Embryo development stages described in Bhagavata Purana, Mahabharata, Aitareya U

panishad
Embryology is the science of development of an embryo from the fertilization of
the ovum to the fetus stage.
The earliest scientific approach is credited to Aristotle (384
322 BC), but indi
ans have done a lot of scientific work, long before Aristotle. Kapil Muni was pr
obably the first man who studied embryo.
Ancient Indian rishis had discovered the body secretions, which reproduce and ca
lled them Raja (ovum) and Reta (sperm).
The Mahabharata, Shanti Parva, 301, 320, 331, 356, and the Bhagawata 3/31 state
that one fine particle of Shukra conjugates with that of Shonit during copulatio
n. The fine particles are sperm and ovum. They termed the conjugate product as Ka
lala , whereas modern science terms it as Zygote or fertilized ovum.
Bhagawata states that only in one night, which means 12 hours time, from the coit
us, Kalala forms.
Science admits that an ovum remains fertilizable for a short time, measured in h
ours, after its release from ovary.

says Bhagavata Purana


Translation : On the first night, the sperm and ovum mix, and on the fifth night
the mixture ferments into a bubble. On the tenth night it develops into a form
like a plum, and after that, it gradually turns into a lump of flesh or an egg.
Bhagavata Purana describes all the microscopic changes taking place up to 15 day
s of the embryonic life, in a womb of a living woman. Science has 2 used microsc
opes, uterine wash-outs, post-mortem examinations, etc and arrived at same concl
usion.

In the course of a month, a head is formed, and at the end of two months the han
ds, feet and other limbs take shape. By the end of three months, the nails, fing
ers, toes, body hair, bones and skin appear, as do the organ of generation and t
he other apertures in the body, namely the eyes, nostrils, ears, mouth and anus.
Bhagavata Purana states that the Linga i.e. external genitalia are formed in the
third month. Science has revealed that external genitalia are present in 8 week
s old embryo. According to science male genitalia take their final form at the en
d of the 3rd month and Utero-vaginal canal also forms by the third month. Anus i
s formed some time after the genitals.

Within four months from the date of conception, the seven essential ingredients
of the body, namely chyle, blood, flesh, fat, bone, marrow and semen, come into
existence. At the end of five months, hunger and thirst make themselves felt, an
d at the end of six months, the fetus, enclosed by the amnion, begins to move on
the right side of the abdomen.
In the 7th month the soul of embryo remembers everything about its past lives an
d also gets knowledge about the present life. Science cannot demonstrate this fa
ct, but it can be inferred indirectly. The foetus of 7th month is viable, so its
brain must be functioning in the 7th month.
Electro-encephalographic tracings of the foetus may prove this in future.

Kapil Muni describes that the foetus lies with complete flexion of its back and
head. It is a fact and is scientifically proved.
He also said that the foetus is unable to do respiration. This is also true, bec
ause the foetus lies in the amniotic fluid and requires no breathing. The foetus
gets oxygen and nourishment from the mother s blood.
Kapil Muni also says that in the 10th month the foetus is forced down by Prasoot
i Vayu, through the maternal passage.
During this process of delivery, the foetus gets lot of troubles and loses its p
ast memory.
Science cannot give any proof for the loss of memory, but we can assess it by th
e fact that during delivery foetal head is compressed to a great extent.
It may compress the brain, which in turn, may cause loss of memory. It is a prov
ed fact that compression and concussion of human brain causes loss of memory.
In 1972, Dr. H.P.Robinson of Glasgow University, showed using ultrasonic Doppler
technique, that the heart begins at about 12-14 weeks.
Bhagavata Purana states that two ears develop and gets knowledge of sound and di
rections. Two separate functions are attributed to the ears, clearly. It is prov
ed true during 1936 when Ross and Tait published their paper showing that the di
rections are recognized by the Labyrinth, situated in the Internal ears.
Aitereya Upanishad (1/1/4 and 1/2/4, written in 6000 BC) mentions the same fact.
The Bhagavata Purana gives microscopic details about the origin of a person (Pur
usha). It is narrated in a form of a story of He and She. (3/6/1-5)
He noticed that unless He and She unite, reproduction is not possible.
Therefore He conjugated with She. He entered into her 23 principles and brought
together all the 23 principles.
He stimulated her creative energy. Her 23 principles got activated, they conjuga
ted with his 23 principles and the combined energy of those 23 principles reprod
uced the person.
Modern science discovery has shown that 23 chromosomes of a sperm join with thos
e of an ovum and then an embryo forms.
Chromosomes are called as Gunawidhi in bhagavata purana and mahabharata because
they control Guna (characters) and Widhi (functions).
Ancient Indian sages revealed that Jeevatma(soul) is not perishable. At the time
of death, it leaves the physical body and goes to Bhuvarloka. Then it comes dow
n with rainwater, enters a food grain, goes in to a male and occupies a sperm.
With that sperm it enters the female and joins with an ovum to create an offspri
ng. The sperm on which rides Atman gets success to win an ovum.
During one coitus 200 to 300 millions of sperms are deposited in a female passag
e.
Out of them only one enters an ovum. Why that one only? Science says it is a cha
nce.
And why not a woman gets pregnant everytime she mates a man during her fruitful
days ?
Embryo is the first descent of a fraction of Aatma. That part of Aatma is named
as Praana.
Praana enters in and guides the sperm to enter an ovum.
So, only that single sperm which is driven by the child s soul will enter woman s wo
mb.
Vedic Astrology has proved that it can derive the date of pregnancy, gender of c
hild, date of delivery too, based on horoscopes of parents.
