3rd Month Pregnancy Blessing: The Punsavana Sanskara
You are three months along, and the family wants to bless the baby the traditional way.
The first months of a pregnancy are delicate. You want the baby and the mother protected, and you want to keep the rite your family has always kept. It is care for a child you have not met yet.
The classical texts on muhurta shastra place this blessing in the third month, and they ask for a good day and hour inside it. The month does not come round again, so the choice matters. We read those rules for the city where you live, so the day fits your sky and your clock.
What you get
The good windows in your third month, for your city, on your local clock, ranked. The days to avoid, each with its reason. The verse behind every window.
What we need
The mother's birth date, time and place, your city, and the dates of your third month.
Punsavana is the second of the sixteen sanskars. It is a blessing for the unborn child and the mother, done in the third month of pregnancy. The muhurat picks the day and hour inside that month.
Testimonials
My mother in law arrived with a date and no reason for it, which is how every date in this house has arrived for four years. This time I had the reason written out, so the rite happened on mine, and I have not had to win that argument a second time.
