Brihaspathi smruthi for Pregnant women:
Deva guru Brihaspathi compiled some rules that have to be followed during pregnancy. These are called Brihaspathi smruthis. Besides Brihaspathi, Sukhracharya also compiled them.
According to these smruthis, pregnant women must not go to temples. The reason behind this is temples have a large amount of unseen supernatural power of the presiding deity. Normal human beings can bear this power wheras, the foetus or the baby in the womb in the womb cannot bear this power. This power would retard the growth of the baby and sometimes destroys the delicate organs of the baby. Besides this, straining the mother’s body would effect the baby in the womb.
