The Reproductive Science of India: Marriage and Pregnancy.


Why do we have children that are contrary to our expectations? Why is there a generation of people who are physically and mentally weak, and devoid of virtues, making our lives miserable?

Why does a husband-wife relationship end in resentment and sometimes a breakup? There are essentially two things behind this: Incompatible marriage, and then ignorance about garbaadhan, i.e. the procreation act.

Those who marry should look for the compatibility of souls. Otherwise, marriages based purely on the basis of wealth, beauty, and social status will lead to the above problems.

Soul Compatibility is seen by taking into account the spiritual, mental, physical, karmic, gotric as well as sin and virtue relationship between the couple. Only an all-knowing Guru who knows these things can determine soul compatibility.

Marriage is to nurture vamsha, the lineage. Prayer, sankalpam, and other rituals are necessary for the birth of a good child with good fortune.

Similarly, garbaadhan is an important matter. The following should be noted.

The bride and groom should perform pitrushuddhi after marriage. Otherwise, inauspicious pitrus, (ancestral souls) may be born as offspring.

The day of Pournami should be chosen for garbaadhan. Time is between 3 AM and 4 AM in Brahma Muhurtha.

Perform the garbaadhan with prayer. It must be borne in mind that they are going to perform an auspicious task. Because a new creation is about to take place.

There must be an auspicious atmosphere all around. The home and surroundings must be sacred. It should not be a place where sinful acts like robbery and murder have been committed.

The husband and wife must keep celibacy for a few days before garbaadhan. Soul-abstraction gives sperm strength and vigor.

Vritam and prayer are good. Pray only to the Paramatma.

The auspicious time for marriage and garbaadhan, related rituals, and sankalpam are to be sought from the knowledgeable Guru.

The disaster we witness today is because of ignoring the knowledge given to us by our great Rishis. Let the lost guru and ashram culture of India rise again. Only when the householders’ life is linked with Ashram, it becomes Grihasthashrama. This is the basis of the Sanatana Dharma.

Navajyothi Sri Karunakara Guru is a Mahatma who has practically revived this Indian reproductive science. The above is what is learned from the Guru.

If we give attention to these things, we can be sure that we will have children of good fortune, prosperity, health, beauty, knowledge, understanding, and karma-sheshi. It will bring us peace and happiness.
