Historical footage of a couple taking the Pancha Samskara. Also known as Samashrayanam, this is basically five rituals or ceremonies which prepare one for surrender to the Lord, Sriman Narayana, and is an essential right of passage for all members of the Srivaishnava community.
The ceremonies are:
1. Tapa - receiving the brands of the holy conch and chakra (disk) of Vishnu
2. Pundaram - receiving the clay markings which signify that the body is a temple of the Lord
3. Dasya nama - receiving a name which identifies one as the eternal servant of the Lord
4. Mantra upadesha - receiving instruction into the recitation of the three sacred mantras
5. Yaga - surrendering at the feet of the Lord and receiving instruction on His worship in day to day life.
