Read carefully, know how important are our children, making a good citizen to the future is more valuable than making money, as children are our future .. ..

a.1.
So it is said when Hiranyakashipu went to do tapas in the in the forest, Indra took the opportunity to do an experiment.

a.2.
He felt that if even one Hiranyakashipu was to great a threat to the good values of life, what would happen if every child growing up in that land wanted to be another Hiranyakashipu.

a.3.
Therefore, he collected all the pregnant ladies and took them to heaven where in that new atmosphere the children could be molded to become better people; the genes had gotten so bad that they had to be revitalized.


b.1.
At that time, Devarishi Narada came along and in order to try his own experiment he requested to be given only one specimen – one pregnant lady – the queen of Hiranyakashipu.

b.2.
Narada took the queen to Vasistha’s centre where she was allowed to listen, day and night, to the discourses of Vedanta.

b.3.
In this way, though she herself may have understood very little, she was exposed to Vedantic ideas from the seventh to the tenth month of her pregnancy, and thus the child within her was remolded, not outside, but in the mother’s womb – a pre-natal education.
