Introduction to the Importance of Childbirth
According to Hindu scriptures, the four key objectives (Purusharthas) of human life are Dharma (righteousness), Artha (prosperity), Kama (desires), and Moksha (liberation). Together, these guide the course of one’s entire life. Scriptures highlight that attaining Moksha and providing peace to ancestors is often linked to having children, as they ensure the continuation of the family lineage. However, astrological factors can sometimes create obstacles to childbirth. To overcome these challenges, Vedic astrology and the Lal Kitab offer several remedies to align the planets favorably, enhancing the chances of having children.
Remedies from Lal Kitab for Childbirth
According to Lal Kitab, if there are obstacles in conceiving, one can take a silver wire, burn it in fire, and then immerse it in milk. Drink this milk for 40 consecutive days. This strengthens the Venus (Shukra) planet in the horoscope, which helps in overcoming physical challenges and increases the chances of childbirth.
Chanting the Venus Beej Mantra
The Beej Mantra of Venus, “Om Shum Shukraya Namah,” is believed to aid in both male vitality and physical well-being. Regular chanting of this mantra not only strengthens Venus in the horoscope but also enhances fertility, physical strength, and overall vitality. It also wards off negative energies, ensuring a smoother path to conception.
Wearing Firoza Gemstone for Vitality
To improve male vitality, astrology recommends wearing the Firoza (Turquoise) gemstone, which is associated with Jupiter. This blue stone is known for its healing properties and also influences the planet Venus. Wearing it helps neutralize the malefic effects of Rahu and Ketu, planets that often contribute to difficulties in conception. The gemstone also brings prosperity, and in ancient cultures, it was worn to ensure fertility and financial growth.
Caution with Diamond Gemstone
Astrologers advise against wearing diamonds for women who are trying to conceive. Wearing a diamond before childbirth is considered harmful as it can hinder conception and disturb marital harmony. Therefore, women should only wear diamonds after childbirth, and always under the guidance of an astrologer.
Ancestors’ Blessings for Childbirth
In Vedic traditions, ancestors (Pitrs) play a crucial role in bestowing blessings for family growth. Offering water and milk to a Peepal tree in remembrance of ancestors is believed to receive their blessings. This ritual not only helps in overcoming obstacles to childbirth but also brings peace and prosperity to the family.
Serving a Red Cow or Dog for Conception Issues
For women facing difficulties in conceiving or suffering from miscarriages, serving a red cow and her calf is a suggested remedy. Additionally, keeping a red or brown dog can also strengthen the position of the Sun and Mars in the horoscope, which helps resolve issues related to conception and ensures a healthy pregnancy.
Remedy with the Madar Tree
If years have passed since marriage and yet there is no child, astrology recommends uprooting the root of a Madar tree on a Friday. Place this root in the room of the person hoping to conceive. This remedy helps dispel negative energies and clears obstacles related to childbirth.
