સુવર્ણપ્રાશન Swarnaprashana

 A unique Ayurvedic Method to boost immunity and intelligence.

A situation in which you are protected against disease is called body strength or we can say immuned. In ayurved it is coined by term Vyadhikshamatva. Body strength or immunity can be correlated with Ojas that is bala (strength) of the body. Swarnaprashan is one of the methods which increase Sahaja bala or Ojas of the body without any adverse effect. It reduce the recurrent attacks of infections and help to improves digestive and metabolic power.

Swarnaprashana boosts the immunity as well as intellectual power of a child. Gold has anti-aging quality (Rasayana) and ability to target drugs to the site (yogavahi).

Swarnaprashana has been traditionally practiced as a formula for growing child to improve growth and development as well as to promote longer and healthy life.

The benefits of Swarnaprashana in children are multidimensional.

Brain development is continued up to 2 years and at this stage by Swarnaprashan we can accelerate the growth of brain.

Gold strengthens the body, beneficial for heart (hridya), good for eyes (chakshusaya), improves intellectual power, rejuvenative (rasayan), also helpful to cure many diseases as anemia, tuberculosis, diarrhea, colitis, heart disease, etc. It has immunomodulating effect. It improves the recurrent attacks of common cold, fever and reversible asthma.

There are several references of the Swarnaprashana in Ayurvedic literatures mentioning its actions Medha vardhana (promoting intelligence), Bala Vardhana (increasing physical strength and vigour), Punya (reward), Ayushakaraka (promoting longevity), Smriti and Mati (attentiveness) Medhavardhana (improving intellect), Agnivardhana (promoting digestion and metabolism), Balavardhana (promoting immunity and physical strength), Ayushyam (Promoting longevity), Mangalam (auspicious), Punyam (Virtuous), Varnya (improves complexion), Vrishya (fertility), Grahapaham (protection against infectious organisms).

Swarnaprashana can be achieved at multiple levels likeas a general health promoter and in specific to enhancement of intelligence, digestion, metabolism, immunity, physical strength, complexion, or fertility. Swarnaprashana can be administered in all children as it acts at the level of nutrition, metabolism, growth and development, physical strength, and immunity.

Further it has been mentioned that by feeding gold for one month, child becomes extremely intelligent and is not attacked by the diseases and by using for six months, is able to retain what-so-ever he/she hears. According to Sushruta, Swarnaprashana helps in escalating Bala (strength) and Buddhi (memory) and thereby aiding in proper development of a child.

As per Acharya Sushruta, Swarna has to be administered along with Madhu (honey) and Ghrita (ghee) in one among the procedures of Jathakarma samskara.

Administration of processed gold in children is a unique practice mentioned in Ayurveda as "Swarnaprashana" by Acharya Kashyapa thousands of years back.

Swarnaprashana can be administered in infants and children up to 16 years of age for their physical, mental and intellectual wellbeing.

Rasayana is a unique concept of Ayurveda, that is claimed to increase the lifespan, intelligence, strength and able to prevent the disease.

Administration of processed gold in children is a unique practice mentioned in Ayurveda as Swarnaprashana by Acharya Kashyapa thousands of years back. He explained evidently the administration of Swarna in children for the bene ts of improving intellect, digestion and metabolism, physical strength, immunity, complexion and life span. Sushruta and Vagbhata have prescribed gold along with various drugs to the new born child.

सुवर्णप्राशनं हि एतत् मेधाग्नि बल वर्धनम् । आयुष्यं मंगलं पुण्यं वृष्यं ग्रहापहम् ॥
मासात् परम मेधावी व्याधिभिर्न च दृश्यते । षड्भि मासै: श्रुतधर सुवर्ण प्राशनात् भवेत् ॥
(काश्यप संहिता, सूत्रस्थानम् 18/4-5)

Medhaagnibalvardhanam means improvement in intelligency, digestive power, and strength of body, Ayusha means improvement in life span, Mangalya means auspicious, Punya means sacred, Vrishya means aphrodisiac, Grahapaham means relieves all bad effects of grahas. If SwarnaPrashan administer to child for one month, child becomes Parammedhavi means Genious and if administering for six months, child becomes Shruta Dhara means he/she can remember all things whatever they listen.

Manusmriti, the ancient Indian literature of rectitude, mentions that a Dwija (brahmin) has to undergo Samskara (purificatory rite) like Jatakarma (procedures at birth) and Chudakarana (ceremony of tonsure) to get rid of the impurities, which may be present in the Bija (sperm and ovum) and also due to the stay inside the womb as Garbha (fetus). Here, Jatakarma Samskara (newborn care) is told as a purification procedure, in which soon after cutting the umbilical cord the baby is made to lick the mixture of gold, honey, and ghee by chanting Mantra (spiritual hymns).

