Yogi Ashwini writes an ode to Motherhood

Motherhood is one of the biggest blessings of Divinity. There can be no blessing more powerful than this because when you become a mother, you get opportunity of getting a being into this world who can make difference and even change the course of creation and destiny.

A mother is pure shakti, creating a life and bearing it in the womb for nine months, nourishing it, going through immense pain and bringing this being to the world, it doesn’t happen just like that.

Unfortunately, motherhood is also one of the most underrated concepts in the modern day world, as this knowledge is completely missing that mother becomes the first Guru to the soul who has taken birth, and from there she leads the soul to its journey, which can be either from here to eternity or from here to the pits.

A mother not only gives birth to a life, but works tirelessly to raise the child - nourishing, nurturing, educating, loving, nursing…she knows what the child wants and needs without him/ her telling, no other job in the world has such an expectation.

She is the strength, support and constant source of comfort for the baby, and she does it with a smile, often only getting complaints and tantrums in return, but she still loves and cares for the child unconditionally… only a shakti can do this, it is not possible for anyone else.

Our shastras detail the magnificence of Mata Adi Shakti, the Divine mother, from whom the entire Creation emerged. Every culture of the world has put the mother goddess at the highest pedestal since antiquity. We call earth that bears and nurtures us the mother, we call the cow that nourishes us and our earth with her milk and her manure the mother, all Devis that run various aspects of Creation are called mothers…a woman is an embodiment of that shakti, the shakti that holds the Creation together.

The vedic rishis had studied and mastered every aspect of Creation, millennia before the advent of modern machines, they detailed the process of child-birth, what happens inside the womb, how the child develops, and they also detailed what the modern equipment cannot catch - the past, present and future of child, his/her traits and course of life.

They prescribed certain kriyas and techniques to be performed before conception and during pregnancy to ensure that the new being that is brought to this world illuminates the name of family and of Creation.

They also prescribed certain exercises to develop the mental faculties of the child post delivery along with certain diets and ayurvedic preparations for both, the mother and the child to create a being that has that spark and vigor.

They determined the traits of the child and his/her various lifetimes by studying the nakshatras in which he/she took birth and also prescribed certain techniques to ensure normal birth at specific muhurat as per desire.

Sanatan Kriya details these pre-conception, pregnancy and post delivery practices along with certain other energy practices for the modern-day mother and her child to unveil their hidden potentials.

It includes certain energy practices to generate subtle vibrations that would ensure positive and strong foundations of relationship between the mother and the child under the topic of Anahad Dhyan and Divya Chikitsa Mantras.
