JK advised everyone not to follow anyone, including him. JK further advised everyone to follow their inner voice, to query, to introspect, to find out for themselves the truth. Please read his booklet "Truth is a pathless land".
If a women's period occurs when she is in a temple, praying, worhshipping, folding her hands, at that instant would the temple be profaned? Is there any means to predict the exact moment when period would occur and hence either refrain visiting a temple or forcibly defer period to avoid profaning/desecrating temple?????
Evidence from scripture please. Quote the scripture, verse etc.
A lot of productive work.
I am not sure whether the powers I used to solve many problems will work or not. I am just going to try. It might work. So it is wise not to be certain about something when there is not enough information to think that way.
.....made of men's hands. Heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain His glory, let alone temple made of brick and morter by men. God dwells in a temple He Himself made. And that is the human body, inside the heart of a man or a woman who is alive in spirit, inside children.
I am reminded of a song in a Tamil film which goes like this "Kadavul oru naal ulagai kaana thaniye vandhaaram. Kannil kanda manidharai ellam 'nalama?' endraraam". A line goes like this in the song interpretated, he met children and found Himself in them (kallam illa ullam thannil thannai kandaaram). He was contented and gratified at last that Truth indeed prevails in the world He created.

Dear Renu,
What you say is correct! Human body contains lot of impure stuff (hope you will agree those are impure, at least!!)
Only when they come out, they are yucks!
P.S: May be, the oldies who can not hold their #1 for long, can visit temples tension free, with adult diapers!

What about a newborn, should they be allowed in the Temple, are they not impure? Just a rhetorical question, as I know the answer.

I expected this from you, Prasad Sir!
I know that a new born with diaper is allowed in temples!
So...... why not extend it to the 'second childhood' too?
After all, there won't be any sniff dog to :spy: the adult diaper!
last line'no.........affairs'
I have been wise once in life

Dear RR ji,

One which days they can and they cant.
Lets see how many people participate!LOL
You may know what is done in guruvayur when a child or baby does i or 2 in the nadai. But elephants get a different treatment!

Whether it will cure arthritis or cracked feet, fresh drops are warm, dry, non-sticky, fibrous and as good as a hot foot bath!
The kid, anticipating arthritis, should have knelt on it instead of stamping.

I have noted that many women actually love following traditions that restrict them.
None of my female cousins from both sides actually dare 'break' any rule.
When they see me breaking every rule possible they actually get scared of me even though I am older than them.
I have no idea how some can follow everything and some can never follow anything.
I am starting to wonder if I am adopted cos no one from both sides of the family thinks like me!LOL
I remember when I was a teen my younger female cousin told me that her mother told her if she lied God would pierce her eyes.
I told my cousin that it was her mother who spoke the half truth.
I said one should always speak the truth but not lie that God would pierce our eyes.

Biswa ji,
Isnt that too stressful..to always play by the book especially when it involves restricting your own self?
Doesnt anyone feel like breaking away and walking a free person?
At times culture and tradition is so self satisfying only when we are slaves to it..why be a slave especially when some traditions could even be the untruth!
Do we need slavery and untruth? Why not break free?
I remember this song now!
I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self satisfied I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free

People are scared of breaking rules.
Fist of all this is instilled in us by our elders, they themselves did not know the answers, so if you question any rules they look stupid, so you are told some cock and bull stories so you would stop pestering them.
Now you know why Nachiketa was punished. I have no qualms in accepting my limited knowledge. My daughter even today can ask me any question, and she knows she will get an honest answer.
Out of fear - our ancestors have instilled in us. They will come as ghosts and threaten us and our children.

All human religions and their traditions have their existence in fear and ability to fulfill desires. Traces of fear remains until there is knowledge.
Swami Vivekananda's quote about what our teachings emphasize is fearlessness.
In fact the quote is " If you read the Vedas, you will find this word always repeated — fearlessness — fear nothing. Fear is a sign of weakness. A man must go about his duties without taking notice of the sneers and the ridicule of the world."
It is better to do all Nithyakarma and other such rituals with understanding of the significance (why, when what where, how etc). Shraddham is one such ritual. My own opinion is that it is better to not do anything out of fear.

US consumer giant seeks to smash India menstruation taboos
The latest commercial for Procter and Gamble's top-selling brand of sanitary pads in India ticks all the usual boxes -- a young woman jogs happily in pristine white trousers, before effortlessly winning a tennis tournament.
But unlike most adverts of its ilk, this 30-second clip seeks to dispel the myths surrounding women's periods in a country where deep-rooted social taboos around menstruation still persist.
It ends with the catchphrase "touch the pickle", a reference to the widely held belief that a jar of pickle touched by a menstruating woman will spoil -- and an exhortation to young Indian women to reject such superstitions.
Procter and Gamble, the US consumer goods giant behind some of the world's biggest brands, said it was astonished to learn that such "primitive practices" remained prevalent in modern-day India.
May be this is the needed push.

Our scriptures do not say that we have to observe our nithya karma anushtana out fear. Karma anushtana is to be observed with absolute faith that it is for our well being in the form of atma suddi,mana shanti and kshemam of our children.The word shraadam it self means faith and not anything else that threatens us.
