A Once-in-a-Lifetime Ritual for Royce, Drayush & Yajna 🙏
Dear Friends and Well-Wishers,
We would like to take a moment to share a very special milestone in our children’s lives – a sacred journey that recently took place in our family. ❤️
Royce and Drayush recently underwent their Upanayan Sanskar, the Janeu or sacred thread ceremony, an ancient rite of passage in Hindu Dharma that signifies the formal beginning of a child’s journey into knowledge, self-discipline, and righteous living. As described in our Vedas and Shastras, this ritual marks the start of Brahmacharya Ashram – the phase of life focused on learning and personal growth. It is not just a cultural tradition but a spiritual awakening and a lifelong foundation for character building.
The celebrations began with the beautiful and vibrant Kasar Batne ceremony. Surrounded by close family members, we blessed Royce, Yajna and Drayush with love and laughter while singing traditional songs, dancing with joy, and making the symbolic kasar laddoos. This joyful prelude set the tone for what would become one of the most unforgettable events of our lives.
Later that evening, we held the traditional Haldi ceremony, where turmeric paste was applied to the children with prayers for purity, health, and protection. The house echoed with music and dance late into the night, bringing everyone – young and old – together in celebration.
The next day was the main Upanayan ritual, led by our family priest. It was a long but powerful day, stretching from early morning to late evening. Despite the exhaustion, all Royce, Drayush and Yajna (who also underwent her Gunyo Cholo ceremony) stayed calm, respectful, and engaged throughout. Their grace and composure in such a spiritually intense event showed us that the first lesson of this ritual — to control one’s anger, ego, and frustration and to adapt with humility — had already begun to take root. 🙏
This entire ceremony was made possible with the immense support and dedication of Royce’s and Yajna's mama (maternal uncle) and extended family. Without their love and effort, we could never have imagined celebrating with such warmth and scale. Over 700 relatives, villagers, and well-wishers gathered to bless our children — truly a humbling and unforgettable experience.
With love,
Yubaraj & Rita Sedai
(Parents of Royce & Yajna)
