How a child is born?(Theory of five fires, Panchagni Vidya)

Muktipada Behera, Vedic Student, Bangalore

The reborn theory of a human being is named by Panchagni Vidya(five fires) in Upanishads. Outof all types of living species it addresses the birth of human child because only human is exposed

to theses texts.

According to this theory once a person is dead, the soul is required to be ignited or purified (e.g.

iron ore) five times before converting into a child in next birth. Though this process is not visible

to human eye, it is taken care by nature based on Karma theory. Lets describe it in three phases:

Phase 1:

Once a person is about to die, the Supreme divine (Lord) present in everybodys heart sends

notice all sense organs and other involuntary functionaries like breathing for a final departure

meeting inside heart. Once all organs join, first speech organ is shut down so that person cannot

communicate this secret to outside world. Then rest organs are shutdown one by one until the

last body temperature regulator. The supreme divine does some kind of appraisal of the whole

life activities done by the being and decides the next course of action and species. So the next

type of body itself is decided in the dying human heart before death. It is said the human is aware

of his next body and life decision, but unable to communicate to outer world because the speech

is disabled.

After that the soul with a subtle body departs the old body and moves onward with a good luck.

When the soul departs there is no more warmness in the body. And only after that the dead body

should be cremated. Medical science declares a person dead when the heart-bit stops. But the

warmness in the body is the sign of soul existence in it even after heart-bit stops. Once the soul

departs the body becomes cold. Generally it takes eight hours after heart bit stops.

Phase 2:

The soul moved out through air and sun light vibration. It is subjected into five fires or phases

one by one. These fires are heaven -> cloud (rain) -> earth (vegetables) -> father -> mother. It is

like a car is assembled in a car industry. The industry has different compartments or rooms.

Different parts are assembled in each room and passed into next until a nice and fully assembledcar comes out of last compartment. Similarly dead soul is ignited or assembled in different

compartment of nature. First it moves to heaven. There is no hell in Vedic text. Everybody has to

move through heaven like a pass-through train. Some fortunate may get down if they qualify due

to good Karma and stays there for a prescribed period in heaven. Just like you can stay in USA

based on the visa type and duration. Others just need to cross that country (here heaven) as a

pass-through station.

Once the Visa in heaven expires (or the soul crosses the heaven as an intermediate station), the

soul is dumped into cloud (rain). It is the second fire cloud system carries the soul across

different countries and dumps into earth through rain. If the rain falls into desert and ocean then

the loop breaks and soul has to go back to cloud and wait for next monsoon.

The soul carrying rain needs to fall on the earth where human eatables are cultivated. Earth is thethird fire where soul with cloud body gets converted into vegetables and fruits. And later these

are consumed by a human being.

Fourth fire is father principle. The soul must be associated with human eatables and that food

must be taken by a male human. If the soul converted into animal eatables then it will be born in

that species. Also if a female human eats the soul with vegetable body, then it has to go back to

earth until it is eaten by a male partner.

Fifth and last fire is mother principle. Above male must be in his youth hood and married. A

child or unmarried does not help here. The soul is transferred from male compartment to femalecompartment through copulation. The mother part should be ready to accept and manufacture a

human body. It is the male who carries the soul and transfers to female. And mother just

manufactures a body for it. So the birth of a boy or girl child is decided by male partner (with X-

Y chromosome), not by female partner (with X-X chromosome). Here risk factors like barren

women, old women and women not desiring for child need to be avoided. Modern medical

science says in each ejaculation around three million sperms are transferred into female part.

And only one lucky soul wins out of these three million. It is a great rush to catch hold of a

mother. So you are the most fortunate among three millions. All these are done by nature and

soul is not aware of this. So in a helpless way the blessed soul is now ready to be given a human

body by the compassionate mother.

Phase 3:

It takes more than nine months to manufacture the complete body. And mother does it out of

good will. Hinduism discovers a process to give birth an educated child instead of relying on

after birth education. There are ceremonies like Garbhadan and pumsvan where parent prays to

Lord for a child with good quality and good previous background. Otherwise nature may put an

animal or idiot from previous birth. In foetus, ear is formed first and eye is formed at last. When

child is of three months old, the both ears are fully developed and child can hear whatever

mother hears and talks. Now teaching of the mother is equivalent to teaching the child in thebackground. That is why Hindu pregnant women are kept among good, happy and devotional

surroundings so that child will be in a happy mode. And at this time the child learns all the

family tradition and character etc. So parent needs to be careful about the future outcome. We

have examples like Abhimanyu(the son of Arjuna) learns archeries from mothers womb.

Prahlada (son of Hiranyakashipu, a demon) though born in a demon family became a great saint

because his mother was living in the cottage of Narada during pregnancy. Recently in Bangalore

one nursery school is opened where they admit the pregnant mothers as students expecting the

child will be taught in womb.

All these pre-natal ceremony like seemantonayan and worship of pregnant women are meant to

cheer the child in womb so that family members are introduced and love is communicated to

future baby. During this nine months period a girl slowly converted into a mother and she goesthrough a major physical and psychological change. Whereas a male takes significant time to

convert mentally into a father even after child birth. The family members is expected to provide

the necessary comforts, respect and welcome to these changes in a mother with utmost care.

Some holds the view that this is the basis of hereditary caste system. The embryo is

preconditioned in mother womb from the family. And there is a high possibility that good parent

will be bear good child, bad parent will have bad child, and doctor will have doctor child,

politicians will have a child inclined to ruling.

From the above process it proves that how a mother plays a vital role and final part of deliveringa human product. And the same human being later abuses the mother principle without

understanding criticality and importance of a big process they have gone through. Unfortunately

this teaching is not a part of our curriculum, so people do not acknowledge it. Victory to

motherhood!!! Victory to Divine.
