We were so fortunate to have Shailesh Uncle conduct Saanvi's Annaprashana. The Annaprashana was so special because it wasn't just another ritualistic Hindu ceremony, but it had so much meaning because Shailesh took such effort to explain the meaning of everything to us. He started off by reminding us with "Ishavasyam Idam Sarvam", God resides everywhere. The Annaprashana is the 4th Sanskar of the sixteen where a baby is given solid food for the first time. The baby's first food is a mixture of rice, milk, ghee and a drop of honey. The food is first offered to God, so the first food the baby is given is prasad. Saanvi loved the little mixture and was excited to try something new. Thank you so much Shailesh Uncle and Geeta Aunty for making her Annaprashana so meaningful!
