Ayurveda Initiative For Global Health

Read Kunjal Vora's experience with Swastha matrutva Garbhasanskar course:  I received Dr Harsha Kulkarni’s referral from one of my friends who had attended the Swastha Matrutva course and I am so glad that I joined the course. I had read about garbhasanskar and how its practices have a positive effect on the unborn child. Modern studies have proved that fetus responds to external stimulus something, that Ayurved has preached since ages. I wanted to make sure I did everything possible to have a positive impact on my child’s development.  As a first-time would-be mom living in USA without close intervention from elders, I didn’t know what to expect or what kind of questions to ask.

SWASTHA matrutva Garbhasanskar experience sharing by a wonderful couple from USA:  I started working with Dr Harsha when I was pregnant with my second baby in the first trimester. Before working with her, I had limited knowledge about Ayurveda. The main reason for joining her was to get guidelines on dos/donts during pregnancy. Little did I know that the course went beyond tangible aspects of life. With her guidance, my husband and I connected with the baby at the mind & spiritual level, we used art therapy and meditation to pass on positive thoughts and vibrations to the baby. I was amazed by the concept since this is something that’s not thought in the west but is very powerful. While the baby is in the womb, you can pass on sanskars to them and we practiced it in the course.  During the entire course, we were given month wise diet plan, exercise and meditations. There’s just so much information out there on the internet that it’s hard to trust which one is c...
