Introduction
Spirituality offers a holistic approach to fertility, emphasizing the purification of the mind, the balancing of bodily energies, and the invocation of divine grace. Through specific Mantras, Vrats (fasts), and Pujas, devotees seek to remove karmic obstacles and align themselves with the creative forces of the universe. It is essential to approach these practices with Shraddha (faith) and Saburi (patience), recognizing that while spiritual effort is vital, it works in harmony with physical well-being and medical science.
