in tantric poojas there is no such restriction .. in fact they prefer woman guru over male guru .
in tantric literature menses is celebrated and the menses substance is referred as "pushpa" or "flower" and women who is having menses is called "pushpini"
in assam there is kamakhya temple where the goddess is beleived to menstruate every year for 3 days ... this june month itself. every year a big fair is held there during this period for 10 days temple remains closed for three days they say that red fluid comes out from the main sanctum sanctorum
now also in some south indian and east indian states when a girl gets her first period then it is celebrated in a grand manner. it is called mangala snaanam
yoni portion of sati has believed to feel there... hence there is no idol and just a yoni shaped rock. its a mysterious temple and that place neelachal parvat is associated with many legends
its that natural arrangement of body is that there is extra blood produced everymonth which can be used for the development of fetus .. that is why after pregnancy menses stops .. because that blood is used for foetus development
even now also mental pooja and mental chanting etc is allowed right ?
?? i did not see
nothing wrong
we dont know what was case in the past but now i think there are modern sanitary pads then i dont think that menses blood can make a temple impure. so in temple also it wont be a problem .
@RakeshJoshi - With today's advancements and with better hygiene products , the restrictions are not that applicable but has to be followed in temples etc. but in case of performing poojas at home or reading its ok
@RakeshJoshi Women or men. They are Humans and they are deluded by Maya. Equality should be there. But we shouldn't also misinterpret some verses as male domination. Also, there should be no fake feminism.
@KrishnShweta Women are source of creation. They must be loving, caring, soft. Womanhood & motherhood are synonymous. Such warmth of women rises a perfect dharmic life/offspring. Women are not supposed to behave like Men as men are not supposed to behave like women. Both genders have their own significance, no gender is above than other. It is just that both have different areas & scopes. @RakeshJoshi
@RakeshJoshi That's not independence. Do you think if your mother restricts you from going somewhere as snatching independence or protection? There should be tradeoff.
@RakeshJoshi Rise of uncontrolled feminism will give rise to uncontrolled Meninism. Once Meninism comes situation would be again like before. Balance os nectar, imbalance is venom.
@Aghori be honest and talk your heart out .. yesterday you were saying against sexual empowerment now ur saying women should not imitate men.. what exactly is the issue ??
@TheDestroyer have u read complete verse ? if not then read it then comment.
I'm saying neither Women should copy men, nor men should copy women. Its simple. Both are different creation & not competitors.
we have misunderstood the word “equal”. Equal does not mean same. Equal means equal opportunity, equal regard, equal respect, but not sameness of action. If you bring sameness of activity, you will put the woman to great disadvantage in most areas of life outside. You will put men to disadvantage in certain other areas of life. And above all, inefficiency will prevail – women trying to do what men are good at, men trying to do what women are good at and making a mess of it.
@Aghori "women trying to do what men are good at, men trying to do what women are good at " What women and men are trying to do? What he is talking about?
Take simple example @TheDestroyer there are 50 houses & each house has 1 family consisting of Father, Mother & 2 sons therefore total 50 families.. suppose there are 50 posts in a company. Every family needs one representative for that particular post otherwise family would starve. Some family is doomed to starve if any family sends 2 employees for job.
Now this is happening. there are 12 such couple both got the job. Resulting in two jobs per family. Therefore 12 families are starved to death.
That's why women shouldn't be allowed to earn as long as his family earning less than required.
@SwiftPushkar there is a post in company, my family is starving. But that post has been hijacked by a women which I could get ,when her husband was working there already.
Little example.
2 job in one house there. But no job here.
1 family getting more than necessary but 1 getting less than necessary.
@Aghori - yeah , but men can work at any place , not the women , he can move grt. distances in search for better job , women generally can't , and if the women has the right talent for that particular job then she should be allowed , And one other family afterall gets supported by one women working also
Yes women shouldn't be allowed to earn as long as her family is earning less than required. I am firmed on my conviction. I believe in universal harmony not individual.
@SwiftPushkar there is a post in company, my family is starving. But that post has been hijacked by a women which I could get ,when her husband was working there already.

