This shloka from brahma sutra explains ‘sanskars’ as implanting qualities in a person, but in a broader sense ,'Sanskars'; are deeply ingrained cultural and spiritual imprints that guide an individual's life journey. These imprints encompass rituals, traditions, and practices that shape a person's character, values, and beliefs from birth to death.
Each stage of life is marked by specific Sanskars, in fact, there happen to be 40 sanskars according to ‘GautamSmritiShastr’, but in the present day, as per ‘Maharishi VedVyasSmritiShastra’ sixteen sanskars are popular also known as “Shodash” sanskar and one of the most intriguing and impactful among them is GarbhSanskar. So, what is GarbhSanskar? The process of instilling qualities and eliminating the defects is known as ‘Sanskar’, and when these Sanskars are implanted in a child during pregnancy itself, then it is called GarbhSanskar.
GarbhSanskar is a profound and time-honored practice that focuses on nurturing and educating the unborn child within the mother's womb. It is a holistic approach to prenatal care that emphasizes the importance of creating an ideal environment, both physical and emotional, for the baby's development. The belief underlying GarbhSanskar is that the mental and emotional state of the mother significantly influences the baby's overall well-being, including its intellect, personality, and physical health.
In the ancient Hindu Philosophy it has been emphasized multiple times that the world we see around us is changing, Shri Krishna in Bhagavad Gita calls it ‘Aniitya’. ‘Anitya’ or the element of ‘Change’ gives the diversity we see around us. It is the reason that some people we see are calm since childhood and some people are chaotic. The learning ability of some is better than that of others. Why is there such a difference, what is the reason for it? The reason for this is that the life of us humans is governed by the combination of two factors, Prarabdh and Sanskars:
The reason for this is obvious that the change of Prarabdha is not in our hands, but we can control the transmission of Sanskar.
During pregnancy, GarbhSanskar is the best effort to nurture the mind, intellect and personality of the child. The scriptures and science are unanimous in the fact that the mind, intelligence and health of the child in the womb are deeply affected by his environment and surroundings.
Examples for this phenomenon are also found in the scriptures and Puranas that the baby in the womb is extremely sensitive, such as:
There are many such stories recorded in our Puranas and scriptures which show the importance and proof of garbhsanskar, and now many modern scientific researchers also show the data which are in favor of GarbhSanskar.
Knowing that a child and the mother share a sophisticated connection, which can do wonders if treated right. A question might surface to your brain: how does this “Garbh sanskar” work? Sorry to break it to you but it is not magic. It may seem like it works like magic, but it is scientific. According to a study published in International journal of medical research and review “It is highly effective in reducing maternal stress, anxiety, medical co-morbidities and incidence of operative deliveries and gives better neonatal outcomes in terms of better growth, birth weight and APGAR. And all of this requires nothing but a mother’s will to give her baby the best possible environment and few actions to achieve that goal.
What actions? You may ask. Sit back and relax and read this article, of course. Because we've got you covered for this.
Although there are myriad benefits to practicing Garbh Sanskar during pregnancy, the following are the 5 primary ones:
1. Developing Virtues and Values in the Child
The reason why Garbh Sanskar is conducted is to bestow quality values to the baby. It incorporate Punsavan Sanskar, Simantonnayana Sanskar, Garbh Sanskar Sutra, Vedic Mantra Vrushti, Isht Mantra, GarbhSanskar Music, Jeevan Sutra, Live Meditation, etc.
Participating in these activities produces a pleasant atmosphere, and so positive values are passed on to the baby. The powerful vibrations generated by Isht Mantra, Vedic Mantra Vrushti, and Music are really helpful to have a healthy and intelligent baby.
2. Establishes a Strong Bond Between the Mother and the Baby
Through Garbh Samvad, you can communicate with the baby. It is a way of laying the foundation for the mother-baby bond to last a lifetime. Other family members, in addition to the mother, can communicate with the baby.
When you’re 26 weeks pregnant, babies are capable of reacting to sounds from outside the womb. Practicing Garbh Samvad during this period will improve your baby’s language development, memory, and hearing ability.
