• Be extremely straight-forward. What are the activities that a pregnant lady should undertake ?
During pregnancy the mother should undertake all activities bearing in mind the grasping power of the child. Today's modern science also accepts the existence of the grasping power of the child in the mother's womb. It is a well known and true fact that the valiant Abhimanyu had received the instructions for breaking the chakravyuha while he was still in his mother's womb.
Babubhai Kadiwala's name is very famous and wellknown in the Jain community. The extremely holy and eternal navkar mantra and nav Nav pad (= A group of nine worth worshipping positions) were entwined in his life like his lifebreath. It is worth knowing the reason behind the nav padji forming part of his life.
Many people are blessed with inborn qualities and virtues. Babubhai had received the knowledge of Nav Padji while in his mother's womb. His mother, Jaasudben had kept the nine day ayambil fast for nine times i.e. for 81 days while she was pregnant. Alongwith the fast she had performed all the relevant rituals as well, on all the 81 days. The direct impact of all these austerities had kindled a deep love in Babubhai for Nav Padji, even before he was born. Along with that he got the blessings of revered saint Bhadrankarvijayji. What more could one ask for thereafter ?
The embryo stage is the best period of a child's upbringing.
The embryo stage is a very important period in a child's life.
