Do you know?
According to Hindu scriptures Brahmarandhra is a tender spot on top of the head when a child is born.The bone does not form in this spot untill the child grows to a certain age.
Randhra is a Sanskrit word, but it is in common usage in other Indian languages too.
Randhra means a passage, like a small hole or a tunnel. This is the space in the body through which life descends into the fetus.
There are many medical cases where stillbirth happens though by all medical parameters, the fetus is healthy and everything is fine.
This is simply because the life within is still choosing. If a being enters into a fetus and finds it unsuitable as it evolves to become a baby, it leaves. That is why one door is kept open.
This is the reason why in Indian culture, so many precautions were taken to create a different kind of atmosphere around a pregnant woman. We are giving that up nowadays, but this used to be done hoping that something better than who you are comes into your womb.
So a pregnant woman used to be kept in a certain state of comfort and wellbeing. With the right kind of incense, sounds and foods, everything was done so that her body is in a state that it welcomes the right kind of being.
