Child<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Why is Karnavedha done? Religious Reasons<\/h2>\n<p>For many Hindus, Karnavedha is a sacrament performed on children. According to the Vedas, it is one of the Shodasa (sixteen) Samskaras that an individual should undergo in his life. The Brahmin community gives more importance to this ceremony than other Hindu sects. Since each of the Shodasa Samskaras holds high spiritual significance, they observe all these Samskaras with various complex rituals, including poojas and prayers.<\/p>\n<p>Karnavedha is considered a Vedic rite of passage with great symbolic and spiritual significance. It is believed that Karnavedha opens the inner ears of the child to receive sacred sounds. The mere hearing of sacred sounds, with concentration, is considered meritorious as it cleanses the mind and nurtures the spirit.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the Benefits of Ear Piercing?<\/h2>\n<p>Karnavedha, or piercing the earlobes, is done to facilitate the wearing of ornaments like earrings. Apart from this, it is believed to have some physiological and therapeutic benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Our ancient belief is that ear-piercing, at an early age, can ensure kids\u2019 brain development and improve their thinking capacity. The ear lobes have a meridian point that connects the right and left hemispheres of the brain, piercing which can help activate both these parts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>According to Susruta, ear piercing can prevent diseases like Hernia and Hydrocele.<\/li>\n<li>The Chinese science of acupuncture states that the acupressure done at a particular point on the ear is believed to cure or prevent asthma. Behind the ear lobe, there is a natural, small microscopic depression that contains nerve endings linked with diseases like bronchial asthma, cough, and tuberculosis.<\/li>\n<li>It is believed that ear piercing can help in maintaining the regularity of the menstrual cycle of girls.<\/li>\n<li>Various cultures advocating ear piercing believe that it can prevent hysteria and many other diseases.<\/li>\n<li>The earrings are believed to help in maintaining the flow of electricity in the human body.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Vedic Protocol for Ear Piercing<\/h2>\n<p>Studies on ear-piercing were done and recorded in the Vedas. It advocates piercing the ear lobes, for both males and females. This part of the ear is considered an intuitive or psychic point. The scriptures recommend gold or copper earrings, and not silver, to be worn here. Gold, combined with amethyst or emerald, is supposed to provide an added positive effect on the function of intuition.<\/p>\n<p>These metal earrings are believed to help in maintaining the flow of electric current in the human body.<\/p>\n<p>Ancient Ayurveda researcher and surgeon Susruta (6th century BC) advocated ear-piercing for the protection of children from diseases. He explicitly suggests the boring of ears for preventing hydrocele and hernia. He has suggested a very cautious procedure for the ceremony. According to him, the ceremony should be performed in the sixth or seventh month, in the bright half, and on an auspicious day.<\/p>\n<p>He says:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The child should be held on the lap of the mother or nurse after the preliminaries.<\/li>\n<li>Then the child should be cuddled and persuaded using toys.<\/li>\n<li>The surgeon should pull the child\u2019s ears with his left hand and bore them slowly at the natural holes that are visible in the sunlight.<\/li>\n<li>If the ears are tender, they should be pierced with a needle, if stiff, with a probe.<\/li>\n<li>After boring, the oil should be applied to the ears using a cotton thread.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Ear-piercing in Modern Day<\/h2>\n<p>Nowadays, in many places, ear piercing has become a simple childhood ritual limited to female children. Parents mostly prefer ear-piercing to be done at a much earlier stage as the skin is soft, and also, it will cause less pain for the babies. Doctors recommend ear-piercing after the first or the booster dose of the DPT vaccinations, which is when the baby is between 3 and 6 months old. These vaccinations can protect the child from infections that can be caused by the piercing of the earlobe.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, some people prefer to go to family goldsmiths who do ear-piercing. In recent days, people have preferred to go to a doctor, a beautician, or a jewellery shop. It is always good to use a pure gold wire or tiny ear stud for piercing, for other metals like nickel may cause infections or irritations. One who does the piercing should sterilise the equipment or tool, and an antiseptic solution should be applied to their hand and the baby\u2019s ears.<\/p>\n<p>Piercing has to be done exactly in the middle of the earlobe, where there are fewer nerves and cartilage. An experienced ear piercer will be able to locate this spot easily.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false,"generated_by_av":true},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karnavedha is the ceremony where the ears of children are pierced.
