Hi,
When do children begin learning? Before they go to school? Or only after they join a school? When is the right time to start grooming a child? Do we know what impacts a child’s development? Let us look at the story of Abhimanyu’s birth from the Mahabharata to take a cue on a child’s development process..
-------------------------------------------
When do children begin learning?
Abhimanyu was the son of Arjun and Subhadra, sister of Sri Krishna. He learnt his first lessons of war strategy and the secrets of a combat in a chakravyuha at the time when he was in his mother Sahara’s womb.
When Abhimanyu was in his mother’s womb, he heard a conversation between his mother and Sri Krishna. Sri Krishna was narrating her about chakravyuha and the step-by-step process of tackling it. As she fell asleep, Sri Krishna stopped his narrative halfway, and Abhimanyu could obtain the technique of breaking only some of the circles in the chakravyuha, but not all. As he grew up, he became a brave, handsome, young warrior. Many years later during the Mahabharata war at Kurukshetra, the Kauravas set up a chakravyuha. Abhimanyu could valiantly fight and break several circles in the chakravyuha with the knowledge he gained from what he heard when he was in his mother’s womb. He could tackle only those circles about which he heard when he was in his mother’s womb.

Recent scientific findings have also shown that babies can indeed hear from inside their mother. Children are the best observers and the keenest learners. It is important to know how the healthy mental growth of a child begins even before it is born, and it will continue to take its shape as the child takes birth and grows. The thoughts of a carrying mother, the love and care of the family shown towards her, and the whole ambience in a home will impact the child’s development. Let it take the right shape and grow to be a right citizen.
With love and regards,
Siva
