Garbh Sanskar mantras for pregnancy

Pregnancy mantras for Garbh Sanskar: Om, Gayatri, Santan Gopal, Mahamrityunjaya and Shanti mantras in Devanagari with transliteration, meaning and when to chant.

• Om (ॐ)

  ॐ

  The primordial sound. Chanting it slowly lengthens the exhale and settles the mind.

• Gayatri Mantra

  ॐ भूर्भुवः स्वः । तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं । भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि । धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात् ॥

  We meditate on the radiant light of the divine sun; may it inspire and illuminate our minds.

• Santan Gopal Mantra

  ॐ देवकीसुत गोविन्द वासुदेव जगत्पते । देहि मे तनयं कृष्ण त्वामहं शरणं गतः ॥

  O Govinda, son of Devaki, Lord of the world — grant me a child, Krishna; I take refuge in you.

• Mahamrityunjaya Mantra

  ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम् । उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय मामृतात् ॥

  We worship the three-eyed one, fragrant, who nourishes all. May we be freed from fear and bondage, as a ripe fruit falls easily from the vine.

• Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah (Shanti Mantra)

  ॐ सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः । सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः । सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु । मा कश्चिद्दुःखभाग्भवेत् ॥ ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥

  May all be happy, may all be free from illness, may all see goodness, may no one suffer. Peace, peace, peace.
