What are the rituals performed during upanayanam

I heard nowadays instead of shaving the head during upanayanam there is a mantra for not shaving the head.is it true.

I know about the following rituals.

1. Udhagasanthi
2. Nandhi
3. Brahmopadesam
4. Kumarabojanam
5.Bitcharisi

What other rituals are there for Upanayanam
 
hi all,

The Upanayana samskaaram includes receiving the sacred thread (yagnopaveeta
dhaaranam), the last meal with the mother (pankti bhojanam), shaving the head as a
symbol of giving up egos (vapanam), bachelorhood dress attiring (vatu vastra
dhaaranam), initiation into the Gayatri Mantra (brahmoepadesam; Gayatri
mantroepadesam), the teacher taking assurances from the student to perform duties of
brahmacharya regularly with devotion (guroerupadesam and shishya vignaapanam), holy
fire sacrifice (samidaadaanam; homam) etc. The ceremony ends with bhikshaatanam and
the blessings of the elders (aaseervaadam). The student during his entire life of
brahmacharya has to adequately raise the satvic food (food mild on stomach-vegetarian)
through alms, as mendicants do, for him and his guru, just enough for the day. This is
called Bhikshaatanam and the first bhiksha (giving alms) is by the mother at the
upanayana ceremony.

namaste....
