Conception and Indian Astrology
Part -1
Human inception begins with the union of male and female. There are different views on appropriate timing for
conception. This article helps future
parents to plan their baby according to Indian astrology so that the baby
arrives with a lesser amount of difficulty and with the better prospect of
growth.
According to Vedic science there are 16 samskar (events)
which should be done in auspicious time. Birth, marriage and death are the
important components of these 16 samskar. As death and birth both are out of
our control, we cannot choose time for it on our own. Out of these 16 samskar
conception is foremost and most important samskar. It is also known as Garbhadhaan samskar (गर्भाधान संस्कार).
You can associate this
samskar with sowing seed in farm. If you sow a seed at adverse climatic
conditions, the result is quite obvious there will be no or little growth of
the plant. On the contrary seed sown in favorable climatic conditions will show
great growth with limited use of resources. In this series of article we will
share auspicious and inauspicious time for conception.
There is a mythological story
related to importance of conceiving time.
Aditi and Diti are two
sisters. They both married to sage Kashyap. Sage Kashyap and Aditi opt a good
and favorable time for conception and by doing so they produce deities (Devta).
Seeing
Aditi's being blessed with children; Diti too was impatient to have a son. So,
she had asked Kashyapa for companionship. Though Kashyapa had accepted her
demand, He had asked her to wait for an hour as it was considered inauspicious
and unsuited time for conception. However; Diti; shaken by the obsession of
love and lust, couldn't wait and demanded immediate attention, Sage Kashyapa
had to accept her demand. She gave nativity to two unworthy sons who violated
all the ethics and follow the unethical path ultimately killed by God.
There
are other stories too which confirm that the timing of conception must be good. Here we are discussing only those factors which could be
easily understood by a layman.
