GEETA AND NAMASMARAN: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

There are many interpretations of the 5th and 6th shlokas in 6th chapter of Geeta.

More often than not these shlokas are �used� to emphasize and prove �individual supremacy� and refute the subtler insights, perceptions and experiences; of true self (guru, god, almighty, absolute truth, super consciousness, cosmic consciousness).

This fact appears innocuous.

But such hype of individual supremacy unleashes the barbaric elements within us; and leads to self aggrandizement and megalomaniac behavior that disrupts and destroys the unity and the harmony inside us and also in the society.

As a result of this understanding; I used to think that the shlokas imply presence of higher self and lower self. Higher self being friend and lower being foe.

But the next question would arise if higher self is friend; then whose friend is it; itself, lower self, or both? If lower self is foe; then whose foe is it; itself, higher self or both?
Dnyaneshvari seems to explain this is with perfect clarity and pragmatism.

The state of remembering oneself is friendly (benevolent to one and all) and the state of forgetfulness is inimical (disruptive and destructive to all). The state of self remembrance; is friendly (embodies individual and universal blossoming, holistic renaissance, unity and harmony and profundity and prosperity) and the state of self forgetfulness; is fiercely inimical (embodies individual and universal degeneration, disease, decay and death, holistic retrogression, disunity, disharmony, pettiness and poverty).

If and as we �see� this subtle reality; we would �see� the universal benevolence of NAMASMARAN (the state of self remembrance) and rise from our slumber, lethargy, indolence, irresponsibility on the one hand and meanness, insecurity, agitation and petty selfish obsessions (the state of NAMAVISMARAN i.e. self forgetfulness). We would then; not only practice NAMASMARAN with topmost priority; but try to share its holistic benevolence with maximum people.

Infertility is termed as failure to conceive after months of trying for pregnancy without the use of any contraceptives. When you are diagnosed with infertility then the first thing you need to find out is the reason behind this infertility. IVF treatment is pursued once other treatments have failed to achieve pregnancy. Starting IVF treatment can be an exciting but nerve wracking experience. IVF treatment is the very first treatment tried when an egg donor is being used, there are severe cases of male infertility or a woman's fallopian tubes are blocked.

IVF treatment is often successful, though, it may take more than one try. Studies show that the potential for success with IVF treatment is the same for up to four cycles. IVF treatment is quite stressful. Just looking over the schedule of ultrasounds, blood work, injections and so on can make you feel fragile. Even the fertility drugs may change your moods.

Infertility and IVF can be pretty stressful and at times you may feel sad and worried; you and your partner may even struggle in your relationship together.

Following question and answers will help you to easily manage your IVF treatment.

What is the history and success of IVF?

The first successful IVF pregnancy in the world occurred in England in 1978 by Doctors Step toe and Edwards. Now, almost thirty years later, IVF is accepted as a standard treatment and in many cases as a first-line treatment for infertility, resulting in the birth of more than one million babies worldwide.

Is IVF treatment required for you?

IVF is recommended for women with blocked tubes or missing fallopian tubes and it is the best treatment available. It is also used when other conditions are present, including endometriosis, male factor infertility and unexplained infertility in which no medical cause for infertility can be found.

What is the age limit for women to undergo IVF treatment?

Successful pregnancy outcome with treatment is largely related to female age, particularly when using the woman's own eggs. Most clinics have a certain upper age limit after which they will not perform in vitro fertilization (IVF) with the woman's own eggs. The age limit for ivf treatment is somewhere between 42 and 45 in most programs. When donor eggs are being used, the age of the egg donor is the important issue. With egg donation, the age of the recipient does not seem to affect the chances of success. There are instances of pregnancy with the age above 60 also.

What�s involved in IVF?

IVF is a complex procedure. That is why prior to undergoing IVF treatment, patients have an IVF orientation with their physician who will fully explain the IVF process, including pre-IVF investigations and processes. All IVF patients will receive instructions on the proper timing and administration of the fertility medications involved in the IVF treatment cycle.

Whether to transfer one embryo or more than that?

It is in the hands of the patients to decide how many embryos to transfer. It cannot be ensured that each embryo transfer will become a baby. One easy way of improving the chances of achieving a pregnancy in an IVF cycle is by transferring more embryos. However the risk of having a multiple pregnancy also increases with more embryos transferred. Normally the number of embryos to be transferred should be decided based on patients age and how many times they have tried IVF previously. If you are under 35 and have never tried IVF before, then transfer of 2 embryos is suggested.

How can you improve the chances of IVF Treatment?