In hindu dhrama granthas about 16-40 sanskar are described, but in practice 16 sanskars are performed. Jatakarma Sanskar is the first sanskar, which is described by Acharya Charaka.

MAHARISHI CHARAKA

Newly born baby needs special care. Maharshi Charka in Sharira sthana has explained that immediately after the birth, while steps are being taken to expel the placenta, the following measures should be taken for the resuscitation of the foetus –

1. Striking or rubbing of stones near the root of the ears of the child
2. Sprinkling of the face with cold water (during summer) and warm water (during winter)
3. If there is no movement in the child after the above procedures, fanning should be done with a fan prepared of straps of bamboo etc. till child breaths.
4. Once the child recovers breath and becomes normal, he should be cleaned with water.
5. Child’s palate, lips, throat and tongue should be wiped with attendant’s finger, nails from which are properly clipped of and which are well-cleaned and covered with cotton swabs. Soaked with unctuous substances.
6. Thereafter, the child should be given to eat ghee mixed with rock- salt for emesis of amniotic fluid.
7. Thereafter, the cord should be marked at a distance of eight Angulas (approximately 25.5 cm) from its root where it is attached with the navel. Both the sides of this mark should be carefully taken in hand and with the help of an Ardhadhara type of instrument (having very sharp edge), made of gold, silver or steel, the cord should be cut at this mark.
8. The proximal end of the cord should be carefully tied with the help of a thread and the ends of the thread should be loosely tied to the neck of the foetus.
9. Thereafter, the birth rites as prescribed in the Vedas should be performed. First of all, the child should be given honey and ghee impregnated with mantra prescribed for this purpose in the Vedas; thereafter, following the same procedure milk from the right breast should be given to the child at first, an earthen jar filled with water should be impregnated with mantras and kept near the head of the child.

Charka considered breast milk as wholesome diet as it provides full nutrition, increases strength and keeps healthy.

Breast feeding decreases the incidence or severity of diarrhea, respiratory illness, otitis media, bacteremia, bacterial meningitis and necrotizing enterocolitis.

Does your child suffer from Arochaka (loss of appetite), Running nose (Pratishyaya), Jwara (Fever), Kasa (Cough) and Snigdha Sukla Mukhekshana (Paleness of face and eye)?

Emotional Health For Mother During Pregnancy

 Looking after your emotional health has benefits for both you and your unborn baby.

When you are pregnant, your baby is exposed to everything you experience. This includes the sounds in the environment, the air you breathe, the food you eat and the emotions you feel.

When you feel happy and calm, it allows your baby to develop in a happy, calm environment. However, emotions like stress and anxiety can increase particular hormones in your body, which can affect your baby’s developing body and brain.

According to Ayurveda Vata, by nature, is easily affected by influences—both positive and negative. Vata Dosha is responsible for cell division during embryonic development. If the mother is calm and healthy during pregnancy, Vata and its subsets function optimally and the fetus’s development and birth progress in a healthy manner. The mother’s diet, lifestyle, environment, and mental/emotional states influence and even alter the growing baby’s lifelong constitution. So, influences during pregnancy and birth may affect a person’s entire life. If there is any imbalance in Vata Dosha, it may hamper the normal function and the process of cell division. This may lead to various chromosomal abnormalities either structural or functional like Down syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome etc. Pregnant women has to consume Vata Dosha vitiating diet. 

Anxiety, in early pregnancy, results in loss of fetus and in the second and the third trimester leads to a decrease in birth weight and increased activity of the Hypothalamus. 

Garbhaniparicharya i.e.antenatal care mentioned in Ayurveda plays a vital role at excellence in form of fetus, its development without any defects. The main aims of GarbhiniParicharya are: to avoid hazardous effect on fetus, to promote normal growth and development of fetus and to conduct normal delivery without any fetal and maternal complications. Garbhani Paricharya has direct scientifically approach towards development of healthy fetus inside the womb of pregnant mother without having any birth defect.

According to Ayurvedic literature about the anomalies or congenital defects precipitating in the fetus and aiming onsignificant factors that attached to the defective sperm, ovum, Aatma(Soul), time and dietetic regimen of the mother MaturVihar(deeds of pregnant mother). All these factors are responsible for vitiation of Dosha producing abnormalities of fetus in terms of appearance, complexion and Indriyas.Whatever the Ahar or Vihar the parents are indulged during the conception it will lead to same effects on the child.

