\u201cIt is to be concluded that while conceiving a child one’s mind must be very sober and devotional. For this purpose the Garbha\u0305dha\u0305na-sam\u0307ska\u0305ra is recommended in the Vedic scriptures. If the mind of the father is not sober, the semen discharged will not be very good. Thus the living entity, wrapped in the matter produced from the father and mother, will be demoniac like Hiran\u0323ya\u0305ks\u0341a and Hiran\u0323yakas\u0341ipu. The conditions of conception are to be carefully studied. This is a very great science.\u201d

Gabhadhana-samskara, the first and most important of all the purificatory processes in the tradition of Sanatana dharma is yet either less prevalent today or almost extinct. Such a sacred practice remains obscure, less propagated and even less understood.
\nThe new publication titled, \u201cGarbha\u0305dha\u0305na-sam\u0307ska\u0305ra, The Science of Vedic Family Planning\u201d humbly attempts to fills this gap.
\nA snapshot from the Table of Contents is given below.
\nThe book is available in the print version as well as in the Epub format.
