How can the gender of Unborn Child be changed ?

[Guest guest]

The following is an excerpt from the famous Astrologer Writer Shri BV Ramans Book - MUHURTHA (Electional Astrology). I will not give the Page number, as I wish all the members to go through that whole book for their own benefit. We already have so much of stuff on hand, that even if we read this, its enougjh for us small mortals.

" A persual of the various texts in Sanskrit bearing on astrology and

medicine reveals that Pumsavana is closely connected with the

planetary influences on embroynic development. All the phases of the

union of the virile spermatozoan with the mature ovum called

impregnation, the fixation of the impregnated ovum, called conception,

and the development of the foetus are governed by the Moon and other

planets.

No birth takes place by. chance. In most cases, impregnation follows

very shortly after coitus and it is the time of coitus that is generally taken

according to Hindu Astrology for the Nisheka or conception horoscope.

The period of gestation is the time which elapses between the

conception and partruition. during which the child first as embryo, then

as foetus is developing in the womb. Beginning with the third week, the

head bend in the embryo is quite marked which gradually increases as

development goes on, and at the end of the third week the heart and all

the organs have been laid down and limbs begin to make their

appearance as small buds, not unlike those of the frog, and the embryo

closely resembles any other mammalian embryo at a corresponding

stage. The chief changes in the first month (governed of course by

Venus) are the formation of the face and external ear, and the

development of the limbs' The eyes, nasal pits, maxillary processes,

ears and nose are now visible.

In the second month of pregnancy-ruled by Mars - the plasm is

enveloped by the amnion. Mars brings the development of the

membranes and strong expansion of them. The brain begins to develop,

the head becomes considerably larger and the human characters are ell

established. The embryo may now be spoken of as the foetus, which

has passed its quadruped stage.

 

 

Now we come to the third month influenced largely by Jupiter - the

month in which Pumsavana has to be performed if one desires to have

a son born to him. ft Is In the third month the differentiation of sex is

brought about, as also the development of the genitals. Jupiter a

masculine planet, presides over this month. Thus it will be seen that in

the selection of the time for performing Pumsavana the ancients had in

view very scientific reasons. As difference of sex occurs in the third

month, the medicines and mantras administered under the influence of

certain constellations would certainly be capable enough to change the

sex to the desire of. the individual concerned. Without caring to bestow

serious thought on such questions, the moderner is apt to dismiss the

whole thing as the product of superstition.

We shall now give a few hints from the famous Charaka Samhita and it

is for readers to make use of such hints to their own advantage.

Charaka says: "Instructions will be laid down about those Vedic rites by

which the sex of the child (in the womb) before its manifestation may be

changed. Verily of rites duly performed and characterised by propriety of

time and place, the capacity to produce desirable fruits is ordained.

Observing that a woman has concieved, Pumsavana should be

administered to her before the manifestation of the sex of the child in

the womb.

"Obtaming two unbroken buds from two twigs procured from the eastern

and northern aides of a banian (Picus indica, Linn.) growing in a

cowpen, as also a single grain of paddy and a single seed of Masha

Phaseolus radiatus Roxb.) both well developed, or two seeds of white

mustard, and throwing them into a quantity of curds, the woman (that

has conceived) should be made to drink it under the constellation of

Pushya." Another Pumsavanam medicine is the following: -

The kalka or paste of (a) jeevaka(*1) (b) rfshabhaka(*2) ©

Apamarga(*3) or (d) Sahachara(*4) or of each if desirable - should be

boiled with milk and given to the woman to drink.

1. Jeeaka Is no longer identifiable or procurable. Hindu doctors find

substitute In Guduchi or Tinospora cordifolia. Miqs.

2. This is also not Identifiable. The substitute to Vanggatochana or

bamboo manoa.

 

3. Achyaranihes, Linn.

4. Barlenia cristala, Linn.

"Or, the likeness of a man. or very small proportions, made of gold, or

silver or iron, made red-hot in fife and then dipped into a measure of

curds, or milk, or water, should be swallowed without leaving any

remnant, under the influence of the constellation Pushyami. Under the

same nakshatra of Pushymi, the woman may be made to inhale the hot

vapour of a cake {pishta or pishtaka} that is being baked (on the fire)

and then dissolving that cake in a measure of water, the mixture should

be cast over the threshold of the door. This water the woman should

then, using a stick of cotton, apply to her Tight nostril."

If the above remedies are administered under the favourable and

auspicious influences of constellation, the sex in the womb of the

woman is supposed to change. The subject is vast and we shall again

recur to this on a subsequent occasion. Who has studied and who has

tested all these methods? Why label them as useless and unscientific

when you do not know that they are."
