notion of the outer world?

		That is, by perfecting the niyamas or self-disciplines of Patanjali's eight-limbed path, particularly tapas (austerity), svadhyaya (self-study), and isvara pranidhana (devotion to the Lord), a yogi erases samskara (subliminal activators) from his subconscious.
		Samskara are like karma scars that result from good or bad behavior.
		They are indelible memories, imprinted on the subconscious, that propel the conscious mind to act; they are what dictate a person's birth, life experiences, and death.

		The uncertainty on the distinction as to what is Good and what is bad is perhaps the oldest question in the history of humankind.
		This ceaseless conflict has been time and again depicted not only by creative minds through the media of art and literature, but also through the very thoughts and actions of people, manifesting itself by raising questions in their lives, and at times, finding its way into the pages of history.
		Ananthamurthy’s award winning novel ‘Samskara’ explores this eternal question and takes a deeper look at the perpetual paradox of ‘Good’ and ‘Bad’.
