भारतीय संस्कृति में संस्कारों का विशेष महत्व है । संस्कार हमारे जीवन के आधार हैं । संस्कार का अर्थ होता है शुद्ध करना , साफ करना , चमकाना और भितरी रूप का प्रकाशित करना । हमारी दिनचर्या की भाँति हमारी जीवनचर्या भी निसमित है । जन्म से लेकर मृत्युपर्यन्त के मानव जीवन का गम्भीर अध्ययन करके महर्षि दयनन्द ने मनुष्य के पूर्ण विकास के लिए ऐसा विकास जिसमें शरीर , मन , आत्मा तीनों की उन्नति हो , जिन सुनहरे नियमों की रचना की है उन्हें हम अपनी जीवनचर्या के नियम कहते हैं । हमारे संस्कार भी इसी जीवनचर्या के प्रमुख अंग हैं । – आईए महर्षि दयानन्द कृत संस्कार विधि द्वारा सोलह संस्कारों की पूर्ण विधि जानें । अंग्रेजी में भी उपलब्ध ।
The Samskāravidhi revived the practice of the Panchamahāyajnas , and the sixteen Samskāras . It represents the synthetic view of the rishis on the Samskāras . It is the authority on the Samskāras . It is not a manual only for the Purohitas . It is a guide book for all people of all classes . It is like the lighthouse in the ocean of life . It conveys the universal message of the Vedas and the rishis to build a better individual and a better world . Its message is for the brahmachari , the acharya , the grihasthi , the vānaprasthi , and the sanyasin , that is , for all classes of people . It is right for all people of all Varnas to perform the Garbhādhāna and other holy Samstāras sacraments prescribed by the Vedas . These sacraments sanctify the body and enhance purification here in this world , and in the hereafter too . -Manusmriti 2/1 . It is absolutely right for all the people to perform the Samskāras , because by their performance the Sharira ( body ) and the atman ( soul ) are refined , and Dharma , Artha , Kāma and Moksha are be attained and the children become more cultured and noble . – Maharishi SvamiDayanandSarasvati .
