Under this sacrament, the person is given the
knowledge of the Vedas.
That means: the study of Vedic Vidya leads to
the disappearance of all sins, and hence these wrongdoings get eliminated from
one’s life as well as all the achievements are successfully attained. Many
scholars look at Vedaramba Sanskar
with the Akshargyan sanskar. According
to them, neither Vedas can be studied without acquiring knowledge of the
letters nor are the writings scriptures possible. Therefore, they emphasize and
focus on Akshargyan sanskar before Vedaramba Sanskar. Many scholars think
that in the beginning, the person had no knowledge of the script/letters. That
is why the Vedas were studied only by Gurmukh (guru’s speech).

persons should begin to incorporate the knowledge into itself. There is no

times this ritual had special significance in human life.
After Yagyopavit Sanskar, the children were
sent to gurukulas under the guidance of appropriate Acharyas to become familiar

taught his disciples to follow the Brahmacharya fast and promised to live a
modest life along with this only after taking the test, they used to study. All
of our Vedas are the intact reserves of knowledge.