If a success is required in an ivf cycle one should avoid alcohol and tobacco, medications, lose weight and maintain BMI, avoid caffeine or control its consumption, follow balanced diet and take folic acid supplements. IVF treatment should be started early as the age plays an important role.

When to go for pregnancy test after IVF Treatment?

About two weeks after embryo transfer blood test is carried out to find whether the treatment has worked. If the test is positive, first pregnancy scan is taken two weeks later. If the test is negative, you need to talk to your doctor and decide whether to try the treatment again.

How long should one wait after failure of IVF Cycle?

Medically, you can usually start up again immediately in your next cycle. Many clinics advise to take break for 2 or 3 months.

Is hospitalization required in IVF procedure?

A patient undergoing IVF does not require admission in the hospital. The patient has to visit the center 3-5 times during monitoring cycle. On the day of egg collection Patients can go home after the effect of anesthesia weans off which takes about 2-3 hours. After the embryo transfer, which again takes about half an hour patients are free to go home after resting for one hour.

Is in vitro fertilization treatment expensive?

This price will vary depending on where you live, the amount of medications you're required to take, the number of IVF cycles you undergo, and the amount your insurance company will pay toward the procedure. Compared to the UK and USA, IVF treatment is much economical in India, and the quality of the treatment is excellent. This is because doctor�s charge very less as compared to the developed western countries. As per international standards, IVF in India is very cost-effective and more and more foreigners are travelling to India for availing ivf treatment.

Studies show that the potential for success with IVF treatment is the same for up to four cycles. Generally, the live birth rate for each IVF cycle is 30 to 35% for women under age 35, 25% for women between the ages of 35 and 37, 15 to 20% for women between the ages of 38 and 40 and 6 to 10% for women after age 40. (When an egg donor is used, however, success rates remain high even at age 40, with a 45% success rate.)

Infertile couples face an overwhelming situation when they begin the process of creating or adding to their family. It is at this time that they start looking out for fertility specialists or fertility clinics that will help them to achieve parenthood in the difficult journey of infertility.

Fertility clinics are staffed medical clinics that assist couples, and sometimes individuals, who want to become parents but for medical reasons have been unable to achieve this goal via the natural course. Clinics apply a number of diagnosis tests and sometimes very advanced medical treatments to obtain the desired conceptions and pregnancies.

Fertility clinics are staffed with highly trained personnel including Reproductive Endocrinologists, Embryologists, Sonographers, and Nurses. Additional specialists from Acupuncture, Hypnotherapy, and Nutrition may also be part of the team.

Fertility Clinics look to both males and females for diagnosis of fertility problems. Treatment may include ovulation induction, surgical interventions, intrauterine insemination, in vitro fertilization, the use of an egg donor or a sperm donor or surrogacy treatments and the availability of surrogate mother.In vitro fertilisation is the most well known of the assisted reproductive technology procedures performed at a fertility clinic.

When a couple is trying to conceive without using any contraceptives for more than a year without success, it may be time to make an appointment with a fertility specialist for an evaluation. The first question that comes to mind is how to select a doctor or a fertility clinic? Normally a couple takes the help of friends, relatives, other infertile couple who has taken treatment previously, Internet, Yellow Pages and more simple way is to find out on their own by doing some exercise like finding out the doctor�s qualification, training, skills and most important his/her experience in field of fertility treatment.

One must also see the timing of the institute, their professionalism, appointment on time, their progress, management, last but not the least their fees structure. Once you decide about the doctor, a proper counseling, investigation has to be done to check the cause of infertility. Knowing the exact cause can set you on the right path of treatment.

Advanced reproductive technology (such as IVF treatment) can be expensive, can involve strong drugs or hormones and can be an emotional roller coaster. When it comes to choosing a clinic, do thorough research ahead of time. Also, ask a lot of questions of every fertility clinic you're considering.

Following are few suggestions or guidelines one must take into account while selecting fertility specialist or fertility clinic.
1.

How long has the medical director been there working with the clinic? How long have the doctors and technicians been there? High staff turnover can be a big red flag for many reasons. It can mean bad management from a practice perspective, which can contribute to mistakes that can make or break your cycle. Carefully gather all the details about the concerned doctor. Know about educational background and his or her experience in the field. Personal meeting with the fertility expert will help you judge a doctor's personality and establish an equation of trust and comfort which is essential in the personal & intimidating process that one has to undergo at the clinic.

2.

Success rate: success rate of fertility center is a major part to consider that centre for treatment.

3.

Institute where couple wants to take treatment should be easy to locate and how easily it will fit into your life. The clinic near to your residence will save time and cost in travelling.

4.

