Meaning
The Sanskrit word “Garbh” means “foetus” in the womb and “Sanskar” means “educating the mind”.
So, “Garbh sanskar” essentially means “educating the mind of the foetus”..
It is traditionally believed that a child's mental and behavioural development starts as soon as he is conceived. His personality begins to take shape in the womb, and this can be influenced by the mother's state of mind during pregnancy.
Ancient Indian medicine has recognized the need for the mental, spiritual, and physical preparation of the mother-to-be for the momentous event of childbirth. Ayurveda describes this theory as "Supraja janan" or eu-maternity.
Although it may sound strange and weird, a mother’s bond with her starts right from the time she conceives. It is not that when the child is born she knows him. The baby listens to the mother and feels her feelings even when it is developing inside the womb. A mother can shape up her baby as desired to a great extent.
Researchers have proved its relevance and importance in the development of the child. Scientific evidence proves that the unborn baby inside the mother’s womb responds to outside stimuli and has the ability to listen. Experts believe that there is a significant effect of hormonal secretions that are activated by the thoughts of a mother.
The advantages of Garbh sanskar are not only that we educate the unborn child and develop a bond between the mother and the child. In fact, this has a great impact on the health of the mother also. Positive thinking and attitude promote the physical well-being of the mother.
Garbhasanskara can be traced back to ancient Hindu texts like the Vedas which date to 1500-500 BC. It also finds reference in the Mahabharata which was written roughly around 400 BC. It finds a place in traditional ayurvedic medicine as a guide for pregnant women in prenatal education.
One of the most famous and well-known tales is that of Abhimanyu from the Mahabharata. When Arjuna's wife was pregnant with their son Abhimanyu, he told her about how to penetrate the Chakravyuha (a particular war formation). During the Kurukshetra war, Abhimanyu was able to employ the strategy that he had heard his father tell his mother while he was in her womb.