Those women, who are devotee to God, pursue Brahman like deeds and those who observe modest and beneficial life style give birth to virtuous and genius child.

Mother’s diet and activities as well as nature of Panchmahabhoota in the environment at the time of fertilization determine the healthy state of foetus and newborn. The unhealthy state of either factor can affect the Prakriti of foetus and even result in various congenital anomalies.

CONCEIVING VIRTUOUS CHILDREN

 Attracting a high soul or evolved soul to take birth in your womb.

The Mental Condition Of A Child Depends Upon The Mental Status Of His Parents At The Time He Is Conceived.

Change in Mother’s Mental State Can Influence Her Baby’s Development Before and After Birth.

As baby grows during pregnancy, it’s constantly getting messages from its mother. It’s not just hearing her heartbeat and whatever music she might play to her belly; it also gets chemical signals through the placenta. 

If the mother is depressed, that affects how the baby develops after it’s born. The environment a unborn baby is growing up in the mother’s womb is very important.

A healthy start for the brain:
The baby’s brain has to be healthy and protected from diseases and other risks. Promoting the development of a healthy brain can start even before pregnancy. A healthy diet and the right nutrients like sufficient folic acid will promote a healthy pregnancy and a healthy nervous system in the growing baby.

During pregnancy, the brain can be affected by many types of risks, such as stress, trauma, or mental health conditions like depression & exposure to toxins.

Mothers who 'connect' with their baby during pregnancy are more likely to interact in a more positive way with their infant after it is born.

The time of conception is very important and should be carefully planned. The science of creating spiritual progeny of pure consciousness is called the Garbhadhana Samskara. There are several factors involved in this process including the spiritual consciousness of the parents, the health of the prospective parents, and astrological considerations.

The Garbhadhana Samskara is a purely spiritual act as is confirmed by Lord Krisna in the Bhagavad-Gita.

Bringing such spiritually aware children into the world is beneficial both for the parents spiritually, as well as for society in general.

THE ASTROLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS

The astrological considerations are two fold. First we examine the charts of the prospective parents and determine their karma in regards to children, that is, if the prevailing times are favorable for having offspring. Secondly, we help in choosing an auspicious time for planting the seed, which carries the soul, into the womb of the mother. This process requires detailed knowledge of the prospective mother’s monthly cycle, that is, when her menses begin and end. Then determines if that particular cycle has the possibility of conception, if so then chooses the date and time for performing the Garbhadhana Samskara, the purificatory sacrament of planting the seed according to religious principles. Unlike ordinary sexual activity which further binds the soul’s of all involved into material consciousness, the Garbhadhana Samskara is a purely spiritual act as is confirmed by Lord Krisna in the Bhagavad-gita - aimed at creating godly children is as good as God Himself.

PRACTICING BONDING WITH YOUR UNBORN BABY

When a woman reads aloud to her baby in utero, she may relate to her baby more actively and directly while doing so. A positive state of mind during pregnancy may benefit the developing baby. It is common for women to report feeling bonded with their babies during pregnancy. Talking to the baby, whether through reading or speaking aloud, helps to create a sense of the baby after birth. Reading to the baby in utero may help a woman to practice bonding with her baby.

Start reading aloud : This is the very best way to bond prenatally. Hearing is the sense that is most highly developed in utero, and the one that gives you (and Daddy) the most direct connection with your baby. Babies in the womb hear, recognize, learn and remember their mother’s voice and respond to it after birth. Nurturing yourself and your baby will help to release endorphins, or feel-good hormones, which will communicate to you and your baby.

Give voice to your love and read to the bump! Your baby can hear you by the third trimester, and there is no better way to bond than through your unique voice and its loving vibes.

A prenatal enrichment approach includes stimulating the baby in utero through singing, reading and talking, all of which are believed to enhance a baby's intellectual development. Reading to a baby in the womb may have a positive effect on fetal development.

Say good morning or good night to baby while rubbing or placing hand on your bump. I was used to do this on my bump during my pregnancy in the morning and evening. Newborns know the voices of their parents when they are born, so talk as much as you can. To experience this connection is deeply moving during pregnancy and amazing to witness after birth. And the effects can last for years to come. “Gently stroking your bump releases calming and relaxing hormones for both you and your baby and can keep you in touch with your baby’s activity; a good sign of wellbeing in your baby.”Touch and stroke your bump.

Your hands have healing energy, while rubbing your belly imagine healing light or energy coming out from them, send energy from your hands into your baby. You can also place your right hand on your baby and your left hand on your heart. Think about the things you are grateful for, the love you feel and the love towards this baby send it from your heart to your baby.

