Suvarnaprashan Sanskar

“Spending time with your children is more important than spending money on them.”
One of the sixteen Samskaras (rituals) which were described in ancient scriptures is Suvarnaprashana. Suvarnaprashana means to administer Suvarna (gold) in liquid form with the help of honey, ghee (clarified butter) and some herbal medicines. Suvarnaprashana has been extensively described in main reference book i.e Brihitrayee Granthas. Kashyapa is the main pioneer of Kaumarbhritya (paediatrics) who described Suvarnaprashana vidhi in detail with its benefits.
सुवर्णप्राशन हि एतत मेधाग्निबलवर्धनम् |
आयुष्यं मंगलम पुण्यं वृष्यं ग्रहापहम् ||

“ मासात् परममेधावी क्याधिर्भिनर च धृष्यते। |
षड्भिर्मासै: श्रुतधर: सुवर्णप्राशनाद भवेत् || ”



Who Should Have Swarna Prashana (Suvarna Prashana) ?
Swarna Prashna can be given to anyone aged 0 to 16 years. It can be taken daily for a period of 30 days or can be taken specifically on the pushya nakshatra.

Swarna Prashan can be given every day as per the below chart:
  • Infants to 5 years – 1 drop every day.
  • 5 to 10 years – 2 drops every day.
  • 10 to 16 years – 3 drops every day.
When to take ?
  • On an empty stomach preferably in the morning.
  • Do not have food at least for 30 minutes after consumption of swarnaprashan.

Importance of Pushya Nakshatra For Swarna Prashna
It is recommended that Swarna Prashna should be taken on pushya nakshatra. Pushya refers to nourishment and pushya nakshatra is one of the most auspicious of the 27 nakshatras. The symbol of pushya nakshtra is the cow udder. If observed on the pushya nakshatra, the stars in the sky appear in an arrangement that that creates cow udder. Cow udder is associated with nourishment and so the Swarna Prashna is taken on pushya nakshatra to get optimum nourishment and benefits. Swarna Prashna can be consumed on any other day, however, the efficacy can vary and it may not be as effective as pushya nakshatra.
