she carries the baby. The practice has
been a part of Hindu tradition since
time immemorial. It is evident from
mythological stories that how garbha
samskara has had a very positive
effect on characters like Abhimanyu,
Astavakra and Prahlad who were
enlightened in their mothers' wombs.
The activities of the mother during
pregnancy in the form of prayer (good
rational thoughts), Manshakti (positive
emotion), conversation with the foetus
(talk) or expression of feeling (touch) is
not only recognized by the unborn
baby but also has positive effects on
physical and mental health. Hence,
Garbha samskara is a scientific way of
moulding the unborn child's mental
health.
Garbha samskara is an intentional
activity that helps develop an intuitive
connection with the unborn baby. It
increases communication and bonding
with baby, and it can transmit positive
thought, love and emotions to the
foetus. This increases the likelihood of
the baby.
List of Garbha Samskara activities
for pregnant women
According to Ayurveda, Garbha
samskara is one of the best ways to
give birth to a healthy baby. It's all
about the mother maintaining a good
state of mind, mentally and physically,
emotionally and spiritually. Ayurvedic
garbha samskara suggests specific
guidelines to keep in mind for the
pregnant mother.
These include:
Healthy eating habits
The dietary regime is an essential
aspect of pregnancy, as the growth of
foetus depends upon the health and
Introduction
Every parent wants the best for their
child. A healthy pregnancy is
necessary to ensure the baby's well-
being after birth too. Garbha samskara
has gained popularity as an enabler for
the baby's mental and physical
development.
The knowledge of garbha samskara
dates back to ancient scriptures and is
included in the Ayurveda. The word
garbha in Sanskrit refers to the foetus
in the womb, and samskara means the
mind's education. So, garbha
samskara translates into educating the
mind of the unborn baby. It is
traditionally believed that a child's
mental and behavioural development
starts in the womb as the mother's
emotional state can influence it while

nutrition of the mother. According to
Ayurveda, the ahara- rasa, which is
nutrition or energy obtained from the
mother's diet, helps nourish the mother
herself and the growth of baby and
preparation for breast milk formation. A
balanced diet full of vitamins and
minerals is recommended to this end.
The garbha samskara foods in
pregnancy should have a proportional
amount of calcium, folic acid and iron.
Garbha samskara food in pregnancy
includes sattvic food which refers to
freshly prepared nutrient-rich food
consisting of all five tastes: sweet,
salty, pungent, bitter and sour.
Ayurveda recommends the
consumption of panchamrut, which is
beneficial for boosting potency and
immunity. This is made with one spoon
curd, honey, sugar and two spoons of
ghee or clarified butter mixed with eight
milk spoons. Abstinence from addictive
substances is advised.
Positive thinking
Pregnancy can make one moody and
irritable. Garbha samskara helps
manage good emotions both for the
mother and the baby. The mother could
cultivate a hobby or do things that
make her happy.
Practising yoga or some form of
light exercise
Garbha samskara recommends that
pregnant women take up some light
form of exercise or yoga for the
physical well- being of both the mother
and the child.
Here are the benefits of exercise:
1. Pranayama breathing exercises help
calm and relax the body while
preparing you for breath- control during
child birth.
2. Light exercise increase flexibility,
improves blood circulation and reduces
backaches during pregnancy.
3. Specific garbha samskara yoga
asanas boost the mother's chances of
having a full-term normal delivery with
minimal labour pain.
Meditation
Meditation is an essential aspect of
garbha sanskar and is beneficial for
the body as it de- stresses the mind. It
involves getting into 'zero state of
mind', which can help bring peace and
tranquillity, and enhance
concentration—visualizing good things
about the baby. At the same time,
meditating is also a great way to bond
and think positively, which can help
both mother and baby.
Prayer
Praying is an integral part of garbha
samskara and is believed to be
suitable for the spiritual development of
the baby. Ancient scriptures contain
mantras and shlokas, which are
beneficial for unborn babies. The
prayers that are chanted bless the
baby with good health and moral
values and are an essential part of
spiritual beliefs.
Listening to music which brings
peace to mind
Garbha samskara states that a baby
can respond to music while in the
mother's womb. Ancient literature says
that a baby starts hearing and
responding to its surroundings from the
fourth month of pregnancy. This is why
the mother should listen to melodious
music which clams her. Soft and
spiritual songs or mantras and shlokas
are said to be beneficial for both the
mother and the child.
Reading spiritual books
Garbha samskara recommends
reading spiritual books, which brings
about contentment and satisfaction.
Garbha samskara also stresses that
reading educational books shapes the
child's personality in the womb. It is
believed that reading when pregnant
can help pass on the wisdom to the
unborn child. Books with moral values
or mythological stories are
recommended, but one can always
choose another book you enjoy
reading.
Keeping the mind relaxed and happy
As per garbha samskara, the mother
should not indulge in activities or
practices that stress her. Taking undue
stress or watching or reading things
that scare or worry you are not
recommended during pregnancy as
they trigger hormones that may harm
the foetus. One should be physically,
mentally, emotionally and spiritually
contented during the nine months for
the baby's sake.
Consuming herbal ghee during
pregnancy
Medicated ghee made from cow's milk
ghee is recommended during the 4th,
5th, 7th, 8th and 9th month of
pregnancy by Ayurveda. It is said to be
beneficial for the baby's mental and
physical development and can help
prevent congenital abnormalities in the
foetus. According to Ayurveda,
medicated ghee might also help the
mother have a full-term normal
delivery.

