Welcoming Womb (A Book on Garbha Maata Sanskar)

Description

Garbha Maata Sanskar – An Overview
Recent trends in society have noted the health sector to be in a state of boom due to the rising awareness of taking care of one’s physical health. Pregnant women are also keeping up with this trend and focusing on how they take care of their bodies and minds. Ayurveda, a branch of health science, offers an all-encompassing guide to how an expecting mother can provide all-around development for herself and the life she is
nurturing inside her. Beliefs in Ayurveda are deep-rooted in traditions and customs that state that both the mother and child need to be nourished, protected, and cared for in the best possible manner. This ideology refers to Garbha Sanskar. The name “Garbha Maata Sanskar” has an intricate meaning: Garbha refers to a foetus or baby, while Maata means the mother, and Sanskar is the process of instilling values and the events involved in doing so. It can be understood as a procedure where the child is imparted certain values and qualities that encourage early learning while developing
a phenomenal bond between the two. The bond parents share with the unborn child is endearing and full of hope. This harmonious process can be divided into three parts:
1. Beeja Sanskar
2. Garbha Sanskar
3. Bala Sanskar
