Noida/Gurgaon: On a day the country cheered with greetings of ‘Jai Shri Ram’, Krishna Yadav of Ghaziabad welcomed a baby ‘Ram’ home.
Krishna and her husband had planned this for long. They were among many expecting couples across NCR who had requested their doctors to time the deliveries in such a way that they coincided with the consecration ceremony in Ayodhya on January 22.
“I have twin reasons for celebrating this day. First, I have been blessed with a baby boy. And what better than a day when the whole nation is celebrating? We had requested our doctor if we could plan our delivery like this. It’s only after she agreed that we went ahead,” said Krishna, who named her son ‘Ram’, minutes after he was born around noon — the ‘most auspicious hour’.
Dr Shivangini Sahay of Sharda Hospital, who performed the C-section on Krishna, said everyone celebrated the ‘muhurat’.
“Becoming parents is anyway a moment of celebration for couples. Our entire department and labour room were filled with joy when Krishna delivered the baby,” she told TOI.
Doctors across hospitals said ‘Ram’ and ‘Sita’ were the most common names given to babies. But this couple at Sharda Hospital, who requested not be identified, had another name in mind for their son — Narendra.
“Our Prime Minister has given the nation what was long due. The name I chose for my son is a tribute to the leader,” the father said.
Risbhabh Gupta, the Sharda vice-president, distributed about 20kg of sweets among patients, their relatives and the hospital staff.
At Fortis La-Femme, two C-sections were performed during the day. One of the babies was a boy and the other a girl.
“Our guruji had told us January 22 was an auspicious day because of the consecration ceremony in Ayodhya. So, we requested our doctors to schedule the delivery for Monday, if possible. We told her specifically anything around 11.30am would be the most auspicious,” the baby boy’s father said.
The community health care centre in Bhangel had five deliveries during the day — two girls and three boys. While two deliveries were normal, three were caesarean.
“The muhurat deliveries were special for the families. There was a sense of excitement among the doctors as well,” said Dr Yatendra Singh, the chief medical superintendent who distributed 10kg of ladoos among the patients and hospital staff.
At Manipal Hospital in Gurgaon, there were four C-section deliveries between 11.45am and 12.45pm. Doctors said three boys and one girl were born in ‘auspicious times’ decided by family astrologers.
“We believe an auspicious birth time influences the baby’s personality,” said Prakash Dev of Palam Vihar, who had a son. They named him ‘Param’, another name for Ram.
