Activities such as changes in diet and life style are recommended to pregnant women through the practice of garbh sanskar. These practices ensure that the mother is healthy and in a positive state of mind. Thus while garbh sanskar is believed to benefits the baby, it is not focused solely on the child. In fact, the hormonal secretions activated by the mother’s thoughts can also impact the baby in her womb. Modern studies have proved that a foetus can respond to external stimulus. There is now a growing baby of scientific evidence that supports the practices related to garbh sanskar and its effect on the unborn child. While most pregnant mothers do it as a feel- good factor, it does have more deep rooted benefits too. That’s why you see mothers speaking to their baby bump or even making an effort to think good thoughts or do things that soothe the baby. It might sound odd but ask any mother and she is sure to tell you that bonding with the baby starts as soon one conceives. The practice has been a part of hindu tradition since time immemorial and is evidenced by stories of how garbh sanskar had a very positive effect on mythological characters like abhimanyu, astabakra and prahlad who were enlightened in their mother’s womb. It is traditionally believed that a child’s mental and behavioral development starts in the womb as it can be influenced by the mother’s emotional state while she carries the baby. So, garbh sanskar translates into the process of educating the mind of unborn baby. The word garbh in sanskrit refers to foetus in the womb, and sanskar means education of the mind. The knowledge of garbh sanskar dates back to ancient scriptures and is included in the ayurveda. Garbh sanskar has gained popularity as an enabler for the mental and physical development of the baby. A healthy pregnancy is necessary to ensure the baby’s well- being after birth too. Every parent wants the best for their child.
