Pregnancy is like a wonderful adventure full of dreams and happiness. It’s when a woman’s body takes care of a new life growing inside her. But sometimes, it can feel a little bit scary too.
To find peace and ensure a safe pregnancy and childbirth, people have turned to mantras and slokas for centuries. Mantras are powerful words or phrases chanted to create positive energy and invoke divine blessings. Slokas, on the other hand, are sacred verses from ancient texts, often accompanied by rituals.
Here are some mantras and slokas that can help you have a blissful pregnancy and a safe delivery:
