I feel, during periods, she will be weak and also to give her rest from the daily works/chores, elders had advised 4 to 5 days break.
It is a pity nowadays so called modern girls & women not understanding this & are bent upon opposing this and going to work, attending functions, going to temples, participating in concerts and spreading the theetu to other/s, families also.
In most of the households, particularly in cities, eventhough if the concerned person informs about this to take rest women are not listening but do arguments.
There is need for our Swamys, Jeers, & other religious leaders to discuss in important platforms and call upon ladies to follow this at least to some extent and also marry with only Brahmin boys/gents only, but unfourtunately, no Swamyjis take up such impt. issues.
Also, more modern/wealthy the Brahmin ladies become they will not listen to good things like following good traditions, knowing about moksha & ways to go near to it., etc. they normally, get a feeling, Educated well, Earn well, Enjoy well & End Life with it.
dear all, this is written with a good intention so kindly do not feel otherwise.