3. Minimizing the Mother's Stress and Anxiety
For a woman, the pregnancy period can be pretty stressful. The instances that are making her stressed can be family situations around her. Pregnant women who are stressed or anxious could find relief with Garbh Sanskar.
In our Krishna Coming app, live meditation activity is extremely beneficial for reducing stress and preserving mental peace. There are several benefits of meditation during pregnancy that you should be familiar with.
4. Improving the Brain Development of Baby
Garbh Sanskar promotes the release of endorphins which boosts the mood of the mother. Externally stimulating the baby’s brain leads to the intellectual development of the baby. It also helps in reducing brain shrinkage and enhancing cognitive function.
5. Making Pregnancy More Comfortable
Garbh Sanskar makes the entire pregnancy a pleasant experience. Yoga sessions included in Garbh Sanskar classes not only reduce back pain during pregnancy but also help with other common physical problems during pregnancy. The likelihood of a full-term normal delivery with the least labor pain also increases if you engage in Yoga sessions regularly.
The ancient Vedic Garbh Sanskar tradition requires a woman's physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health to be excellent for staying positive during pregnancy.

Jeevan Sutra: To Guide You Through The Ups & Downs of Pregnancy

Garbh Sanskar Music: Soothe Your Baby With Music
Meaningful engagement with music has many positive effects on Garbh. Listening to music is one of the most important elements of Garbh Sanskar. Research suggests that Veena and flute can give health to the pregnant woman and the baby within.
The pitches of Indian ragas work on the tridosha in a human’s body. Tridosha consists of Vata, Kapha, and Pitta. It means that Indian Ragas stimulate the dosha as per their Sthana(place), Kala(time), and samantha for the betterment of health.
It is worth observing that listening to music during pregnancy plays a major role in a baby’s healthy neurological development in Garbh. Babies stimulated with music inside the womb will develop these qualities:
A study published in the US National Library of Medicine states that “the babies whose mother listened to Kalyani Raga during pregnancy had better reflexes, responsiveness, and mental stimulation.”

As per Indian scriptures, every human born on earth must compulsorily perform 16 sanskars. Even divine avatars like Shri Krishna, Shri Rama, and many renowned sages also abided by these sanskars.
Rituals and traditions are precious in Indian culture. They all have both scientific and spiritual reasoning. When it comes to pregnancy, Garbh Sanskar includes 3 extremely important Sanskars namely, Garbhadhan Sanskar, Punsavan Sanskar, and Simantonnayana sanskar.
1. Garbhadan Sanskar: To be done, at the time of planning the baby before conception.
Just as we clean the temple before Dev Sthapna, a pregnant woman should clean her mind and body for welcoming the baby into the womb.
Keeping the mind and body fit during pregnancy will help your baby become healthy, intelligent, and virtuous. Under this sanskar, you also call upon to invite the pure atman to the womb. Under Krishna Coming ‘Garbhadhaan Sanskar’- Pre-Pregnancy Course you will get:
2. Punsavan Sanskar: To be done in the third month of pregnancy.
Punsavan Sanskar finds its first mention in Atharva Veda. In the Vedic tradition, it is the second sanskar out of the 16 sanskars. One of the most significant rituals for human life is this sanskar.
• The Purpose of Punsavan Sanskar
The ultimate purpose of this sanskar is to yield exceptional mental strength, supreme intelligence, and great virtues to the baby. Moreover, this sanskar also inspires the family to make every effort to maintain a positive environment at home.
• Right Time to Perform This Sanskar
Krishna Coming’s Vedic Brahmin group performs this sanskar during the third month of pregnancy. In the third month, the baby’s nervous system is under development. If you couldn't do this sanskar in the third month, you should do it in the seventh month.
The research paper also mentions that the third month of pregnancy focuses on fetal growth, both physical and spiritual. That’s why the mother’s behavior impacts the baby. To ensure the proper nourishment of the baby, Punsavan Sanskar focuses on inducing positivity in the mother’s behavior.
