Garbha Samskara

Nurturing the womb, Shaping the Soul

Garbha Samskara

Spiritual Preparation for Birth and Parenthood

Chinmaya Garbha Samskara is a four-module Vedic prenatal course for couples on their journey to conception and parenthood.

This programme blends ancient Hindu wisdom with modern life, offering parents deep insights on spiritually, nurturing their babies during pregnancy and early parenting.

Traditional Milestones

Health and Well-Being Pre and Postnatal

Ancient scriptures highlight the profound journey of conception, pregnancy and the spiritual growth of precious life in the womb. Understanding these sacred processes, Chinmaya Mission has designed a special programme to support parents in nurturing their unborn child.