Benefits of garbha samskara during
pregnancy
It is up to the mother to shape up the
baby's first impressions. Positive
thinking and a positive attitude can go
a long way in ensuring the mental and
physical well- being of the mother,
which is linked to well- being of the
baby inside her womb. Garbha
samskara helps develop that eternal
bond between the mother and her
unborn child.
While experts encourage practising
garbha samskara for the well being of
the mother, there are also long- term
benefits for the baby that might not
immediately be recognized.
Communication with the baby is
'garbha samwaad' that contributes to
the baby's mental growth and helps to
build a strong bond with the mother.
Listening to music and reading to the
unborn child can help make the baby
get sound sleep or induce better
sleeping habits. The baby might
become more alert, aware and
From the time of my admission till discharge, the experience was overwhelming. The hospital is serene and divine. I enjoyed my stay of seven days undoubtfully.
I need to mention some names here, Smt. Nanditha and Mr. Mallikarjun. Smt. Nanditha made the complete process seamless andMr. Mallikarjun took utmost care and made me feel at home. The hero of the entire session is Dr. Satish Pai, immensely learned and down to earth. The advice he gave is remarkable.
The doctors and staff here are extremely dedicated and caring especially Mr. Veerabadraswamy and Mr. Guruprasad took great care. They are very dedicated and committed. Our best wishes are always there for the team.
The hospital is in a serene location. It is spotless and silent. The doctors carefully listen to your symptoms and then suggest the best treatment course. The treatment is carried off in a thorough, systematic and professional manner—the facility of stay is very efficient. The doctors are very patience and clarify all your doubts. I recommend this hospital to my family and friends. I will continue to visit again with my family for further consultations.
As long as I stayed at JSS Ayurveda Hospital Mysuru, I was taken care of by a team of extremely caring professionals. All the services like Housekeeping, Nursing care, and Administration services are excellent. There is a scope to improve diet food services, and we certainly recommended JSS Ayurveda to our friends and relatives in the coming days.

“Kapala” means Brain. “Bhathi”
means Shines/Purifies
This procedure helps in
detoxification and aids purification
of body, blood and brain. Hence it
is named as “Kapala Bhathi”.
Kapalabhathi is one of the six
internal cleansing procedures
called “Shat Kriya” in Hatha Yoga.
Like in Ayurveda we have
Panchakarma treatment for body
purification, in yoga, we have
“Shat Kriya” for detoxification of
the body organs.
Method: Sit in any comfortable
posture with Spine erect. Head
and Neck should be straight. One
can also attain “Padmasana, as
shown in figure/photo. Now, one
has to take a deep breath inside
(Pooraka), and then start
breathing out through both nostrils
forcefully and continuously. When
one exhalation is over, we should
give a small gap or pause without
taking inhalation before doing the
next exhalation. Moreover, during
each exhalation, one should suck-
in abdomen and flap the abdomen
muscles with in and out
movements. Like this, for one
single inhalation, one has to
continuously give 60 to 120
strokes of exhalation in one or two
minutes.
Initially, the practitioner may
perform only 10 to 20 strokes,
which can be increased gradually
in the future by practice.
Caution: Should be done in empty
stomach
Benefits: Because of continuous
exhalation, there will be the
expulsion of CO2 (Carbon
Dioxide) from blood, influencing
body purification. This is highly
useful in obesity, Indigestion,
Gastritis, Headache, Varicose
Veins, Arthritis, Gout, Diabetes,
Bronchial Asthama and Skin
Diseases.
Who Should Not Do This? –
Women during their menstrual
cycle, and Pregnancy, people
having Umbilical Hernia, Heart
Diseases, Hypertension,
Glaucoma, and Prolapse of
Uterus.
