  • Thanks pr jis for ur replies. I hv read this sanskar in detail in sanskar book n also consulted my counsler but i hvn't got any reference of kartik maas any where. So i was confused.....since this month is a important month among vaisnvas and is a month of austerity.
    • Yes that is why I replied there is no sastric  restriction based on month. But if one is doubtful or feel guilty then they can ignore that month . But nothing to fear.

      It is good if one gets mercy of siddha vaishnavas to have a devotee child. Also chanting 64 rounds on the day is recommended and maximum rounds the prior week with good consciousness.

  • Yes certainly it can. There is no restriction based on month. But please ignore on festival days and ekadashi days. You can buy the book Samskaras found in many Iskcon book stalls.

  • Hariii bool.

    Rig Veda mentions a rigorous routine to be followed by the mother in order to perform the garbhādhāna-saṁskāra.

    Is targeted to improve the intellectual,emotional and spiritual quotient of unborn child .

    In purport on S.B .4.22.53 of srila Prabhupada we can see importance of that samskara :     

    Purport: 

    As a householder, Pṛthu Mahārāja had five sons by his wife, Arci, and all these sons were begotten as he desired them. They were not born whimsically or by accident. How one can beget children according to one’s own desire is practically unknown in the present age, Kali-yuga. In this regard the secret of success depends on the parents’ acceptance of the various purificatory methods known as saṁskāras. The first saṁskāra, the garbhādhāna-saṁskāra, or child-begetting saṁskāra, is compulsory, especially for the higher castes, the brāhmaṇas and thekṣatriyas. As stated in Bhagavad-gītā, sex life which is not against religious principles is Kṛṣṇa Himself, and according to religious principles, when one wants to beget a child he must perform the garbhādhāna-saṁskāra before having sex. The mental state of the father and mother before sex will certainly affect the mentality of the child to be begotten. A child who is begotten out of lust may not turn out as the parents desire. As stated in the śāstras, yathā yonir yathā bījam. Yathā yoniḥ indicates the mother, and yathā bījam indicates the father. If the mental state of the parents is prepared before they have sex, the child which they will beget will certainly reflect their mental condition. It is therefore understood by the words ātma-sammatān that both Pṛthu Mahārāja and Arci underwent the garbhādhāna purificatory process before begetting children, and thus they begot all their sons according to their desires and purified mental states. Pṛthu Mahārāja did not beget his children out of lust, nor was he attracted to his wife for sense gratificatory purposes. He begot the children as a gṛhastha for the future administration of his government all over the world.

    - But before yo do it i suggest you to consult your Guru or qualified brahmana for that samskara .
