Garbh Sanskar

What is Garbh Sanskar?

Garbh Sanskar comes from the 5000 year old Ayurvedic science, which lays out guidelines on pre pregnancy preparation, care during pregnancy and post delivery regimen, for both the mother and father.

Hinduism consists of a total of 16 sanskars that a human being will receive throughout his life, Garbh Sanskar being the 2nd sanskar after the conception (Garbhaadhaan sanskar). “Garbh” means womb and “sanskar”’ means imprints. Garbh sanskar implies all the imprints that a child receives in the mother’s womb. It is a scientific process of giving birth to the best and a healthy progeny.

“Sanskars” can also be understood as “transformation”. The process of doing a sanskar is used to bring about a change in the property of something. For example – When culture is added to warm milk, it turns into curd. It’s a “sanskar” performed on the milk that brought about “transformation” and a change in its “properties”. When raw rice is cooked in hot water, it swells and turns soft & sweet. It’s a “sanskar” performed on raw rice to “transform” it and bring a change in its “properties”.

Similarly, when the child is in the womb, it is “transformed” through the imprints it receives via sound, sight, touch, taste and smell. The sacrament, enlightenment or education imparted to a “Garbh” is what we call Garbh Sanskar. It is a process of value addition.

Garbh Sanskar provides month wise guidelines to the expectant mother with regard to her food habits, the kind of literature to be read, the kind of music to be listened to, various activities to engage in for the foetus’ brain development, prioritizes the mother’s mental and emotional well being, promotes bonding between the parents, self care rituals for the mother and the overall lifestyle the mother should follow during, before and after her pregnancy.

Importance of Garbh Sanskar:

When we think of buying a new car, we do a thorough homework on the kind of features we would want, price range, brand, durability etc. While buying a new dress, we look at the material, colour, pattern, pricing etc. Before making any big decisions, there is always a certain amount of preparation and planning that goes in it.

Similarly, when one decides to have a child, it needs to be planned for. Bringing a life into this world and raising it is one of the most beautiful experiences of human life but the most responsible one as well. Hence, it should not be done on a whim or without adequate mental & physical preparation. Hence Garbh Sanskar!

Because of fast paced lifestyles, food habits, sleep, daily routines etc have become very poor and mental stress is on the rise. All of these affect the quality of the egg and the sperm and thus your unborn baby. A mother’s health also faces a lot of challenges if she has not conceived in a healthy state. Garbh Sanskar’s pre pregnancy preparation program helps you align your food habits & lifestyle to conceive with the healthiest ‘seeds’ possible. The quality of the seed sown determines the quality of the plant!

With more & more people moving out to study and work, social & familial structures are changing. A lot of the ancient wisdom of Garbh Sanskar would be passed onto mothers via the elders of the family in earlier times. But most couples nowadays do not have access to this knowledge and the resources to learn about it. All the 3 programs of Garbh Sankar equip them to conceive naturally, have a healthy pregnancy and an efficient postpartum recovery.

It also helps prevent genetic diseases and various mental health disorders in children. A child conceived through Garbh Sanskar is often observed to be good at academics & co-curriculars, reaches various milestones slightly faster, has a faster grasping ability, enhanced critical & analytical skills, more empathy, higher emotional intelligence, more patience etc. It enhances the best traits received from the parents.

Programs:

The entire process of Garbh Sanskar is divided into 3 parts – pre pregnancy preparation, care during pregnancy and post delivery regimen. It starts with the couple preparing their minds & bodies before conception. The couple takes anywhere from 3 to 6 months to prepare a healthy pregnancy – the duration depends on one’s individual health condition. Once the mother has conceived, there are month wise guidelines for each of the 9 months on food, lifestyle, activities etc that and a few activities would include the father as well. Once the baby is born, the mother will be given a complete Ayurvedic postpartum dietary & lifestyle regimen, also called as Sutika Paricharya in Ayurveda. This regimen will be for the first 6 months post delivery.
