== Necessity of Pumsavana Karma and its scientific explanation: ==
The methodology of Pumsavana Karma does not limit to more scientific explanation or ritualistic performance. At the hour of population explosion, there is definitely a need to have the control over the population in a planned manner by which the ration between the populations be maintained. This is very much necessary to guard the social status and behaviors. Though many of the parents desire to limit their number of children but, however it becomes difficult for them due to the lack of facilities which either determined the sex in before hand or due to lack of known scientific basis to obtain a child of desired sex. However, the recent development in medical science has discovered a procedure by which the sex of the child in the womb can be determined which is well known as amniocontasis. This is resulted, however, in as bad practice of killing in numerical female foetus. Therefore, the safest measurement still remains negatively at large. On other hand, the science has absolutely no record of any of the in vitro method which can change the sex of the foetus as desired. Therefore, a methodology like Pumsavana Samskara is a needed entity for the present society. By proper understanding of the scientific background and its known implications will definitely receive rousing welcome from the educated individuals.<ref name=":0" />

== The psycho-spiritual effects of punsavan sanskara on pregnant mother and foetus ==
+
All conscious parents wish that the child in the womb - whether son or daughter should be full of strength and vigor; should be healthy, diseasefree, long-lived, intelligent and good looking. The second ritual - the Punsavan sanskara is performed with this objective, two to three months after the foetus is placed in the mother's womb. (Sharma, 2016)

The experiments on the Punsavan sanskara have revealed startling results: the mothers, who were prone to abortion or whose earlier issues were subjected to metabolic system's deficiencies or to some genetic disorders since birth, have delivered healthy babies after this sanskara. It has now been accepted by the researchers that the herbal preparation processed under the vitally charged vapors of yagya affects the cellular and molecular (including genetic) systems.
