Purpose of the Workshop
Our Mission
Our Vision
Why This Workshopis Important
Pregnancy is not just a physical journey; it is a profound emotional and spiritual transformation.
The mother's state of mind—her thoughts, emotions, and stress levels—directly influences the prenatal environment.
The Bhagavad Gita is a dialogue about navigating life's deepest dilemmas with grace and wisdom.
By applying its teachings during this special phase, a mother can:
Manage Anxiety and Fear: Common worries about childbirth, parenting, and change can be addressed through teachings on steadiness of mind.
Build a Deeper Connection: Forge a conscious, loving bond with the unborn child through mindful practices and intentional living.
Lay a Foundation of Values: The sanskaras imparted now form the core emotional and moral blueprint of the child
