Abstract

Every individual spends the first nine months of his life within the womb (uterus) of its mother. During this period, it develops from a one celled structure to an organism having billions of cells. The most spectacular of these changes are in the first two months: the unborn baby acquires its main organs and just begins to be recognizable as human. During these two months, we call the developing individual, an embryo. Ayurveda has its own axiom of embryogeny discussed here.

Keywords: Embryo, Garbha, Shukra, Shonita, Garbhavakranti.
