“The shastras prescribe a specific time to have intercourse for pregnancy. In the Mahabharata, Abhimanyu is described as having learnt the art of breaking the “chakravyuh” (a circular trap) inside the womb of his mother as his father narrated the method. When he met her and asked about this resurrection, she told him, ‘you have come from India, have you not heard of Abhimanyu (the son of Arjuna in the epic Mahabharata)?’ She told him that the new generation in Germany was born through Garbh Sanskar and that is why the country is so developed,” said Varshney. “He was told that it was due to a woman called ‘Mother of Germany’. Varshney said the project was inspired by the advice a senior RSS ideologue received over 40 years ago in Germany.
The office-bearers claimed that this procedure “repairs genes” by ensuring that genetic defects are not passed on to babies.ĭr Ashok Kumar Varshney, an RSS pracharak for over 30 years and national organising secretary of Arogya Bharati, said that apart from the university in Jamnagar, two other institutions have incorporated Garbh Vigyan Sanskar in their curriculum: Children’s University in Gandhinagar and Atal Bihari Vajpayee Hindi University in Bhopal.
Thus, we can get a desired, customised baby,” she said. If the mother undergoes specific procedures, like what to eat, listen and read, the desired IQ can be achieved. IQ is developed during the sixth month of pregnancy. “Ayurveda has all the details about how we can get the desired physical and mental qualities of babies. Narwani claimed that the project “is not an intervention in the natural process” but based on the principles of Ayurveda. The next counselling sessions were scheduled to be held in Kolkata over the weekend, followed by Rohtak and Gurgaon in Haryana, she said. The project claims to have ensured the delivery of 450 “customised babies” so far, and its target is to have a Garbh Vigyan Anusandhan Kendra, a facilitation centre, in every state by 2020.Īccording to Narwani, Arogya Bharati has held several seminars and counselling sessions on Garbh Vigyan Sanskar in Delhi and Mumbai, and smaller cities such as Udupi in Karnataka, Kasaragod in Kerala, and Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh. Jani, a veteran RSS swayamsevak who also heads the panchkarma department at Gujarat Ayurved University in Jamnagar, said the procedure to get an “uttam santati or a customised child is mentioned in the (Hindu) shastras”. If the proper procedure is followed, babies of dark-skinned parents with lesser height can have fair complexion and grow taller,” said Dr Hitesh Jani, national convener, Arogya Bharati. “The parents may have lower IQ, with a poor educational background, but their baby can be extremely bright. Our target is to have thousands of such babies by 2020,” said Dr Karishma Mohandas Narwani, national convener of the project.Īccording to the office-bearers, the project was inspired by Germany, which they claimed had “resurrected itself by having such signature children through Ayurvedic practices within two decades after World War II”. “Our main objective is to make a samarth Bharat (strong India) through uttam santati.
