Satnam,

I am writing to see if there are any particular paths a couple could do if they are pregnant? I like to pray for my babies healthiness, and good virtue etc. What does SGGS suggest?
thanks!

You can do an Akand Path or Sahej Path in honor of the baby. You can chant "Poota Mata Ki Assis." It is very important to have positive thoughts during the pregnancy. Mom and Dad should not argue...which upsets the baby more than anything. Babies like soothing music. Have kirtan playing all the time in the home...especially the above shabd. Mom's thoughts are especially important. She can totally change and direct the destiny of the soul inside her. If she is early in pregnancy, before the first 120 days, her prayers can attract the soul to her. If she is longer along than the 120th day, she can have an enormous effect on the destiny of the soul, with her projection and prayers. Pregnant women should not be under pressure or stress, so they can really concentrate on the growing baby inside them. Mom should be walking 4 miles a day and eating healthy, fresh foods. Of course, I am telling you the ideal. No one can do the absolute ideal. Don't stress about it...do your best and relax. No matter what happens, it's all Guru's will. Be grateful for whatever God gives you and rejoice. Blessings. GTKK
