Should a girl not visit temples during her periodic cycles?


As every woman has periodic cycles or menstruation period so does the Earth or Boomadevi has, she is no different or an exception, Amavasya (new moon day) is when she has her periodic discharge(in the form of minute seismic waves under the sea or formation of new plates/ sabotage of existing plates). That’s when even the Chandra (Moon) shuts his eyes because he considers having a glimpse of it is an act of contempt. Hence this is a natural process created by God, if this doesn’t happen, a being is never considered a woman, she can never become a mother too, hence having conceptions like not touching them during their menstruation process or having them restricted  from entering temples is wrong. In that case none should touch Boomadevi too during Amavasya which occurs every 28 days of Hindu calendar.

Navagrahas...

A topic of dispute, between western philosophers (and scientists) and Indian theists of Vedas -


There are basically many divisions and subdivisions in Indian astronomical science,

Graham (a planet)

Moola graham (a bigger planet which controls the other planets, can also be a star)

Nakshathra (a star)

Anthariksha shila (asteroid)

Upagraha or Grahanga (a natural satellite of a planet)

Suryanga (can be a planet or anything around sun or any other star) and so on.


But graham does not just mean a planet, it also signifies the celestial bodies which are spherical by nature, according to Pani and Prakrit (ancient languages of India much ancient than Sanskrit, till known)

Hence in astronomical terms:

Surya is a nakshatra and a moolagraha (moolagraha :who also can be the origin of grahas) and thus no offense including it in the list of navagrahas, as no calculations are performed without its origin and also will have adverse effect in astrological predictions.

Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn are all universally accepted as planets.

Pluto was never considered a planet by Indians and now it’s been the same with western philosophers and scientists too…

Many now might question of moon being considered a graham and earth being eliminated from the list of navagrahas. Bhoomi or Earth was never eliminated from the list at the first place it was always considered a graham and moon a upagraha or grahanga, but for astronomical calculations, to know the effect of grahas and its positions, on man, and to predict natural calamities or epidemic ,the position of earth was also important, but being on earth and to experience its effect due to its planetary position, was quite an impossible task, its like though the surface of sea is rough with waves its bed remains calm, hence being on earth would not let you experience its motion (revolving not rotating) or effects of its position in space. Hence another planet (graha) or upagraha or satellite which almost was equidistant from sun with negligible difference in distance was considered for calculations, thus moon replaced earth in the list.

6. Medical Science & Technology In Indian Myth & Vedas...

Too many people have doubts about the beliefs Hindus had, regarding earth, that they believed that the earth was flat:

Accordingly, that was not what they believed in, but instead they had lot of stories and puranas depicting that earth was a globe, for instance we said:

1. ParashuRama went around the earth 21 times killing all the kshatreya men to avenge his father’s death. “To go around the earth”, this could have been told only if the “earth” was believed to be a globe.

2. In another purana varaha murthy(an avathar of vishnu) carries bhoomi in between his tusks in his incarnation of a wild boar, the “earth” was been rescued who was in the form of globe, who once was thrown down into a very large water body by hiranyaaksha a demon and simultaneously fights with the demon while having earth in between his tusks and I don’t think varaha could have carried Bhoomi in between his tusks and simultaneously fight if it was flat (common sense).

3. We use the word “bhoo gola” to define the solid structure of earth which means, a globe.
This delusional idea of the earth being assumed to be flat was after people started invading India and forcefully imposed their beliefs on Indians. Which or-else would have been better undisturbed.