Talking to the baby in utero is one of the first and best ways for the father-to-be to start loving, caring for, and teaching his baby. From the third trimester or earlier, a baby’s ears are developed enough for her to hear both of her parents’ voices. It will help, of course, if Daddy gets close and speaks, laughs, and sings directly to the bump. “Involving the father and older siblings in these activities can also help bring all of you closer together,”. 

Numerous studies have shown that babies in utero can recognize and remember stories read aloud to them, especially in the last trimester of pregnancy. Newborns then respond to those same stories, especially read in the familiar voices they heard from the womb.

By hearing speech patterns and rhythms in the womb, babies are learning their primary language. Hence, some researchers believe that a mother can facilitate her child’s language development, both in the womb and after birth. When a fetus is introduced to a repeated sound, their memory of that sound stimulates its’ recognition. As a result, brainwave patterns of the fetus indicate the memory of the recognized sound.

Ultrasounds show us that a fetus will react to noise by kicking, moving and even dancing around, in the womb, and bobbing up-and-down when mother laughs. Further, a fetus’s heart-rate, may lower upon hearing mother’s voice. They may touch their face, suck their thumb, stretch their limbs hold their feet and have enough coordination to grasp their own umbilical cord with their fingers.

Envision yourself with your baby in the womb, tell your baby how loved she is, and visualize hugging and kissing. Simply sending loving thoughts to your unborn baby helps build a bond that will flourish when your baby is born.

“Unborn babies are very receptive to their mother’s happy or sad emotions and stress levels, so trying to manage stress during the pregnancy is important,” Moreover, a mother’s stress can affect her baby permanently. For example, a receptor for stress hormones can cause a biological change in the fetus, which makes it more vulnerable to stress after birth — this links to hyperactive disorders. Also, a correlation to stress in the womb, can lead to later auto-immune problems.

What if you created a modern-day version of the ancient traditions by practicing a prenatal bonding with your baby. That way, you could follow your innate, natural instinct to communicate and connect with your baby by establishing a routine centered around language and love, right from the beginning.

Your unborn baby loves everything about you—as you do about for your baby: Whether you choose to write a letter, poem, song, or ongoing journal, writing something you plan to give your baby to read one day is a beautiful way to communicate directly with her while baby still growing inside you. Write about your hopes, your values, your family history, anything you are thinking about as you get ready to meet your unborn baby. I think writing during pregnancy “captures that very special little window in your relationship.”

The ojas moves between mother and baby. It is important to rest during this time and eat ojas building foods. The mother shouldn't waste energy and should let the energy go inward She should spend time in nature as well as chant and meditate. Things to avoid include overwork, worry, anger, hunger, sorrow and devitalized food. The more you talk to your baby and meditate with your baby the more you will hear from it. 

There is a moment when you discover your unborn baby is a part of you and remains intimately connected to you day & night. whenever you move, laugh, cry, worry or rest, your baby feels it and responds. Because you co- created this intelligent little being in your womb, you have a profound influence not only on the outcome on your pregnancy, but on who your baby one day become. You have been communicating with your unborn baby from the first miraculous moment of conception.

The aura of a pregnant woman is one of the easiest to see, for it is particularly luminous and full of gold. The gold colour in the aura indicates that the pregnant woman is intensely connected to high spiritual beings who support and foster the embryo. Pregnancy is therefore a privileged time for spiritual growth. Itis a time to do a lot of meditation and enlightening reading, and to work at developing intuition and perception.

Deep Breath : Sit quietly, take a series of deep breaths, and focus in on your heart center. Inhale love into the around your heart and exhale any stress or anxiety. Feel the stress and anxiety release from your cells. Continue to focus on your breath, allowing the space for your spirit baby to come forth. 

Whether you practice yoga, listen to guided meditations, or simply take time each day for intentional, relaxed breathing, I think breathing mindfully is one of the simplest, most powerful things you can do to connect with your growing baby. Imagine you’re breathing all that wonderful, life-giving oxygen to your baby.

Pregnancy is a time of growth, awareness and anticipation. Creating a new life is one of the world’s most powerful experiences. While connecting with your unborn baby spiritually you can allow yourself to engage with activities that enhance your sense of being, your spirituality and your connection to your baby.

So cherish all this extra time at home, and use it to make that multisensory connection as your unborn baby grows.

Every pregnancy is different, and the ways that you bond with your baby before born will be too. Whether pregnancy makes you feel like Super Woman, or it’s really difficult, there are always ways to bond. 

Encourages the development of a daily reading routine before baby arrives. It offers expecting parents opportunities to learn about early literacy skills and connect with resources in their communities, empowering them to be more confident in their roles as a child’s first teachers, right from the very beginning.
