Comments on: Why Are Women Not Allowed To Enter In Temples During Menstruation

Namaste Sharatji
I would like to add my bit to this as someone who follows the mantra sadhana path and is well versed with Hinduism. The ancient mantras chanted in temples are subtle but very powerful energies and I think we all agree on this. Mantras work by sound and cause energy movement in the body.
To explain it simply, during menstruation, all energies in the body of a woman are focused downwards and are moving downwards and outwards of the body. When chanting mantras the energies are all moving rapidly upwards. So this will clash with the woman’s body and cause very serious illness over the long run. This is the reason that women were asked to rest and not attend pujas in olden days especially since temples are vortexes of energy and had the potential to disrupt a person’s entire energy field. The effects of ignoring this will be felt in the long run if not immediately and the ancient sages wanted to protect the laymen from this danger.
Furthermore, the days of menstruation were used as total rest days for the woman which is why she was excluded from the rest of the house (given how hard women had to work in ancient days) to have time for herself. In today’s modern world with washing machines, servants, takeaways and electronics this isn’t an issue.
As with all things in Kali yuga this seems to have been lost in translation over the ages and now in the rush to ape the West, this is seen as subjugation which it is not. Most recently, this has been seen in the Sabarimala Temple as well. The irony is that Hinduism is a very tolerant religion which respects women and this is why it has survived through the ages no matter how many invaders tried to destroy us. Indians need to understand this and stop aping the west which is racist and sexist at best and disease ridden as they have ignored and belittled the ancient ways – this is a very dangerous precedent for us to follow.
Sorry for the long reply but I just thought its high time we started understanding our culture.

Respected sir,

Not every religion deny women their basic human rights. In Sikhism women are equal to men. Founder of Sikhism Guru Nanak Dev Ji in his bani mentioned in Asa Ki bar that who curse women for their periods, they r themselves impure. In SIKHISM Guru Nanak Dev Ji has said we r all humans. There is no barrier I worshipping God. it is oue basic human right to praise God and do the simran. So from religious duties, being panj pyaras, or being khalsa women r equal in every perpesctive. Even Sikhism to remove caste barriers and given women equality, to free them from their husband’s identity…men only have to SINGH IN the end of their names like Harbhajan Singh and women will have KAUR in the end of their names like Ramnik Kaur.
