The Baby's first rituals
The Baby's first rituals are done to create the self-awareness of the five sense organs of sound and touch.
Ears: Usually two stones are gently rubbed or tapped near to the ears of the baby. Or a conch shell is blown gently near the ears.
Eyes: A lamp light is circambulated in front of the yes of the child.
Taste: A small speck of honey is applied on tongue (becareful not to give sweet sense because they tend to be addicted to sweet).
Touch: Sacred thread or golden jewels are worn on the baby.
