Samskaras: A Psycho-Social Perspective
The talk focusses on the Psycho-social perspectives associated with the age-old tradition of Samskaras. It begins with an explanation on the Indian concept of Self and connection of the four Purusharthas in this context. The purpose of Samskaras is then explained with the help of examples like Garbhadhana, Vivaha, etc. It emphasizes on their relevance today in terms of how they not only offer solutions to today's social problems but also help in the nivrtti of the individual Self.