Use of advanced technologies and latest research discoveries can work wonders for certain case files. Be sure the clinic has a wide range of infertility remedies available and is familiar with the latest technology. Know whether the fertility clinic has its own IVF laboratory and other facilities like blood, urine tests and ultrasound scans.

5.

Is there any age limits for treatment? If so, it's a sign that the clinic is concerned about ethical issues. Ideally, each clinic should treat its patients on a case-by-case basis instead of approaching patients on the general termed basis.

6.

Discuss with clinic about the cost of treatment. Do they offer money-back guarantee? Are they part of shared risk program? If you don't get pregnant - the doctor may have a financial incentive to treat you more aggressively than you want. It�s important that you know the costs ahead of time so that there are no surprises along the way. Ask for a printed cost sheet that details every single procedure outlined, from donor egg retrieval through the transfer of embryos into the patient�s uterus. Don�t forget to ask about ultrasound costs, lab costs, extra office visits, and the cost of after-hours calls if needed. Beware of clinics that offer a money-back guarantee if you don't get pregnant - the doctor may have a financial incentive to treat you more aggressively than you want.

7.

Know how does clinic communicates with their patients. Is it primarily by telephone or e-mail? Will patients have access to doctor�s e-mail address or mobile no.? In case of emergency does clinic provide 24X7 emergency services? Know whether clinic offers online consultation to the national and international patients. Can treatment procedures be done on weekends? Is the clinic open every day including weekends and bank holidays?

8.

If you call the clinic and they say they're too busy to answer your questions, try elsewhere. They may not have time for your questions once you're a registered patient, either.

9.

The important point to remember is to inquire whether fertility centre has the facility of providing egg donor and whether they have the sperm bank. It is important to ask whether a clinic has any freezing and storage facilities so that any spare embryos collected can be used in any possible further treatments that may be needed in the future. Find out how many embryos will be transferred at a time into the uterus. Transfer of more than two or three embryos will increase the risk of multiple births.

10.

Inquire with the clinic about other resources they may provide, including counseling or support groups, acupuncture, and other non-medical support.

Keep in mind that clinic which has higher IVF cost and success rate is the only one catering quality treatment; instead clinic which is well organized and has expert doctors and medical facilities is the better one. You should also consider the feeling and experience you have with the clinic. The physician should be kind, caring and compassionate and must be willing to be part in your journey. So, IVF clinics must be the ones, which, not only assures you of efficiency but it does gets shown in the action as well.

Embryo adoption is the newest method of family-building, which combines assisted reproductive technology with adoption,so that instead of adopting a baby,infertile couples adopt an embryo.

What is embryo adoption?

Embryo adoption is the newest method of family-building,which combines assisted reproductive technology with adoption,so that instead of adopting a baby,infertile couples adopt an embryo.

Welcome to an assisted reproduction technique that is fast gaining popularity in a world where fewer children are available for donation,and adoption norms are getting more stringent.Not surprisingly,this method is called embryo adoption or embryo donation,depending on which side one looks at it from.

With availability of better infertility treatment techniques, embryo adoption/donation is becoming popular of late across the world.In the US alone,where embryo adoption is about a decade old, over 1,000 babies have been born using this method.

"Adopting an embryo allows a woman,who is infertile, to experience motherhood,complete with labour pains, as against rearing an adopted child," says another infertility expert.

Today being a single mother or father without a fancy income, it is impossible to adopt child now a days,when most part of the world have made very strict and stringent terms and condition for adoption.

What does egg and embryo donation involve?what is the embryo donation process?

Egg and embryo donation are types of fertility treatment used to help couples to conceive.

Egg donation is when eggs from a donor are fertilised with your partner�s sperm in a laboratory dish. The resulting embryos are then transferred to your uterus (womb).

Embryo donation is an option if you and your partner require both egg and sperm donation, or if you are a single woman who cannot use your own eggs. Embryos are usually donated by couples who have successfully had their baby or babies from IVF and who want to help other couples.

Advantages of Donor Egg or embryo Adoption IVF Treatment

The advantages of donor egg IVF are simply its high chances of success. In fact, donor egg IVF has� a much higher success rate when compared to IVF with non-donor. It is the age of the egg that seems to matter more than the womb in which it is planted. By receiving the egg, the recipient replicates in her body the donor�s fertility condition.

Donor Egg IVF in India

India has the advanced infrastructure and qualified fertility specialists required for donor egg IVF treatment. It�s the low cost of donor egg IVF in India that has made it a favorite with couples looking to have babies. India�s medical tourism industry is growing by leaps and bounds because of the quality medical care it offers at unbelievable prices.

