Sunder kand

Pregnant women should chant 'Sunderkand' and read epics like Ramayana to have mentally and physically sound babies, Telangana governor Tamilisai Soundararajan said on Sunday. Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan(ANI/File) Soundararajan, who is also a gynaecologist and fetal therapist, made the remarks while launching 'Garbha Sanskar' programme of an RSS-linked body. Under the 'Garbha Sanskar' programme developed by Samvardhinee Nyas, doctors associated with the organisation will provide a mix of “scientific and traditional” prescriptions to expectant mothers so that they give birth to “sanskari and deshbhakt” babies. These prescriptions will include reading of religious texts such as the Bhagavad Gita, chanting of Sanskrit mantras and practice of yoga. The process will start from the pre-conception to delivery stage and continue till a baby attains two years of age. Family members of the expectant mothers will also be guided during the programme, according to the 'Garbha Sanskar' module launched virtually. Samvardhinee Nyas is a wing of Rashtra Sevika Sangh, a women's organisation that parallels the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Addressing the virtual launch event, Soundararajan appreciated the efforts of the Samvardhinee Nyas in developing 'Garbha Sanskar' programme module and said implementation of this “scientific and holistic approach” towards pregnancy will “definitely” yield positive results.
