regarding ladies problem

[Guest guest]

Dear members,

 

I am giving here the view of a very advanced srividya upasaka who is my

friend. It is to be noted that srividya upasakas belonging to Dakshinachara

tradition should follow these purificatory process which is MANDATORY.

 

Since, Vama and Koula discussions are out of this forum, i would not delve

into them here. But, in vamachara, there are certain mantras to be chanted by

ladies during this monthly problems so as to get maximum benefit out of the

upasana. Ladies during those problems are considered to be embodiments of MOTHER

DIVINE. This is the concept behind the Kamakhya temple of Assam. They worship

the mother who is in her monthly problems.

 

" Indian housewives, for ages, have known that pickle and other preserved foods

handled by them during menses spoil easily. There is a scientific explanation

for this so called ‘superstition’. Critical investigations by Drs. Macht and

Lobin at Johns Hopkins University Laboratory have found a certain toxin

(appropriately called " Menotoxin " ) in the various body fluids of a menstruating

woman. This toxin is believed to manifest itself in large quantities, just

before and during the first few days of the onset of the monthly period.

Research has revealed that Menotoxin has an inhibitory effect on the growth of

roots, stems, living seedlings, yeast and affects the geotropic properties of

seedlings.

 

Every one of us has an " aura " . Today, the human aura can be seen and

photographed by a method called 'Kirlian photography'. Study of the human aura

shows color and density differences in a person who is in health and in

sickness. A woman, whose aura is bright and light under normal circumstances,

has the aura becoming dense and dark and morbid during her menses. Kirlian

photography also shows a change in the emanations from her body. These

emanations are poisonous and can kill delicate plants if watered by a woman in

her menses and can even spoil foodstuff like pickles and wine, if handled by

her. Also, her immunity levels are low, hormonal changes huge and hence prone to

infections and depression. To address this issue, she was given rest from her

busy schedules and kept away from things needing immense mental and physical

effort. Since Upasana and Pooja as taught by the Vedas and Tantras require great

levels of mental and physical involvement, the women are restricted

from taking up such practices during their menses.

 

 

In India it used to be the custom, and in orthodox Brahmin families it still

is, for the women of the household to isolate themselves during the menses. They

do not go into the kitchen or pooja room, nor do they touch any member of the

family. This period of seclusion provided women with an opportunity to take a

break from household duties which, in a traditional family of up to fifty

members, were frequently quite arduous. (Many a modern mother wishes she could

have time to herself away from housework and children for a few days every

month.) This retreat was a psychological protection at a time of heightened

emotional sensitivity. Instead of aggravating any irritability or depression,

which so easily flare into angry scenes or harsh words, a woman withdrew into

the soothing quiet of her room, preserving her peace of mind and family harmony.

 

Apart from this, every morsel of food cooked is offered as Naivedyam to

Bhagavan in traditional Brahmin households, offered to the elders and guests and

then consumed as Prasadam. The Devetas accept not the Stoola or the gross form

of the food but the Sukshma or the subtle essence of the food through the odor.

When the food to be offered to the divinity is handled by a woman in her menses,

this subtle essence gets distorted due to the imbalance in her own Sukshma

Sharira. Would the Devatas especially the Yoginis and Bhairavas accept such

offering? Same logic holds good for flowers and other materials used for pooja.

Apart from all this, one should realize the simple fact that the Rishis who gave

us the Smrti were Yugradrishtas who knew the microcosm and the macrocosm in and

out. It is simply beneficial to stick to their wise commands without trying to

re-interpret, distort or negate these eternal truths. Paramahamsa Sri

Vidyaganesha Swamigal belonging to the lineage of

Sri Sundaresha Sharma of Tanjore, a Siddhi Yogi mentioned about his visions of

Srividya Ganesha and also revealed a set of instructions given to him by

Bhagavan. One of these was to strictly follow the Bahishtha Dharma "

 

One SHOULD NOT DARE to take the srividya upasana if one is not following the

BAHISHTHA DHARMA in one's houses. This is my CAUTION for the followers of

Dakshinachara school.

 

With regards,

Sriram

usual practice is to perform punyAham after asoucham

Ramakrishnan Balasubramaniam's website has a laghu punyAham paddhathi

http://www.geocities.com/balasr/

 

in cases where it is not possible to follow the do's and dont's. for various

reasons such as living space etc..

the best way would be to perform only trikala sandhya..place the samputam on

rice for the days of asoucham and after the interval, perform punyAham and

resume the puja

 

regards

Vishwam
