GARBOPANISHAD- A DOCTRINE OVER EMBRYO
M.R. Patil* and Sinchana
ABSTRACT Given at least 4,000 years ago by Rishi Pippalaada, the Garbha Upanishad details how conception takes place, factors that determine gender and traits of the baby, the environment inside the womb, the stages in development of embryo and what it goes through. It might come as a surprise but in the womb itself, the being starts making promises. It forgets them the moment it is out of the womb.[1] This scripture of the Hindus, called Garbha Upanishad, describes ancient ideas concerning the embryo. It states: From the conjugation of blood and semen the embryo comes into existence. During the period favorable to conception, after the sexual intercourse, it becomes a Kalada (one-day-old embryo). After remaining seven nights it becomes a vesicle. After a fortnight it becomes a sperical mass. After a month it becomes a firm mass.[2] Keywords: Garbha, Upanishad, Embryo, Conception, Kalada.
