Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Thanks, Krishna. Our group visited this temple when we were in Kerala. As I recall, during Devi's mentrual periods, the temple is closed. This Devi is very beloved by people of all castes. We have wonderful pictures of devotees (including us!) in procession, celebrating a local festival there. I hope some American lady will politely ask Amma to ask about women, menstruation and spirituality. This is something that takes up 40 years of women's lives. Not only do they need to feel positive about such a long term process, but also, if there is a temple to the goddess who menstruates, we know there are positive things to know. Amma will know how to share them. Aikya Ammachi, "Krishna Prasad" <rkrishp99> wrote: > Hari OM!
