Healthy mind
(more important vitamins and nutrients)
We notice that
most pregnant mothers take a lot of care to eat well and get complete nutrition for
the growing child. However they forget one major health issue-the health of
the mind. Understand that a healthy mind is as important as a healthy body.
If the child is physically sound but has poor mental health, how can the
child live a perfect life? Like nutritious food, nutritious positive
thoughts are needed for the baby. A stressful mother gives birth to a child
who has both physical and emotional problems.
We tell our friends that a mother has control over the child only
during pregnancy. After birth, when the physical connection of the mother
and child is severed, there is no more control. The mother can
"program" the child only during pregnancy. Even the father's
mental qualities not come through genes, but through the mother's thoughts
in pregnancy. We have so
many personal experiences how the father's thoughts through the mother
goes to the child. This is why the mother's thoughts in the pregnancy is
very very important.
We will give you an example of
a Nobel Prize winner's experience.
I happened to
read about a Nobel prize winner
and Scientist
Richard Phillips Feynman,
about how he got interested in Science. He got in physics in 1960 for his
great contribution in physics.
These are
his
exact words
from
his web site.
I'm going to tell you what science is
like by how I learned what science is like.
My father did it to me. When my
mother was carrying me (pregnant), it is reported--I am not directly
aware of the conversation--my father said that "if it's a boy, he'll
be a scientist." How did he do it? He never told me I should be a
scientist. He was not a scientist; he was a businessman, a sales
manager of a uniform company.
Richard Phillips
Feynman,
Nobel Prize in Physics
(1965)
Our interpretation of the above writing:. What this great Nobel
prize winner did not think was about his mother's role in his
carrier. He gave the
credit to his father for developing interest in science. Actually it was his mother who carried his
father's thought to him. If his mother had ignored that thought of
his father, he would not have got it. After pregnancy just
teaching a kid will not have a big difference. This is reflected in
the life of the Nobel prize winner's children.
This Nobel prize winner has a
son and a daughter.
He taught all the science methodology to both of them. But his son
alone was successful. The teaching methodology did not work that
great for the daughter. The following words arefrom the book
No ordinary genius: the illustrated Richard
Feynman.
By Richard Phillips Feynman,
Christopher Sykes (from
Wikipedia).
Feynman had a great deal of success teaching Carl, using discussions
about ants and Martians as a device for gaining perspective on
problems and issues; he was surprised to learn that the same
teaching devices were not useful with Michelle.[] Mathematics was
a common interest for father and son; they both entered the computer
field as consultants and were involved in advancing a new method of
using multiple computers to solve complex problems—later known as
parallel computing.
The above incident shows , even a Nobel prize winner cannot improve
the aptitude of a child, what a mother did not give in the pregnancy
days.
Disclaimer: This page
is not meant to demean or belittle any one (especially children of
the great scientist). If you think your IQ is low, this
article is not meant for you to find fault with your mother. Instead,
take positive steps, by passing this information to expecting and to be expectant mothers , so
that we will have a new generation with right thinking.
If you think you are intelligent, then thank your mother for doing her part
good and also your dad for giving that environment to your mother to
have good thoughts. This is why in Vedic tradition, the Mother (Maatha)
is considered as the first God to be seen with the physical
eyes. The next God is the Father (Pitha) and then the
Teacher (Guru). These three are only the three forms of God, one can see with
the
physical eyes, the meaning of "Maatha Pitha Guru Daivam".
An experience from Pradheep Chhalliyil's
life.
As a scientist, I used to wonder why I was
interested in healing and got a Ph.D in Cancer Biology, while my
sister was a high school drop out. We are born with the same
parental genes, and were given the same environment at home and put
in the same school, but have different behavior and attitude
in life.
So where is the role of genes and environment? To what extent,
genes and child growing environment have on the personality and
intelligence of a child? We do not deny that genes and growing
environment has influence on a child, but the most important factor
is the mental state of a mother during pregnancy. Vedic tradition
has so many restriction on the pregnant mother. Modern Indians
ignore them as mere superstition without understanding the great
science behind it.
