For what it's worth, this is unadulterated bullshit.

 

" Ladies " can perform pooja without regard to menstrual cycle, unless

they themselves feel they should not, in which case they -- either

voluntarily or via social conditioning -- " disqualify " themselves.

 

It is a social rule, not a religious rule, and its effectiveness

therefore depends on the buy-in of the parties involved.

U know what....... being Thaipusam today......I thought its just

funny this question comes in today of all the day. I remembered

once at a Thaipusam festival in singapore..... as a bystander with a

female friend when suddenly a young girl approach me and ask :

Akak.... i have a problem and I have to ask you. U see, im not sure

im going to have my menses today........but Im due today..... but I

really want to go in the temple and do my prayers.... but what

happen if inside the temple suddenly i come my menses..... and she

go on and on, what happen ifs...... I immediately place my hand on

her mouth and said..... shh! nobody have to know weather ure going

to have menese or not....... if u want to go and do your prayer...

just go and do and come out. " then what happen if in the midst

suddenly my menses come? " she asked again........ again it told

her.... look just go in and do and come out..... the whole world

don't have to know about it. In the temple nobody at the door will

ask or check weather ure having ure menses or not. LOL

 

 

Now my instinct tells me..... somebody yes! SOMEBODY will come and

bombard me........ and will give us a scientific research to support

their views that its not right for women to do pooja or go to temple

when they're having menses........LOL

[Guest guest]

It is all in mind. My wife knows it is not a block. But still she observes it as

she is trained that way.

I actually have briefly read articles on this. It seems that the taboo of

female menstruation is a relatively universal social taboo when it comes to

different religions and cultures - some of the societal laws in the East being

no exception.

 

But due to the nature of what I consider the most successful religions (AKA,

religions that survive the ages without being reduced to cult status in their

respective areas), there is a big distinguishing between the core laws of a

religion and the societal laws surrounding those core laws. Even in other

texts, such as the Holy Bible, you see how the societal laws change and

eventually contradict each other in history; some of the older stages of

Judeo-Christianity had the taboo of women's menstrual blood. This to me tells

me that religious laws and social laws are not always the same traditions, if

that makes any sense. Zoroastrianism, I think, had similar social taboos

(though there is not much on that in terms of doctrine anymore), etc.

 

Maybe I am just way too left handed for my own good, but I honestly do not think

women should worry when they worship. Maybe I am not an authority on this post

since my understanding of some of these customs are limited, but considering the

trends I seen, I have to agree with DB and Nora on this. Their responses makes

the most sense to me.

 

Jai Ma!

 

Sincerely,

Christina

Can ladies recite slokas and do prayers on their

mentural period also

 

Respective memebrs,

prayers is is true ?

[Guest guest]

I suddenly remembered something I read quite a few years ago (may be

25 years during a summer vacation in a relative's home).

 

In Mahabaratham there is a sub-story about the origin of women's

menstruation.

 

When one of the Gods (Indra, I think) was afflicted with Brahmahathi

dhosham (Killing of a brahmin), the sin was divided by another God

and shared with other creations so that the afflicted God can do his

duties.

 

The sin was divided into several parts, of which I remember three.

 

one part was sent to moon, after which moon started to wane and wax.

one part was given to sea and it started to taste salty.

one part was given to women and they started to mestruate. So on and

so forth.

 

My take is as follows.

 

If we as shaktas worship phases of the moon as 15 nityas, and if

Hindus consider taking bath in ocean/sea can cleanse them of their

sins, then why cannot women pray during their menstrual cycles?

 

Will appreciate feedback from the learned.

It has nothing to do with sin. It's Prakrti, part of the creative

principle, and its cycle, which is sacred, includes the death of eggs

and the blood that would have nurtured them.

 

The animistic philosophies say, ah, dying blood, dissolution of life,

and separate it from the rites of life, but they also say, this is a

powerful time of retreat and prayer when you can access the depths.

 

Anyone who tries to tell females they are barred from approaching the

divine at this time doesn't understand much.

Hi!

In your post you referred to a blog-

" I would suggest you all to go to our blog and just type : Menstrual

time...... "

I can't find the blog, could you post a link?

 

" Menstrual time in SS again after such a long time in Menopausal "

Shucks, I am sorry to have missed anything about Shakti and

menopause, since as a 40 something woman I am said to

be " perimenopausal " .

 

And, speaking of women and menstruation and menopause etc. does

anyone have anything on ojas and women? I am aware that there is

nothing in the scriptures or texts, and some authors like Frawley

have attempted to cover the subject, but inadequately, I feel. I have

even been told that the women have " subtle semen " and can thus

still " lose " or " discharge " ojas during sex. Do I " lose " ojas when I

menstruate? If so then is menopause an " urdhvareta " for women?

Thank-you!

Leela

Correct. Ladies are visible forms of the Goddesses . They may do whatever

they please.

Goddess Amrithanandamayi or Ammachi also told once that ladies may continue

with their sadhana in periods also, but owing to temple sanctity/purity,

they need not visit shrines. Various manasa pujas are also practiced if one

feels guilty that his body is impure.