Please do keep in mind that donor eggs available in India are only of Indian ethnicity. But people from overseas visiting India for surrogacy or egg donor IVF can always bring an egg donor with them from their country of origin.

Donor egg IVF in India has brought sunshine into the homes of many a childless couple. So go ahead and get some sunshine for yourself!

Thus Embryo Adoption is simply the adoption of frozen embryos donated by another couple.These embryos are frozen and are a source of hope for others who want to add children to their family. There are now more than 600,000 embryos in frozen storage in the United States: a 54% increase over the previous census in 2002. More couples are choosing to donate embryos. Embryo adoption is a viable and affordable adoption choice.

The process of embryo adoption is suitable for following prospective intended parents.

1. Couples and singles who are per-disposed to adoption as a way of bringing a family�s love to a child in need.
2. Couples who are infertile.
3. Concerned couple is at a high risk of passing on genetic disorders to offspring.
4. Had recurrent IVF failures.
5. If You are looking for an alternative to fertility treatments such as IVF or donor egg recipient IVF.
6. ARE unable to afford IVF or other methods of treatment.
7. Unable to carry to term full pregnancy.
8. Those who do not wish to go through the expensive and emotionally exhausting process of adopting a newborn.

Now couples can fulfill their desire for a family, give birth to the very child they adopted as a tiny, frozen embryo and ensure that a precious life is preserved at the same time.

Is surrogacy different from embryo adoption and donation?

Yes, in surrogacy, an agreement is made for embryos to be transferred into a woman�s uterus, and she carries the pregnancy for the benefit of the infertile couple. The intended parents or the infertile couples are specifically making embryos in vitro for placement into the surrogate using either their own genetics or purchases donor genetics.Compare that to embryo adoption and donation, where the adopting mother herself carries the child or children. The placing couple relinquishes their rights to any children born from the embryos prior to the transfer of those embryos into the adoptive mother�s womb. The
child that the adopting mother carries and gives birth to is the child that she and the adopting father will parent. In simple words in surrogacy, a woman carries a pregnancy for the benefit of the infertile couple. In embryo adoption, the child that the couple carries is the child that they will parent.

Why is this called adoption?

Firstly, like traditional adoption, the couple who adopts the embryo has no genetic connection to it. In addition, embryo donation offers an altruistic use for surplus embryos, just like adoption meets the needs of both the adoptive family, and the unwanted child.

Embryo adoption is an alternative for infertile couples who need egg or sperm donation.The best results with embryo adoptions are with fresh embryo adoptions, which are done with a Donor Egg IVF Program. Embryo adoption offers the unique opportunity to be pregnant, to bond with their child prior to birth, and to give birth. In addition, embryo adoption may be much more affordable than traditional adoption in the countries like the US. Also in India, certain groups such as Christians and Muslims cannot adopt. Embryo adoption can be an extremely attractive option for them. Embryo adoption is an alternative for infertile couples who need egg or sperm donation.

At Rotunda Clinic in India, we handle embryo donation like a closed adoption. There is absolutely no contact between the donor couple and the recipients, who never see each other. The recipient couple does not even need to inform their obstetrician that they achieved their pregnancy through embryo adoption! Unlike traditional adoption, the couple does not have to go through a legal process to adopt, but do so through medical treatment.

All Appointments are scheduled according to your convenience at Rotunda Fertility clinic,Embryo Adoption Clinics.

DESIRE, CONFUSION AND NAMASMARAN: DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Once upon a time a man who traveled in jungle. On the way he met with some people expert in magic.

They captured his wife and shunned him. Through magic they changed her appearance and made her look like the other ladies in their group.

The person stayed outside the boundary of their locality and everyday kept on urging them to free his wife. Ultimately they had mercy and said; they would release her immediately; but the only if he could identify her!

He thanked them profusely; as that seemed quite easy!

But to his surprise; when he called her loudly with her name there were hundreds of ladies looking exactly like his wife and he was unable to identify her. Each time he thought he identified her; she would turn out to be someone else! He would be proved wrong and be miserable.

This went on for years!

At the end he consulted a wise man.

The wise man asked him to pretend to kill his son in front of the ladies looking like his wife; who would gather and confuse him!

When he did so suddenly his wife rushed to prevent him; thus was instantly identified and was immediately freed.

Our innate desire of self realization; is lost amongst the petty desires and cannot be easily isolated! Hence we are perennially lost in the petty desires and remain confused and unsatisfied.

The saints ask us to practice NAMASMARAN, which begins the process of identification of our own innate desire and its fulfillment; which is like the �our reunion with our most beloved wife�!
