The new entity ‘jeev’ inherits the attributes from mother, father, from the past life karma and from the diet and the daily regimen that the mother follows during the pregnancy . The science speaks of’ Suprajanana’ which means thoughtful efforts taken to inculcate useful positive attributes in the garbha. This involves a complete regimen that leads to a healthy mother and a healthy baby.

Garbha (The concept of fetus according to Ayurveda)

Garbha is defined as the union of Shukra (Purusha beej), Artava (Stree beej) and Atma inside the uterus .

Beej is defined as the entity which gives origin to a new life similar to itself . The beeja therefore, is responsible for inheritance of maternal & paternal properties.

The journey of sanskara starts from the pre-conception phase.

This process ensures
