Garbh sanskar

= Opportunity =

Background
Children/Baby's are produced casually without understanding the importance and this leads to a lack of desired basic qualities which a living organism should have.

What is the Opportunity
With 250 babies born each minute in the world, how many people can the Earth sustain if we continue to produce people who lack the basic qualities of humans to promote harmony within humans and nature? If we would have got high-quality babies, the existing population would have been more happier than what it is today with good moral and ethical values to help us sustain a more enriching life while preserving nature.

Today people are selfish, greedy and are looking to dominate each other. Families are also not able to sustain themselves with good relations or thoughts.

What awareness programs have been conducted till date to produce good babies
A lot of spiritual organizations around the world are promoting Garbh Sanskar. However, the seriousness to adopt and follow is lacking in people. The reach of such a program has been very limited to a few millions in the world.

It is also observed that many countries adopt scientific courses, classes and conduct awareness programs at community levels, online classes for support and guidance on pregnancy and child birth. Interestingly, some countries include YOGA programs to support Women’s Whole Health. For example, Jen Keeler & Yoga Momma at Seattle in America offers the Yoga Moms, specially designed plan for supporting and leveraging pregnant women. For nearly 12 years, the Yoga Moms center is conducting counseling, workshops and teacher training programs throughout western Washington. Primarily, the center teaches women in transition to motherhood, helping them to navigate and build community in parenting. It has the experts who have extensive training and experience in prenatal and postnatal yoga, reproductive health and menopausal support. The Yama Yoga Studios in Qatar, Doha offers classes in prenatal and postnatal Yoga.

What facts make this as a mandatory exercise
The pot can be given any shape by the artisan with the clay and similarly, the mother is an artisan and whatever goes in and all the experiences of the mother makes the baby in her womb. The body of the child is made in the mother's womb and hence it is very simple to understand that whatever the mother does has a huge impact on the child. Research indicates that a baby's brain develops up to 60 percent while in the womb. From the seventh month onwards, your baby can hear and respond to sounds. Opinions, however, differ on whether you should actively try to stimulate your baby's development or not. “Matrudevo bhava" meaning the mother is higher consciousness and it is true as a newborn‘s whole world is only her Mother‘! A crying baby finds peace in his mother‘s lap quickly. We have lot of Hindu mythology stories to showcase the impact of garbh sanskar. Research suggests human ­foetuses can experience tastes and smells in the womb; by seven months, the fetus’s taste buds are fully developed. And babies seem to prefer these familiar tastes once they are out in the world.

What are the recent examples to support this case - which can be quoted to make it more compelling
We have not done any detailed study to showcase the results. However, we observe that children who have good parents with high moral values also correspond to more or less similar behavior during their childhood days and parents who have been greedy and selfish have given birth to similar children. We can look at popular personalities and politicians to justify our statements. However, we need to build good system to ensure that we actually collect good data on babies who have born after following the right process of garb sanskar and babies who have born casually with little care and attention. The results will bring more confidence in people to follow the garb sanskar process properly with lot of care.

What are the scientific studies to support this opportunity
According to Harvard professor Heidelise Als, Professor of Psychology, Harvard Medical School, “the womb is such an ideal environment for the unborn child”. Her research shows that unborn infants respond to more than just physical touch, they respond to their mother’s emotional state as well. She says that when mothers watch sad films, babies move less. But when a mother laughs, ultrasound images show that “the baby kind of trampoline bounces.” And when the mother laughs harder, the baby bounces even more exuberantly which is fascinating”. The research study published by American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), says that ‘Babies Learn to Recognize Words in the Womb’. The new research by Dr. Eino Partanen, Cognitive Neuroscientist of the University of Helsinki, has proved that the babies in the womb can hear the rhythm of speech, rhythm of music etc. He says that “the fetus can learn much more detailed information than we previously thought and that the memory traces are detectable after birth”. In the course of adding more of facts to Indian mythology, the study provides the Scottish Government, NHS’s (Health Scotland ) entire procedure of ‘Hearing and listening in the womb’ from 0 to 24 weeks and then till birth, with a practical research. It says between 0 and 16 weeks is an early stage the unborn baby is surrounded by sound, vibrations and motions which are ‘felt’ through the skin and skeletal systems. In 2008, Graven and Browne found that voices can be heard in the womb above the natural noises of the mother and other distorted noises from outside. Intonation patterns of pitch, stress and rhythm can be heard clearly as well as music. There are various studies into fetal listening. In 1992, Shahidullah and Hepper illustrate that reactive listening begins at around 16 weeks. This is significant as the ear is not fully complete until 24 weeks. At 16 weeks the unborn baby is particularly receptive to its mother’s voice. It is fascinating that around 24 weeks, the babies develop preferences for music while in the womb. Fridman’s study in 2000 found that the babies’ heart rates increased and that they moved around in rhythm to the music.

