This course is the second one from the 'Garbh Sangeet' courses. ‘Garbh Sangeet’ courses are specially created for mothers-to-be. These courses bring a collection of songs and Ragas for learning along with more music that is best suited for listening during the prenatal time.  

'Garbh Sangeet’ is an integral part of ‘Garbh Sanskar’- a holistic system of care prescribed by ancient Indian practices for the mother-to-be. The environment surrounding the mother is said to have an important influence on the development of the child. Music plays an important role in creating a positive environment that nurtures the mother and the child. 

Music is one of the most valuable gifts of nature to humans. The musical sound is called Nada, the primordial sound of creation. Nada manifests itself in the form of Swaras and flows as energy of positive vibrations possessing the qualities to nurture life.

This course focuses on learning Indian Ragas that have been proven to provide physical, mental, and spiritual comfort to a carrying mother and her child. 

This course includes compositions based on selected themes and Ragas along with listening material.
