womb contains the blueprint of an entire life. He studied Jain Scriptures to become aware that each soul carries from birth to birth samskāras or imprints, karmas or particles of matter which surround it. These particles or vibrations are responsible for creating a form, skin texture, all the physical, mental, and emotional attributes.
