Pearls of Wisdom - 61


Process of birth (Explained by Lord Kapila):

The Personality of Godhead said: Under the supervision of the Supreme Lord and according to the result of his work, the living entity, the soul, is made to enter the womb of a woman through the particle of male semen to assume a particular type of body.

On the first night, the sperm and ovum mix, and on the fifth night the mixture ferments into a bubble. On the tenth night it develops into a form like a plum, and after that, it gradually turns into a lump of flesh or an egg, as the case may be.

(To be continued...)

Srimad Bhagavatam - Canto 3 Chapter 31 Verses 1-2
