Title: Svikaranam
Author: Pujya Swami Dayananda
Publisher: AVG, Saylorsburg
Description: Svikaranam is conceived of as a graduation ceremony similar to the Jewish bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah. This program is ideally suited for children between the ages of ten and  fifteen years. The student will spend about six weeks to three months learning the chanting of the selected verses from the Upanisads, Mahabharata, Ramayana, Bhagavad Gita and some traditional Shlokas. These verses and mantras were selected by Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati and also by Swami Tattvavidananda Saraswati. Daily chanting of these can be regarded as Nitya-Karma. After the student learns to chant all the verses, the Svikaranam ceremony should be held.
