Education in the womb :
Education covers the whole span of life and commences in the womb. It is said in yoga that the soul enters the foetus in the fourth month of pregnancy, and from about the fifth month, after it adjusts to its new home, it begins to imbibe from its environment. The formation of the child's personality begins here. According to Paramahamsa Satyananda: “You can train the child when he is in the womb rather than trying to change and brainwash him later on. Life in the womb is very powerful because you can change the entire structure of the DNA molecules.”
So, according to the lifestyle and ideals of the parents, the child comes into the world with maximum or minimum potential. Paramahamsa Satyananda has said that 95% of influence comes from the mother, so she has a tremendous impact on the initial education of the child and the formation of correct samskaras or impressions. If she practises yoga, chants mantra, has high ideals, positive thinking and a relaxed, balanced mind during the time of pregnancy, then that will definitely be seen in the quality of child she produces. If, when the child is in her womb, she visits an ashram and attends satsang with her guru, the child will most likely be born with spiritual and sattwic qualities. The child can even be born with an awakened or partially awakened kundalini if the parents are sincere yoga practitioners. However, if the mother is nervous, tense, a smoker and drinker, who watches violent movies on TV, the child will most likely be born with negative qualities.