= Why ??? =

Why "Garb Sanskar" should be promoted
The below reasons are strong enough to promote garbh sanskar as a mandatory event before birth. 1. The birth happens with conception and energies of individuals and this lays the foundation for the birth of the child. Nothing else makes the birth happen and hence the individuals involved to make a child born have to be in a very good stable and pure state to produce something better. A defective machine can produce only defective products and a good perfect machine can deliver great products. 2. The child grows basis all the inputs received by the mother let it be food, thoughts, experiences, sounds or visuals seen by the mother. The input will only become an output. The body is made in the mother's womb only. 3. Ancient stories and latest scientific research have shown the impact on babies. 4. Once a seed is sown, it will give the same fruits after the tree grows. We cannot expect fruits from weeds which are grown on wasteland without any care. We cannot leave everything on luck and hence the right seed which we sow will give us the right output as desired. We cannot expect a weed to give fruits later in its lifetime.

Why the programs launched have failed
1. No clear benefits explained for people to consider it. 2. No data to articulate and showcase the impact of practicing the garb sanskar properly. 3. No seriousness on the people to follow, even if they are aware of it. People follow half-heartedly which does not help them to see the best results. Mothers are not aware of proper scientific knowledge about GS, the source of whatever obscure idea and concept they have is mainly from sr. family members in the form of spiritual preaching hence there is a need for proper training of scientific knowledge about garbha sanskar which is missing. 4. No advertisement is being done on a large scale to attract people's attention. 5. No knowledge on this topic to the doctors who can guide the parents properly. Doctors are not trained and not qualified to help the parents. 6. Lack of planning done by the parents before and after conception takes place. The pregnancy happens with casual intercourse. 7. No support from government or law-making agencies to make garb sanskar as a mandatory process before pregnancy. 8. No support for poor people to get all the best facilities during pregnancy. 9. Doctors and consultants charge good money to help people follow garb sanskar properly. 10. No good literature for people to understand and follow is available in the market which people can get it easily, to learn and understand by themselves.

Why we have not given importance to garbh sanskar and family planning, which it should have got hundred years before or even now
1. Selfish nature and dominating attitude to just have the numbers to promote their group identity was the core hidden agenda across the world. 2. Lack of communication or media channels or print technology to spread it and make it popular. 3. Focus on reactive measures were only looked and people did not think about preventive measures to improve human values and mindset. 4. Lack of trust and faith in the garbh sanskar and with no practical data or proofs. People have been promoting Garbh Sanskar only with ancient stories of thousand years and not with realtime living examples. 5. No visionary powerful leader in the world which could make the governments or public make it a mandatory norm or culture to follow garbh sanskar. 6. Having more children as social security and growing the family was the culture as the government could not help people during their old age. No innovation or creativity to promote family planning by people themselves. 7. No benefits of having a small and well-cultured family which helps the society. 8. Differentiation in boy and girl and making it mandatory to have a girl to ensure that the family lineage continues. 9. Shyness to discuss family planning within the family. social culture did not promote family members to discuss family planning. 10. Marriage still is not understood by youngsters. It is being done to enjoy life and not to make our life complete with the partner and the child.

