PREGNANCY and JAINISM----PART-2.----------!!!

Friends my yesterday's attendance in Gurudeo's session was indeed a unique experience. A woman visited Gurudeo for Darshan with her daughter in law. She told Gurudeo "Sir, I earlier visited a physician and consulted him for clinical care for my pregnant daughter as an a routine exercise. But later on, I felt that it is more necessary to take advice for spiritual care, so please guide us for it. " With usual smile Gurudeo answered "Good and visionary question, Keeping time constraint in mind my summarized guidance along with study of Bhagwatisutra can provide you the desired important results I hope.
In chapter 01/07 under the head 'Garbha-vichar' Bhagwan Mahavira has explained various issues related to this subject worth reading.
Such as connections of baby with mother, various components of her body, her ways to take food and transform it into  five organs, her hereditary features, her output, her happiness and sorrows. In her the mother's womb the soul of child completes six power termed as Parayapties- known as food, body, organs, breathing, language and mind. If the soul unable to build 1 of above forth power then it dies.
Bhagwan has also explained ways of baby's safe arrival or otherwise. Situations causing danger to life of mother is also being explained.
If the baby arrives from head or leg side it is safe. If it is from center
or zigzag mode, it can be dangerous to both of them. Reference to
full chapter text can be very useful for all future mothers. The soul
derives 3 major parts from mother and 3 parts from father. Mother's
parts are muscles, blood and brain. father's parts are bone, marrow.
hair, moustache, beard and pores. All other parts are combined one,

The particular soul in case of unsafe arrival can go to heaven / hell as per her thought process duly explained with examples. Hearing of monk's lecture or prayers have positive impact on baby.
Mother's food, her thinking, state of her happiness, fear and sorrows has direct bearing and total impact on the baby. Hence the mother shall spend most of her time in  chatting of Navkarmantra, Loggas, visits to monks and taking Manglik, Samaik, Pratikaman, Swadhay
,Bhaktamber, Pucchisunam and so on. With it she can spend most time in good thoughts. It can positively affect the baby. Those eight
months time is a most testing period for any mother and her baby.

Reading good literature of Jainism and other religious activities is beneficial to a great extent. Adult literature must be avoided at all.
Thinking about soul ,it's nature in mediation can help very much. Mediation with Navkar is a good tool to impart training to child. She 
keep herself away from bad habits if any, bad surroundings, wrong beliefs, anger ,bad food ,drinks etc. Be careful to participate in other  misleading Sanskar camps run with commercial motives. The bond

created with new baby remains for ever. Even when baby grows up
she seeks the soft touch in baby blanket or teddy bear as mother.
A future mother can read the blog which covers 14 dreams of Mata
Trishala and try to concentrate on qualities of dreams for baby. It
may help to have fractional qualities of Bhagwan Mahaveerswami.


Remember mother's womb is a most holy and powerful place in universe. All great souls like Thirthankars and Kewaldyani find their ways to mankind through it. So proper handling needed.
In Jain terminology mother of a monk is being termed as
"Ratnakhukshi" (Womb for diamond or jewel) with respect.
Here with I quote a stanza from Bhaktamber Sotra. It has very
good message for all future mothers who can be"Veermata".

 It means" All directions are reflecting sun rays. Similarly all
mothers give birth to child. But as only east is powerful to give
birth to Sun only special mothers can give birth to Thirthankar
     Motherhood is a great responsibility assigned to the mother by nature. If she can fulfill it to fullest to her ability ,we can welcome the addition of a good citizen and good human being on earth.
 No doubt the contribution of father and other family members to the process is also equally important. With a joint efforts we can have a newcomer walking on path of salvation." Gurudeo concluded
There was total silence in the room. I made a note to visit the place again with my daughter in law and my grand daughter-the little angle next time. While leaving the venue numerous waves and voices from past were emerging in my memories and ears. I looked upto the sky and bestowed my head with respect as a token of gratitude for the sufferings my parents passed through for our up bringing. I asked for forgiveness for any of my disrespect to them. Seeds of our religious

firmness ,faith and belief have roots in upbringing imparted by them. Grand salute to such noble souls. A single life is not sufficient for  paying of their debts, I feel every reader will agree with it--------!!!.
