Viccithra Janana - Unusual birth

In our ancient text there are a number of examples where the birth had not occurred in the normal biological way.

Some of the examples that come readily to mind are:

101 Kaurava, Pandava, Karna, Gatothkacha, Vedavyasa, Agastya, Karthikeya, Sita, Kusha, Draupadi, Drishtadyumna, Sagara putra and others.

If we dwell into the details of their birth we come across interesting and detailed process of their birth which finds parallel in the modern day cloning.

In this capsule, each of the above examples is looked at in visual detail drawing comparison to the modern techniques of cloning.

While the world is debating whether cloning should be allowed to be researched, India has, as is evident from the above details, a history of cloning and unusual birth at different times in our civilisation.

Ideally, India can and should position itself as the place for research in modern reproductive and cloning methods.