3. Simantonnayana Sanskar: To be done during 7th month of pregnancy.
Vedic tradition mentions that Simantonnayana Sanskar is the third sanskar of the 16 sanskars. Parents should perform this sanskar to prevent miscarriage and ensure the safety of the baby in the womb. When performed under the guidance of Krishna Coming’s Vedic Brahmin group, this sanskar will prepare the pregnant woman for delivery by guiding her with positive thoughts.
• The Significance of Simantonnayana Sanskar
Simantonnayana Sanskar is performed during the seventh month of pregnancy. As stated earlier, the baby gains consciousness in the seventh month. At this point, the baby is capable of absorbing information. Whatever thoughts a mother ingests from her surroundings, have a direct impact on the behavior of the baby.
The mother needs to filter her thoughts during pregnancy. Simantonnayana Sanskar keeps the mother mentally calm and induces positivity in her thoughts.
“A mother holds her children in her heart”— could be true as there’s a lifelong connection that forms between baby and mother after conception. Practicing Garbh Sanskar during pregnancy strengthens this connection.
Modern science suggests that maternal cells interact with the baby through the placenta. And the placenta performs the following functions for the baby’s development:
But there is more to it. The placenta also secretes serotonin which plays an important role in fetal brain development. When serotonin is at normal levels, your emotions are stable, and you feel happier and calmer. Serotonin is important but its excess can cause the baby’s brain to stop producing neurons. Likewise, too little serotonin also has bad consequences.
To keep serotonin production at normal levels, you have to stay positive. You can stay positive and ensure the proper mental development of your baby with ancient Garbh Sanskar practice.
Research suggests that only half of the brain development depends on genes. The environment around the baby stimulates the other half.
That’s why staying positive is necessary for a mother. Maintain optimal physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. garbhsanskar activities can induce a huge development in your baby right from the womb. It will also make them calm, virtuous, and healthy.
Long story short, the best time to start Garbh Sanskar was yesterday. The second best time is now. For optimal results, you should start GarbhSanskar right from the first month. But, if you found out about your pregnancy late, there’s no issue. You can start garbhsanskar anytime but the main essence lies in starting it as early as possible.
Let us also look at how the baby develops in the womb according to the Garbha Upanishad. You will understand the stages of growth that will help you decide why the first month is the best time to begin Garbh Sanskar at home.
Doing GarbhSanskar during this period will help the baby familiarize themself with the outside world easily. It will also lay the foundation for a baby’s healthy brain development. Modern science also agrees with the fact that Garbh Sanskar can embed good virtues, health, and intelligence in the baby.
1. Healthy Diets During Pregnancy
A balanced diet is one of the fundamentals of both Garbh Sanskar and life. Ayurveda elaborates on simple basic principles of a balanced diet during pregnancy. The first rule of consuming food for pregnant women is to eat in adequate amounts and include all the nutrients to fulfill the needs of the fetus. The diet should also support the formation of milk and give the mother strength and vitality during delivery.
Ayurveda advises pregnant women to avoid overeating and have 4 light meals a day. The presence of all 6 Rasa (taste) namely Madhura (sweet), Amla (sour), Lavana (salty), Katu (pungent), Tikta (bitter), and Kashaya (astringent) in these 4 meals provides complete nourishment to the mother and the baby. A meal having all these 6 rasas is called Shad Rastamak Ahar. This Ahar maintains the equilibrium of Doshas in the body and restores the mother’s health thereby imparting several health benefits to the baby.
2. Positive Thoughts During Pregnancy
Mood swings and irritation during pregnancy hamper the mental development of the baby. To avoid such a disaster, a stable and positive mood during pregnancy is much needed. Garbh Sanskar activities allow a pregnant woman to have control over her emotions and ensure the proper development of the baby.
3. Pregnancy Yoga
Yoga during pregnancy, also called Prenatal Yoga is a multi-dimensional exercise that is good for pregnant women and babies. It involves many light exercises such as stretching and breathing exercises which improve blood circulation and thus nourish the baby in the womb. Apart from this, the other benefits of Yoga during pregnancy are:
4. Meditation During Pregnancy
