Namaskar Mrs Joshi, it depends on your background, whether you had

strict religious upbringing that says that women cannot go to the

kitchen to cook, cannot do anything, cannot pray in home mandir or

even go to temples, etc. If yourself and your husband's family are

not from strict religious backgrounds or are Smarta Hindus, its fine

to continue as you are doing.

 

Agama Hindus also continue doing what they are doing. Then there are

people from tantric backgrounds where they have no such boundaries.

 

If you feel strongly about reciting mantras during those times but

feel uncomfortable going to the mandir, then perhaps sit in the

living room to do it when the household is quiet.

 

At other times, chanting mantra during housework and preparing food

is a form of Bhakti and this is very good. It infuses the home with

the essence of God and spiritual energy. You sound like a very pious

lady who speaks God's name whenever you can and your mind/soul is

full of God, hence the guilt feeling during times when you are not

able to recite mantras or do puja. God knows this, and will bless

you for your efforts.

 

Aum Aum
