Abstract

 A child for a mother is her prince or princes, she wants to give best of everything to her baby. This feeling starts from the time of conception or even before. 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 Chakravyuh, a particular war formation. When Abhimanyu became a young man and a warrior in the Kurukshetra war, he remembered his father’s story. He was able to employ the strategy that he had heard his father tell his mother while he was in her womb. Another story is of Prahlad from the Puranas. Prahlad was born into a family of demons who were wreaking havoc on the Gods in heaven. His mother listened to devotional prayers and stories about Lord Vishnu while he was in her womb. As a result, he became a devotee of Lord Vishnu. He stood by good and renounced all evil. This led to the downfall of his demon father’s evil empire. These stories tells us that the concept of Garbha Sanskar is not new to people. But question is does it really helpful? Does it help the mother and child? If yes how? Considering these questions some information is reviewed and presented further.
