Speaker: Br Nidhiji.
Around 65 people attended. A video of Gurudev was shown on Devotion and the role of parents and grandparents was very beautifully explained
Nidhiji's humorous and lively examples enthralled the audience about Garbha sanskar. She also explained how to prepare the mother and family to teach the child Thinking, Love for the Higher and Balance between thoughts and emotions. In the ever changing world, you are changing, your body is changing, and your relationships are changing. Thus, life is a movement in relationships.
The child's body is a new body, but the mind is being carried forward. Therefore, the mind needs to be educated. The purpose of a new born child is to help parents and family members evolve. We all have to grow up with it with humility, contentment and commitment. There is no ownership in motherhood; the baby has its own karmas and purpose to fill.
To bring the child into the world is a choice of the parents. The role of grandparents is of leisure, not purpose. Parents Raise the child, Grandparents Grace the child
