Human Eugenics - How to design your child according to your choice

Tathagat Avatar Tulasi – the giant genius child – was designed to be a genius this was said by his parents when asked about his extraordinary mental capabilities. How it is possible and how a child can be designed according to parent’s choice, these are relevant questions which are to be discussed and answered. In fact it is possible and the Indian traditions have the answers.

How to impregnate the desired virtues, qualities, intelligence, smartness, stoutness, nature and characteristic features etc. in a child are much discussed in Indian traditions and after considerable work and experiences our ‘Rishis’ laid down certain principles regarding human eugenics. These principles can be learnt and applied by anyone who wants to be benefited by them. These principles work anywhere, everywhere and are practical even today.

The Rig Veda - ऋग्वेद,  Yajurveda – यजुर्वेद, Geeta – गीता, Chanakya Neeti – चाणक्य नीति, Manu Smriti – मनु स्मृति, Chhandohya Upanishad - छान्दोग्योपनिषद्, Vishnu Puran – विष्णु पुराण, Brihdarnykopanishad – ब्रहदारन्यकोपनिषद, Bhav Prakash – भाव प्रकाश, Sushrut Shareer Sthan – सुश्रुत शरीर स्थान, Charak Samhita – चरक संहिता, Shiv Swarodaya – शिव स्वरोदय, Atharv Vediy Jyotisham – अथर्ववेदीय ज्योतिषम are few references from where we may get certain definite principles in this regard. 

The way Hindu lives, is wrapped around various rites called sixteen Sanskaras – संस्कार. The Sanskar is said to be helping for achieving spiritual nourishment, peace of mind and ultimately moksha – मोक्ष. Sanskar gives a spiritual touch to the important events at different stages of a Hindu life - right from pre-birth to post-death. Out of sixteen Garbhadhan - गर्भाधान i.e. conception is the first sanskar. The conception is a point from where life begins. In fact human virtues, qualities and nature are determined at the time of conception.

The conception is a astro-physico-psycho-biochemico and spiritual process and is controlled by several factors. All aspects are to be considered while performing garbhadhan sanskar.

Atharv Vediy Jyotisham – अथर्ववेदीय ज्योतिषम prescribe certain guide lines in this regard. The relevant shlokas and their translations in Hindi and English are given below.

The sex of a child depends on the strongness or weakness of the ‘Virya’ or ‘Raj’ of man and women respectively. The strong ‘Virya’ results in to a male child and strong ‘Raj’ is responsible for female child. If both are equally strong, then sometimes male and sometimes female child is conceived.  Infirm or feeble ‘Virya’ is responsible for a girl.

The conception during odd nights like 1-3-5 etc. results in to a girl child whereas boy is conceived during even nights i.e. 2-4-5 etc. One should avoid third gender i.e. eunuch because it is blot to a family.

A son is result of intimate contacts of all body parts and father is born in the form of son. Son is the embodiment of his father and father dies at his death. In fact son represents his father.

Thus off springs are created in the form of male child, female child and eunuch but by grace of god the progeny grows with the male child.

The woman who creates obstacles during union will never be adored by his husband or son.

These are few fundamental principles which are to be observed during garbhadhan sanskar i.e. conception. Every one desires for a healthy, intelligent, obedient and virtuous off springs but only few know how to manage it. Answer is here. Further details are given in several other texts. If any couple desire so they should learn and practice them.
