Multiple Intelligence- 'In the womb sharing'

How was Abhimanyu, a war hero of Mahabharata taught in womb?

Is it a myth or a scientific procedure?

Yes! Parents can teach their children multiple intelligence when the kids are already in the womb. In this essay lets understand the phenomena behind this kind of parental sharing.

The very ideology to relate sensory perception to the external apparatus of senses or the sense organs is absurd. We receive physical stimulus through the apparatus which are meant for reception of this stimulus and carry out a slightly more complex process of transduction. Somewhere in the pathway of the physical stimulus been transmitted to the area of the brain where it is processed, the stimulus is converted from physical to electrical stimulus; this process is called as transduction.

The argument in this essay is to through some light on the ability of human brain to perceive the external physical stimulus in absence or disability of the external sensory apparatus. The neurocognitive perspective of perception emphasizes on the phenomena of perception occurring in some pre-determined area of brain. That is to say if a person hears some sound by his ears he actually perceives it only at the auditory area on the temporal side of the brain. This has a lot to do with the person who does not bear the external auditory organ i.e. ear.

Napoleon Hill, a independent researcher in the area of thought dynamics in his book Think and Grow Rich explains of his own son born deaf, deficient in external ear who later in his boyhood started perceiving sound and went on  to become a brand ambassador of reputed company manufacturing hearing aid. Not to quote how Swami Vivekananda explicitly explains this phenomena in his Complete Works.

To the parents bearing doubt of how could womb talk work before the development of the sense organs in the fetus dwelling in the womb, this is a rational explanation. When a fetus is developing in the womb, the words uttered by the parent reach the brain area of the fetus irrespective of the external organ under development. You can try this analogy: A blind man can perceive the shape, texture and the structure of an object not through his eyes but though his other senses. Likewise when all senses are yet to develop skin works as a carrier in the fetus. This is how your words are transmitted and transducted to the auditory area of your baby in the womb before it has developed its ears! 

Aptitude Test and Career Guidance

Every student has a definite set of competencies and specific interests. Moreover these competencies and interests are the expression of the underlying personality of that student. While selection of any professional course work after the higher secondary school examination is a serious and cumbersome task for the students. In this direction it is very important for one to understand the abilities one possess and the his/her field of interest. And not to mention here the desire or the ambition of the student as to what he wants to be in future is a vital consideration. 

As the matter of fact one must combine all these facets of the student in selection of the career. To mention here the key abilities are:                        

          

• Verbal Ability
• Numerical Ability
• Closure Ability
• Spatial Ability
• Mechanical Ability
• Clerical Ability
• Reasoning Ability 
• Psycho-motor ability

In a standard Aptitude test all these abilities of the individual are evaluated. After that the Personality, Interests, Occupational Environment and Ambition of the student is to be considered for a comprehensive career advice.

The scientific evaluation is done by a group of experts and then a post evaluation counseling session is to be taken. This a standard procedure of career guidance.

Brainberg Clinics and Consulting recently conducted some programs for the students of class IX to class XII as a part of their outdoor activity at Nanded and Nasik district. This event was attended by large number of students and parents and maximum aptitude tests were conducted. At Nanded, the center of  counseling was Vithai Hospital, and at Nasik Upadhye Classes was the center for these events of Brainberg. 

Pregnancy Care

When a couple plans to evolve as parents and start 'thinking' about child that is the time when the 'baby' is conceived at psychological level. Parent's psychology and their surrounding greatly decide the 'Personality' of the unborn baby.

In our mythology it is been explained aptly in Sanskrit as 'Putra-Kamesthee- Yagya'. Where Putra is Child, Kamesthi is Wish (desire) and Yagya is a special procedure. 'Vision' that the parent's keep for their baby help in designing its personality.

This is what in terms of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and special sessions are taught to the parents when they visit Brainberg.

Also child receives essential nutrition from mother through placenta and umbilical cord. Transformation of embryo to fetus is very fast and magical evolutionary process, during which developing baby needs variable nutrients. If the baby's developmental need is proteins, then the mother feels the 'urge' to eat more protein rich food. It is called 'Dohale' in Sanskrit meaning Do-Hrud, i.e. 'Two-Hearts'.

Baby in the womb develops nicely when parents/family members welcome it & rejoice in its arrival. The baby senses the emotions in the womb. Practically this can be communicated to the baby through 'Womb Talk'

Womb Talk can be practiced by mother after getting trained under the guidance of an expert. At Brainberg we are engaged in such training sessions for pregnant women. It helps the pregnant women to overcome the challenges like mal-position of the fetus to Vertex (normal) position to facilitate safe delivery.

Vertical Growth of Intelligence- Dr.Ruta Sawarkar & Dr.Vishal Sangale

                                                                                                              Abstract

( Paper on Vertical Intelligence at 38th NACIACP, 2012,Pune,India)

In reframing our understanding of intelligence the current study focuses on gaining insights on ‘Vertical’ growth of Intelligence. The study postulates seven different states of intellect i.e. Buddhi, Medha, Dhruti, Smruti, Pradnya, Pratibha and Rutumbhara based on indigenous knowledge acquired through thoroughly researched texts of Upanishads, Vedas and Scriptural writings of Brahmarishi Priyottamananda. The scope of the research primarily focuses on the existence of seven states of intellect and not its assessment. Thus by the scriptural evidences we conclude that the intelligence exists in seven states which grows vertically from lower to higher order of succession. We also observed that the modern theories of Intelligence do not contradict with this hypothesis but aid to its construct. However, this ancient theory of intelligence aids the growth of the individual in the realms of spirituality with the grace and guidance of Satguru (Spiritual Master). The pre-requisites of such growth is the possession of Bhava (strong Emotional Intelligence) and Bodha (strong Cognition). Through this the intelligence grows from average intellect i.e. Buddhi to Rutumbhara i.e. highest intellect.
