Why WOMEN in Menses not allowed in Temple or to worship?

[Guest guest]

Hello Rajan:

 

Well, women in menses are not allowed in temples because some MALE

asshole was over-enthusiastic in his attempt to make women

feel/believe even more "inferior" and "cursed" then what they already

were feeling.

 

I see no reason why a menstruating woman shouldn't enter a temple or

a kitchen, etc. I feel a menstruating woman should have the right and

option to enter temples, kitchen and do whatever she pleases.

 

Isn't this ridiculous? Menstruation is God's creation as well, why

shoud we treat is as a curse or unholy?

Dear Rajan,

 

Women having menses are 'unclean', that's why they are not allowed to

worship. The reason for this is that they take part in the results of

Indra's being cursed for his sins.

Dear Dhira,

 

After forcing myself to sleep on your comments I will now respond, hopefully

in a polite fashion.

 

In my opinion the evaluation of women as being "unclean" when menstruating

has been one of the most damaging and oppressive notions to hit us

throughout the age of Kali. I've heard on more than one occasion that the

menstrual blood is deemed unclean because it could have sustained life, yet

does not.

 

This reasoning would certainly be valid if it applied equally to each

ejaculation experienced by men. Why are men not deemed to be unclean

creatures? They ejaculate a lot more frequently than women menstrate.

Doesn't their sperm also have a connection to life?

 

Some day this foolishness will pass, once all of us stop blaming the gods

for our own distorted and perverted thinking. How can we refer to the gods

and their shakti in one breath while belittling the shakti of mortal man?

 

May each of us strive to treat all living beings with respect.

 

Regards,

 

Phyllis

Mr. Vishwanatham,

 

Well said! A clean and pure mind - that is the true temple.

Dear Friends,

Much has been said about the topic under reference. I personally think that it

has to do with the practice in old days where women of India used to remain

isolated from even their family members during the M.C.

That practice might have to do with non availability of various medicines or

knowledge about the precise function of bodily processes. Though looking at the

knowledge of Ayurveda it seems unlikely. The practice might have to do with

hygiene, vis-a-vis resources available in days bygone.

Astrologically it might have to do with Mars and Moon's relative positions at

the time of M.C.. It has nothing to do with discrimination against women as, it

appears, is being proposed(my understanding might be wrong as to the intent of

mails).

Chandrashekhar.

Dear Phyllis,

 

Can we really stop thinking about God, when we are in the toilet, is the question that bothers me!

 

i think what we are talking about is externalities here, which are more to do

with religion than spirituality. Are we talking about the purity/cleanliness of

bodyor mind or soul?

 

Let it be so for believers, is what i think about the externalities.

 

Both the parents are required for continuity on this earth. They are different &

there is no comparison between them.

 

regards
