Garbhadhana-samskara

A complete guide on Garbhadhana-samskara, the science of Vedic Family Planning.

The Vedic conception of Family Planning is the conscious planning of the act of sexual consummation driven by the sole purpose of obtaining a virtuous progeny and not for sense gratification. Therefore, the act of sexual union is considered as a sacred act of yajna or offering to Lord Visnu. This sacred act is governed by a set of medical, cultural, astrological and spiritual instructions. It is indeed a great science.
