 What is the meaning of Garbh Sanskar?

Garbh Sanskar is a Sanskrit term that has been derived from two words. Garbh means the foetus in the womb and Sankar mean education. In simple words it means, educating the foetus in the womb. In Hinduism, it has been believed that "A child's mental and behavioural development get started 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".

History of Garbh Sanskar

He had heard and remembered the narration and technique by Lord Krishna to Subhadra during her pregnancy. And unfortunately he had not learnt how to escape from the Chakravyuha and that was the reason, he was killed during the war.

The science behind Garbh Sanskar

Physician, biologist and other scientist also agree that conception marks the beginning of the life of a human being that involves a series of changes up to the birth of the child. There is scientific evidence that proves that a baby in the womb can respond to the outside stimulus and has the ability to listen.

 Early experiences prenatally during birth and in the first year of life have a lifelong effect on health and happiness of the child. These experiences can affect the child in both positive and negative ways. Scientific research shows that babies can experience their parent's intention and communication; even they do not understand the words.
