Is it true pregnant women should not do Aum Kar? Sadhguru

They should do. Why, who said they should not do?

Seeker: I heard it somewhere

No, they must do, I would say, because,

you are not just giving a body to the child.

In many ways, who you are is being imprinted upon the child.

So how you keep yourself during your pregnancy is a very very important thing.

These days, that care is not there.

But traditionally in India, a pregnant woman

was kept in such a protected atmosphere.

You know, who should see her,

and who should not see her also was decided by somebody who is little intuitive.

Do you know this?

Not anybody and everybody were allowed to see her.

She should be seeing the most pleasant

and the most beautiful always.

So, they would fill the room with all kinds of

God's pictures... and you know,

they would keep her in the most pleasant atmosphere

because, how pleasant she is in her mind and emotion

through that state

would greatly influence what kind of child she produces.

Right now the human population is way beyond,

what it should be on the planet.

Unless we are producing something really worthwhile,

It's not worth it.

Really...

Just to produce one more brat... you know

really.. we have to look at this.

It's not everybody's right.

People think it's their right to have children.

It's not so.

Because it is not just about you

Isn't it ?

It's not just about you

It's about the whole world, how it is

So.. of course an individual has to decide this.

But, it would be wonderful if people chose more consciously

whether they need to have children or not

and if they need to have

are they wiiling to dedicate their lives to that extent

to bring up the child in a certain way.

Simply, you produce one and leave them here, there

and try to do many things.. and

you experience them as a real horror in your life,

What's the point?

you know.. Isn't it?

If we can really do something wonderful...

If we can produce a wonderful next generation

let's do it

If it is not so, if it is not within our capabilities to do that,

we better not attempt such things.

You must utter AUM

hmmmm

Seeker : What is that?

You must utter the AUM.

It is important to do it. Its good to do it.

No,No,No .. don't just generally make a statement.

Every pranayam you can do..

There are many things a pregnant person should not do

because it involves, certain level of

you should not do.. see on the spiritual path

we do certain processes which will disturb the fundamentals

of the person

because we want to destabilise the whole foundation

and put up a totally new possibility.

A pregnant woman should not attempt such things.

That's not the time to do those things.

When you are not in such a condition, you can do

but not when you are in such a condition.

You asked about AUM.

Now every pranayama is too much of a generalization.
