During ceremony the father places the sacred thread across the child's left shoulder under the advice of Guru .The sacred thread consists of three strands signifying Brahma, Vishnu and Siva. This represents also
Jnana, Karma and Bhakti.Next Moonji a girdle made out of Munja grass is tied around the waist of the child. This is to protect his purity and to keep evils away. The third important part is Gayatri Mantra. * This Mantra is whispered into the right ear of the child by the father .All the above should be done under the guidance of the Guru /Priest.