My mother often told me
that she cannot forget the the first word my dad spoke to her
on her wedding night. She said, In Indian arranged marriage system,
the married couple have their first private encounter (even to talk)
will be their wedding night. So like every lady awaiting to hear
the first sweet romantic talk from the husband, my mom was anxious
to hear such sweet talks from my dad. To her surprise the first word My dad told her
was that "if our first child is a
boy, then he will be a doctor”. My dad was not a doctor, scientist, but a
car-mechanic. Both my parents due to poverty could
not do more than middle school education. But my mother
carried the first romantic words of my dad and I did not become an
allopathic doctor but I got the skill to give healing suggestions
like a doctor. No one else in our family history have had any healing
tendency or skill. My mom was very happy when she was carrying me,
always with a positive attitude , wanted to help others. She always
gave tips to others to improve their quality of life. She was very
hardworking during pregnancy. She was working till she got labor
pain and delivered me at home, without any doctors help. I see
all these traits in me.
Her genetic did not change in the next two years,
but her mind changed and attitude changed with the next two years
after I was born. My dad's younger brothers came to stay with us in
the city for need for employment. My mom did not like that and she
complained about it to which my dad did not pay any attention. She
hated relatives and always wanted to be at rest without doing any
work. She was pessimistic and negative when she was carrying my
sister. No wonder my sister expressed all my mother's when she grew
up.
My sister always had a negative attitude in life, till
she started following Sakthi's principles about the reality of life. She understood that
thoughts in pregnancy is very important and so when she was
carrying my niece in 1993, she changed her thoughts to positive
thoughts. That quality is reflected in my niece. She is very
interested in Science and also very talented singer. None of Challiyil family members when open their mouth has a sweet sounding musical
voice. When my niece was taken to a music teacher at age
of 12, the teacher was surprised at her music talent and asked who
in your family is a musician to have such a good musical gene. My sister
told me that my brother and friend Dr.Madeshwaran gave musical
cassette's of M.S.Subbulakshmi and chantings to hear in pregnancy.
From History:
Mothers who are
inspired in pregnancy time with great ideals, give birth to children with
inspiring life. Look at the story of mother of Krishna (Devaki), who thought
the child will remove herself and mankind from suffering. Mother of
Buddha who was told by her husband to give birth to a son who will
always be happy and experience no suffering. That thought finally brought
out a great Buddha for us. Mary wanted a child who will be a king
loving every one as himself and not like the autocratic kings.
There are several examples that shows that the
attitude (thoughts) of the mother shapes the destiny of the child.
Vedic tradition shows very many examples of this concept. the famous
example is of Prahalad's story and also of Abhimanyu's story. In
both the stories, the thoughts of the mother in the pregnancy
completed changed the personality of the children and did not
inherent the qualities of their parents.
We know a mother who used to chant Vishnu- Sahasranamam (thousand names of
(Vishnu) in her mind many times a day. Vishnu is the symbolic representation
of Intelligence in Indian vedic tradition. The result is that the kid is amazing
super genius.
Some one asked us, how come chanting a spiritual chanting can do this. What
about genius kids born without any chanting by their mothers. Fruits are
normally sweet. But honey is added to fruits that are not very sweet. Honey
just adds to the sweetness of the fruits. The same way these chanting add
intelligence to kids. The chantings amplifies the intelligence to a
higher degree. We have observed this fact to be true with our experience.
Throughout history we have seen how great men have been
given birth by inspired mothers. Inspiration could be in any field,
mathematics, medicine, engineering, arts, dance, music, painting,
architecture etc. Some where in some moment during pregnancy, the
inspiration of the mother becomes the seed in the mind of the child that
sprouts during their life. So mothers, be aware what you sow in the mind of
the child.
"Mathrujyam hrasya
hridhyam maathusnjya hridheyana thath
sambandham thena garbhinya neshtam,
shradha-vimananam deyamapyahitham thasyay
hithopahithamalpakam shradhavihyathathadh
gargbhasya vigrthisinchuthireva v"
- Ashtanga-hridhyam
(One of the Famous text on Ayurveda followed in kerala).
The child's heart in the womb is so connected with the
mother, that so desires of the mother should go unfulfilled. If mother seeks
unhealthy food, then give them in limited quantities with healthy
combination. Unfulfilling mother's desires creates disappointments in the
psychic of the child and hinder the mental development.