-3. Market the benefits of planning a good marriage, pregnancy, and parenting with data and facts to ensure that people plan and take up the responsibility to build a good society for everyone as their primary mandatory responsibility. -2. Couples who are married and have commitment should only be encouraged to give birth as without any responsibility to grow and take care of the child, it will impact the life of the child. Currently, we see so many children in orphanages who are not taken care of properly. -1. People who are getting married should get proper training and counseling so that they can start a meaningful life. Today, marriages have just become a formality and its importance is not even understood by the youngsters. Couples who are planning to give birth to child should undergo counseling sessions, to understand what does it mean to become parents and check if they are ready to perform all the duties and responsibilities to bring up the child properly. Ideally, couples should be certified after undergoing free counseling sessions. 0. The parents should be mentally stable, calm and should have a good relationship with each other. The stability of husband and wife is very essential before they move ahead to conceive the baby, three months before. The act of conceptions should be with love and not with lust which emerges after stress. Most of the sexual activity is done with a sense of pleasure to the body or to relieve stress which should be prohibited during the conception of the baby. 1. As much as possible the conception should be planned by eating the right food(sattvick) and with great love and affection which will help in developing the relationship and also get a very good baby. The mother should try to avoid all the negative thoughts and always should have positive thoughts after conception. This is a very critical period when the process for a new life has been started. People in our society feel shy to speak and plan about the conception and hence education needs to be provided to all the family members who can help the couple in getting an excellent baby which will benefit everyone. 2. The food intake is very important after conception and should take good care of a healthy veggie diet and avoid non-veg and all other toxic substances like alcohol or tobacco entering the body. 3. Thoughts and experiences are even more important from day 1 both for the mother and the father. Both of them should try to stay close to each other and look at living a life with as much purity as possible. By avoiding lies, lust, anger, greed, jealousy, hatredness and practice meditation and yoga as prescribed regularly. 4. An ideal Garbha Sanskar can be more effective by means of sound in the form of mantras, shlokas or verses because the rhythmic sounds are captured by a child's subconscious mind very effectively. The vibrations of sound waves can influence both mother and her foetus, therefore, the music designed for Garbha Sanskar is useful for the health and personality development of foetus. Even all the visuals and photos seen by the mother have an impact on the development of the fetus. 5. The mother should be active as much as possible to ensure that the child is active and does not have any complications during birth. 6. The mother is actually the artisan of the child and both the parents and family can create an environment for the mother to experience, read, visualize, think and hear about the qualities which they expect to have in the child. This can be done by reading, visualizing, hearing or experiencing the qualities by the mother. Every thought and action of the mother has an impact on the baby and hence all the care should be taken to make the perfect baby as desired. The family should not be confused while designing and freedom should be given to parents. Clarity of thought is very important to get the best results. (Confusion between parents should not exist while they are designing the child) 7. Today both girl and boy have equal importance in the society and hence it should be of least importance. The major focus should be on designing the child as they want or expect. 8. Pregnant ladies should be given the utmost respect and care in society or at work. 9. Poor people should be given all the support and guidance for their first baby (free of cost) and should educate the importance of having a single well-planned baby for themselves and for society. 10. Promote One world One Family with one quality kid as a cultural norm and explain the benefits of having one high-quality child. 11. Provide parenting training and courses as mandatory for parents to ensure that they bring up the child properly and also improve themselves while doing so. Parents are the first teachers and hence the need for them to be educated on how to give right moral values with their actions is even more important. After doing the Grabh sanskar, if the parents are not able to showcase the right moral values all the efforts will go in vain and hence the seed which is now growing into plant needs to be watered daily with right actions of parents which the child sees it practically and automatically makes the child to get programmed sub-consciously. 12. Parents of both girl and boy after marriage can live together, so there is no need for the boy or girl to leave their parents. The collective wealth of both the families will help the new couple to start a new journey in their life and enjoy their life to the fullest.

In addition, following a Sattvik diet and lifestyle, speaking the truth, practicing non-violence, living in harmony with nature, following social ethics and conducts, are all help in the complete well being of a person. Following these principles leads to the formation of high-quality Dhatus (tissues) and increases the quantity and quality of Ojus, a vital factor for health and immunity. By following these factors the Satwa Guna increases which helps one to realize and attain spiritual bliss. The root cause of all the deeds of a person is his mana. It coerces him to do either good or bad deeds. If his mind is predominant with Satva it leads to good activity.

= Understanding the role of spouse =

In India, wife is called Dharam Patni, as she is wise enough to guide the family on the path of righteousness. These qualities are actually in women which they get by birth. However, with our lifestyle and environment in which we live, most of the good natural traits go away and are imposed by wrong virtues and hence cultivating and performing the right actions to retain the virtues is very essential. 1.

= Maa/baap Sanskar - Understanding the role of Mother/Father =

The role of the mother to bring the child is full of divinity and grace which no one else can offer to the child. However, in today's context mothers need to actually understand what is their role and how they build the family, society, nation and the world. 1.

= Benefits = 1. We will get high-quality children which can help the society to move in the right direction and help the entire family to cultivate good habits. The population will not be a burden on nature. 2. One quality kid will help in making the parents live a complete life and help them to provide all the necessary requirements to take care of the child and grow properly by giving complete attention. 3. The cost to manage the second child will be not there and can be utilized to grow the first child by giving them whatever is required. No quarreling between siblings and no problem of differentiation between children. 4. Children will play with other children and hence will develop social skills and this will also help uniting other families together. 5. We have limited resources and we will be able to plan our population accordingly considering the growth of technology and AI the need of humans will gradually reduce. If, we continue with the same trend of population humans will start killing humans just for surviving in the near future. 6. It will help the parents to improve and the entire family will learn lot of good things which will bring transformational change with the birth of the baby. 7. Good children will be able to collaborate and bring harmony which our elders have not been able to do so easily. 8. The world will be one family and every person will start helping each other whenever required. The dependency to produce more children to get all the support during old age will not be required.

The world population will be of high quality 2 billion people by 2400 A.D
