NEW DELHI: “Pregnant women should be taught about the lives and struggles of Lord Ram, Hanuman, Shivaji and freedom fighters so that the child in the womb starts learning early about sanskar.”
Samvardhinee Nyas, a wing of Rashtra Sevika Samiti, the women’s section of the RSS, has started a campaign titled ‘Garbha Sanskar’ (pregnancy culture), under which gynaecologists will reach out to pregnant women and teach them how to adopt practices that ensure the child learns about Indian culture even before birth.
On Sunday, the body held an event at Jawaharlal Nehru University, where several gynaecologists assembled to learn about the exercise.
‘With garbha sanskar, even DNA of child can be changed in womb’
A workshop by Samvardhinee Nyas, a wing of Rashtra Sevika Samiti, saw the participation of 70-80 doctors, mostly gynaecologists and ayurveda doctors, from 12 states on Sunday. JNU vice-chancellor Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit, the chief guest, didn’t turn up.
“Garbha se hi sanskar laana hai (culture needs to be inculcated in the pregnancy phase itself). The child needs to be taught that the country is the priority,” said Madhuri Marathe, national organising secretary of Samvardhinee Nyas.
