Summary:
Varanasi: The Ayurvedic Department of Banaras Hindu University (BHU) has started giving ‘garbh sanskar therapy’ to pregnant women, which the university officials claim would “help instil Indian traditions, culture, and knowledge in the unborn child”.
“Since the ancient times, ‘garbh sanskar’ has been given importance in India and across the globe.
The ayurvedic practice claims to provide proper nourishment to the mother during pregnancy so that the unborn child could grow mentally healthy… Abhimanyu (Arjuna’s son) is said to have learned the war skills when he was in his mother Subhadra’s womb.
He used to listen to the ‘Chakarvyuh’ planning that Krishna narrated to his sister,” a BHU spokesperson said citing references from the Hindu epic Mahabharat.

Under the therapy, pregnant women are given spiritual music therapy, Veda therapy, meditation therapy, and worship therapy, the spokesperson added.
“Pregnant women are told to listen to sacred music, read Vedas and perform spiritual activities such as pujas and meditation.
We also advise them to eat nutrient-rich food and stay fit so that a healthy child is delivered,” said Sunita Suman, Prasuti Tantra (Maternity Department), Ayurveda.
