It is not a co incidence that Vyasa has provided a rational expression to every verse of his in the mahabaharata .He even surpasses modern scientific ideas through every inch of a conjugal bliss.It is known to all that The story is based on Mahabharata where references to effect are given, that out of great ambition, vainglory and vengence she spent 2 years among 100 jugs, containing ghee. She wanted her first son to be born before Yudhisthira, so that she could become the Queen Mother when he came to power after her husband. The role of a wise, visionary person is played by Gandhari’s brother-in-law Vidura and his mother Katchchhapi. Vidura is also the son of Rishi Vyas, who had promised 100 sons to Gandhari.
During this time of 2 years, Gandhari, being away from Dhrutarashtra, is also told about his relations with another Palace woman Vidula and her conceiving pregnancy by Dhrutarashtra. This infidility of her husband also disturbs Gandhari.In the end two things happen :Gandhari is brought news about the birth of Bhima, second son to Kunta in the jungle, and simultaneously there is a birth cry of the child Duryodhana in one of the jugs.
A second instance of the same theory bears fact Vyasas meetings with ambika ambalika and kapala maid servant ;their emotions and corresponding birth of dhritharashtra pandu and Vidura.
The birth of Krishna in a dungeon.His mother Devaki in a state of hope and most importantly sense of freedom.
Birth of Arjun , Karan , Bhima and Draupdi.Each of them sharing significant traits of their forebearers to the world.namely the sun vayu or indra,mantra and fire respectively.
Abhimanyu is son of Pandava. He could learn art of fighting when he was in womb of his mother.
Some lesser known characters are cursed or given conditions when they will die.Some like sishupal jaydratha or jarasandh are given unimaginable powers but are vulnerable by the conditions of their death sentenced during birth..
It is also a fact that sages would come before thbirth and subsequently say the type of birth for the child.The sages represent ideas and state of the mind of the parents prior to their conjugal bliss
Enough show of the their births and deaths.I feel friends can check the life cycle themselves.I would like to discuss here a paper that subsequently talks of birth physchology and how the bio machinery is influenced prior to births.
Maternal Emotions and Human Development By Bruce H. Lipton, Maternal effects provide a powerful avenue for [altering] the course of the future by adding information content and material content. That content can be…anything that can influence how an embryo develops" [ibid]. In regard to influential material content, the role of the mother’s biochemistry in fetal development is well known. We are particularly sensitive to the importance of maintaining appropriate nutritional status during pregnancy. The focus of more recent investigations has drawn public attention to the debilitating nature of maternal toxins and drugs, such as cigarette smoke, alcohol and crack cocaine.
Most everyone is in some way familiar with the impact that the mother’s material (chemical) content has upon human development. However, very few are aware that the mother also passes on information content to the fetus during pregnancy. The information relayed by the mother to the fetus concerns the status of the environment. This status is conveyed in the mother’s perceived attitudes about life. The mother’s emotions, such as fear, anger, love, hope among others, can biochemically alter the genetic expression of the offspring. Our perceptions of the environment, and their attendant emotions, elicit physiological responses in the body by releasing "signal" molecules into the blood. Blood-borne emotion-related signals activate specific receptor proteins on the surfaces of cells in tissues and organs. Activated receptors serve as molecular switches that adjust the metabolic system and behavior of the organism, so as to accommodate environmental challenges. Physiologic responses to environmental signals include regulations of the nervous system, endocrine organs, and the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive and excretory functions.
During pregnancy, the parent’s perception of the environment is chemically communicated to the fetus through the placenta, the cellular barrier between the maternal and fetal blood. The mother’s blood-borne emotional chemicals cross the placenta and effect the same target cells in the fetus as those in the parent. Though the developing child is "unaware" of the details (i.e., the stories) evoking the mother’s emotional response, they are aware of the emotion’s physiological consequences and sensations.
While developing in the safety and confinement of the uterus, the child is provided a preview of the environment as it is defined by the parent’s perception and behavior. Parental behaviors are generally cyclic, and when repeated, they serve to habituate the developing behavioral chemistry in the fetus. Consequently, parental perceptions and responses to environmental stress are imparted to the offspring and serve in programming its behavioral expression.
Abhimanyus remebrance of the chakravuha stands explained:Behavioral "memories" are in part related to the appearance of specialized cell and tissue protein receptors which serve as "filters" in remembering past signals. Behavioral "filters" acquired during pre-and perinatal "programming" are Nature’s way of preparing the neonate to function in the parent’s environment. Technically, these "learned" filters would enable the child to adapt more quickly and successfully to the home environment. The parents’ experiences help "preprogram" the behavior of the child, so that it may more effectively deal with environmental exigencies.