@AnkitSharma We can't take for granted everything is correct in developed nations. We should see multitudes of factors before we compare India and West. Rich is not true developement and materially poor is not underdevelopment.
@AnkitSharma EVen in past there were female Yoginis in India. They were like Male Yogis. So, working should be no problem if they do it properly (fulfilling all their Swadharmas properly).
@AnkitSharma But don't get carried by that emotion. Even too much of freedom for women is dangerous. Fake feminism we are seeing now in India is result of that. There should equality in true sense.
The whole scenario today is a reaction of what they went through in the past .. they were denied education , religious equality, social equality , denied to work .. financial freedom etc.
now they want to get educated and be financially independant there is nothing wrong i it
@AnkitSharma cool that
for a nations development we need all skillled people to contribute regardless of gender. let all the family members work ... it will help nation grow .
@RakeshJoshi i have seen many people who are allotted houses from Governement don't stay in those houses and instead decide to stay in their slums and they give Governement allotted houses for rents.
@RakeshJoshi This birth based caste is doing more harm now. Politics in India is soley decided by Caste (most of those politicians have no idea of Varna).
@RakeshJoshi - their are lots of Gurav priests in shiva temples in MH who are not Brahmins , and let someone who changes should maintain brahminhood for 3-4 generations and then let his children have that job so someone at least should start the process.
@RakeshJoshi - Purity of mind , knowing of correct mantras , vedas , vedic study , knowing correct puja procedure etc . there are very few jobs , and these are not jobs , these are positions. Pujari /priest , and associated persons
@SS yes its cycle .. so better to stop it to avoid future conflicts
While talking about purification of material objects (women are only objects) the smritis say Ashtavarshaa bhaved gouri nava varshaa tu rohini | dasa varsha bhavet kanya ata urdhvam rajaswalaa|| praapte tu dvaadashe vashe ya: kanyaam na prayacchati | maasi maasi rajastasyaa: pibanti pitara: svayam ||
An eight year old girl is known as gouri at nine she is called rohini. At ten she is called kanyaa and above ten she is rajaswalaa. If a girl on her attaining 12 th year is not given away (in marriage) every month the ancestors drink her menstrual blood !
@RakeshJoshi - then let someone who wants to be priest maintain some high values , for some generations and let him do the job .. No problem , is it a giveaway post ? it needs years of learning , following of dharma , and study of scriptures at guru-graha :)
@RakeshJoshi - Every school has its own rules , some are open to some specific followers , like in Astavinayaka temples , a priest should be a ganpatya , and should be well versed with ganapati puja , same to Tirupati and other places
Doctors are rigorously trained , the collages maintain strict merit based system in admissions in order to avoid any not eligible candidate to be a doctor .. Muunna Bhai MBBS only in movies 😀
@TheDestroyer Swadharma is nothing but acting according to one's aptitude & aptitude is a result of Samskars accumulated over the chitta from previous births. It won't exhaust without working in accordance of Swadharma. I will write a well researched answer next year on this..
From Prabhupāda commentary on SB 4.25.41:

@Pandya Only Paramatma. There are two kinds of Avataras, Avesha Avataras and non-Avesha Avataras. Avesha Avataras have Jivas in them, non-Avesha Avataras don't.

@Pandya Vyasa is an example of an Avesha Avatara; his previous birth was a rishi named Apantaratamas who was not an incarnation of Vishnu, but then Vishnu blessed him to be an Avesha Avatara in his next birth.
@Pandya By the way, the Avesha Avatara/non-Avesha Avatara distinction should not be confused with the Purna Avatara/Amsha Avatara distinction. That distinction is about how many of Vishnu's Kalyana Gunas an Avatara possesses.
