These can then form the stepping stones for the parents to develop a positive and loving relationship with their baby and set in motion a lifetime where each will benefit positively from the connection with the other.
Goal - Child and Parents
At any given moment, countless souls are in the stage of completing their lifespan and reaching out to a new womb. Just as a soul searches for a suitable womb, the womb is also in search of a suitable soul. The souls who are in higher stages of evolution are drawn to spiritual spaces. For instance, one such space would be where the sadhana of the fourteen great dreams is taking place! When a noble being is drawn to such a womb, it is not because of a previous
relationship, but because of his life goal. This is how new relationships are formed.

Whether a soul has come with positive energy or negativity can be known by the mother. Only when she is mentally endowed with such vigilance, she must plan for parenthood along with her husband. Parenthood is the highest responsibility of this universe, all others are subordinate to it. Aspiring for parenthood is very different from capability for the same. Being a couple is very different from becoming parents. Once a woman aspires to become a mother, and a man a father, they must necessarily change their lifestyle. If they are not ready to do so, they must think again. They must not plan for parenthood because of societal pressures or a forced sense of duty. It is necessary to define one's goal at the very beginning.
"The session of Arham Pregnancy was a positive experience for us. We came to understand the larger issues of life and death. Before this, we were confused about our own future. We had negative thoughts about parenthood. Now we are ready to welcome our baby with a powerful and positive attitude. We have begun the sadhana so that we may find joy. Already, our relationships with those around us are becoming better and happier." - Vikram Rupal Kankaria, Chennai.
