It's about divine grace

Yoga is based on laws of nature. In nature for every aspect there exists an equal and opposite aspect.

Darkness is nothing but absence of light. Similarly, silence is absence of sound. It is only duality in nature, the coexistence of positive and negative that gives meaning to the existence of the whole. Ancient scriptures speak of the male energy Shiva, the doer, and a female energy, Shakti or force. Creation derives its energy from Shakti and without her Shiva is mere form. The same applies to all aspects of Creation. At the same time, Shakti without Shiva is just pure energy, which needs a vehicle to carry out desires. The complete evolution is therefore Ardhanareshwara, is the sacred union of Shiva and Parvati.

Vedic rishis saw the union between a man and woman not as gratification of lust or sensual desire but as a sacred union for the purpose of procreation. Vedic rishis set yogic techniques and sanatan kriya, which when followed can enable safe procreation. Parents often wish to decide everything about their child even before conception. They wish to fulfill their unfulfilled dreams through their children but these dreams cannot be fructified without Divine Grace. However, there are certain basic guidelines that can be followed for children of a particular pravriti.


In a day, energy patterns keep changing. Similarly, day-to-day patterns also keep changing. Every object of creation, all lokas or dimensions of existence and yugas or dimensions of time, as per revelation of ancient yogis, exist as energy forms. Movements of the earth changes the dimension of time, it lies tilted on its axis, when the axis tilts, yugas change as when it moves on the axis, the seasons change. Every movement from one dimension to the other brings about a change or transformation as every day comes with its unique energy patterns.


To better understand energy changes that occur daily we must first understand the concept of sandhya, that is, when one energy transforms to another. Vedic philosophy describes four types of sandhyas that occur on any given day. The first, brahma sandhya occurs an hour before and after sunrise. Positive forces are at their peak. Since this period is the best time for communion with higher energies, trying to conceive during these periods is encouraged as being conducive to good health and happiness.


As the day progresses, energies transform, positive energies go down while negative energy starts to rise, leading to the tantrik sandhya till the positive and negative forces are equal in strength. This sandhya is said to aid material gain, and a child conceived during this time is believed to be strong in the material aspect. At sunset energies change, giving rise to the third sandhya when negative energies are at their peak. However, practices like the sanatan kriya are done during this time to protect the child from the negative energies in the environment. The last and fourth sandhya occurs at midnight, when negative energies are going down and positive energies are going up. Interaction with the spirit world is very easy during this time. Children conceived during this time are believed to be level headed and with potentiality to interact with the world of ether.

However, at the end of it all if your child has Divine Grace, no matter the time or day of birth, there is nothing the child will not be able to achieve.
