The birth charts of both partners are examined with keen attention to the 5 th house, the strength of Jupiter, planetary aspect as well as the existing Dasha periods to show whether the time and astrological combinations favor the birth of a child.
The couple takes a holy name, Sankalp that specifically outlines the wish of good conception, safe pregnancy, and elimination of planetary challenges touching the progeny-related blessings.
A favorable date and time are chosen on the basis of planetary transits, lunar phase and tithi when the time of the day is favorable to carry out the puja.
Unless specifically mentioned in the Vedas, Vedic mantras to bless the progeny are recited with proper pronunciation and discipline, which is then followed by a holy havan ceremony to cleanse the malevolent forces and maximize the good ones.
Pujas end with Purnahuti and touching prayers to have a good pregnancy and mere spiritual advice to stay on the positive side, in faith and emotional stability throughout the process of having a child.
