Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Dear learned elite friends. im a staunch beliver of god, and love to worship as shiva & shakthi. i have widely read on various concepts of hinduism. but, still i dont understand, why we exempt ladies from worship for specific period. i would request the people in the group who have authority over this particular subject to kindly let me know, why women are considered impure for a specific period of the month. in assam, and in chenganoor of kerala, even the devi has this menstrual cycle. those 3 days the sanctum sanctorum is closed. on the 4 th day, special poojas are done and the regular poojas starts, as a person who has admired both the normal worship and the thanthric worship, i still dont understand, why ladies are treated with partiality. it is a general phenomena of mammals. If we see athma as God, isn't it correct that the physical impurity will not affect, isn't it that athma is beyond the genders ? can some one explain ? with best regards, the lord's dasan, aravind. --- v992003 <no_reply> wrote: > Dear Cyra > > How is the Ganesh chanting going?

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Not sure I quite understand this, either. When the menstrual blood is leaving the body, the lady's body is actually "cleaner" than while the unused "blood lining" is still within the uterus. I think it depends on one's tradition, as some traditions apparently do allow women to participate while they are menstruating. I know that one Hindu priest told me that the dark coloring on the Shiva lingham is the menstrual blood of Parvati.
