Birth of a goat

May 26, 2005

Dear Raj kumar avargale,

That was not exactly a Gomatha or a calf but a goat's kid birth! But Thankyou for your immidieate appreciation and seeing small details in my posting. I see every small detail in my posting when I post including the images to give a right ambience and aesthetic pleasure when reading.

Here are a few additional photos. I just put that there to just complement with Purusha suktha which says about goats being born from the Purusha element.

(I put this photo..shirodaya(the rise of head) in the posting)

Baby goats (like horses, lambs and cows) are born in a "diving" position. This is the most normal and most likely presentation of the baby during birth. There is never any need to interfere with a birth that is going normally.Birth is not the place to exercise "heroic" intervention of any kind

The baby will immediately begin to breath and look around as mother licks him dry and welcomes his arrival. Just before the placenta is birthed, there will be a normal gush of blood - called a "placental gush". That is the bleeding that takes place just as the placenta disadheres from the uterine wall. This same thing occurs in humans too.

This then is the birth of a 'Meshamatha'(Mesha in sanskrit means goat) not Gomatha as you put it. However this too is divine. Even goats are divine not just cows as per Indian tradition. I see my mother Rajarjeshwari in this too.

Wish I could be born to Her like this!(My deepest desire remember?)

Sarvantharyamini,

Sarvamriganivasini,

Sarvamangala!

At this Holy instant,

Subodha.
