How to conceive a boy in India: a five-legged cow and molten gold (5 photos)

Recently, an ancient text with a recipe for conceiving a boy was included in a new university textbook in India! Now students are taught that you need to take tree branches that face north. Or melt iron and gold into milk, and then you will definitely have a boy.





This man lets women touch his five-legged cow so that they will definitely have a boy. 2025.

What is this ancient text

It is included in the third year textbook of the Bachelor of Ayurveda, Medicine and Surgery at BAMS, which is designed to teach students how to conceive a boy. It directly states: One should find two branches of a banyan tree that face north and grow in a barn, take exactly two grains of urad dal (an Indian chickpea) and mustard seeds, mix all the ingredients with curd and drink the mixture.



This is what urad dal looks like

The text is copied from the Charaka Samhita, a 2nd century Ayurveda treatise. According to the textbook, the procedure for conceiving a male child is called "busanwan." And any woman who wants to have a boy must be "blessed with the busanwan ritual" once she becomes pregnant. But that's not all, the textbook is full of other useful methods for having a son.





In ancient times, India was a leader in medicine. It was.

One method, which is clearly intended for the wealthier classes, says: "Make two miniature statues of a person out of gold, silver, or iron, then throw them into a furnace. Pour this molten element into milk, curd or water and drink it at an auspicious hour of Pushp Nakshatra." Great, a pregnant woman can still drink molten gold. The thing is that the approach at the University is strictly scientific, as stated by the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences. The director of the institution was indignant at any questions: . "Doctors with a BAMS degree have a thriving practice not only in rural areas but also in cities like Mumbai, Pune and Nashik. Many people avoid official medicine in favor of Ayurveda, why not train specialists?"



In some regions there are many mutations (ecology, consanguineous marriages). And you can't help but wonder if it's because she drank molten gold?

Indeed, why? The authorities are aware of the textbook's contents and have found nothing seditious in it. Meanwhile, the recipe with molten metals in milk can even cause a miscarriage, as other, real Indian doctors claim.



Indian doctors in every medical school in the country

In that case, it's not surprising that India sends its students to study in other countries. If they teach like that at home, you have to somehow make do.
