19 I have been told that there are 16 sanskaar (sacraments of life) described in the great texts of Hinduism. I am aware of naamkaran (naming ceremony), janeu or yagnopavit (sacred thread), vivah (marriage) and antim sanskar (cremation). Please explain in brief what are all the 16 sanskars and how does one accomplish each of these rites of ...
Antyesthi or Antim Sanskar (Cremation) is part of 16 Samskaras as disscussed here. When someone says " He or She is very Sanskari "; they refer behavioral traits of a person such as compassion, patience, non-envy, purity of thought speech & body, inner calm & peace, positive attitude and generosity etc. which are included in 40 sanskaras.
There are 16 sanskar in Hinduism in which 9th sanskar is Karn Chhedan. Why is it required ? I googled and found it is done for good health. Can anyone explain it logically. I don't see it relatable.
Antim sanskar is also referred to as Antyeṣṭi (अन्त्येष्टि) is a composite Sanskrit word of antya and iṣṭi, which respectively mean "last" and "sacrifice". Together, the word means the "last sacrifice". Similarly, the phrase Antima Sanskara literally means "last sacred ceremony, or last rite of passage".
