This temple worships bleeding goddess, prohibits women having periods!
Menstruation is always associated with different myths and taboos. Menstruation is something women has to suffer in silence. Women not only face physical torture during periods but also mental torture as society denies to accept them. Periods make women go through hell. Coming to the point, there is a bleeding goddess Kamakhya Devi’s temple in Guwahati,Assam where goddess bleeds itself but ironically bleeding women are not allowed in temple to worship.
One of the many places of pilgrimage in India, what makes Kamakhya Devi different is that it has no sculpture to worship, only Kamakhya’s yoni or vagina.
Temple where bleeding goddess is a bliss but bleeding women are restricted:
The temple is one of the 51 shakti peeths. When Sati’s father Daksha insulted Lord Shiva, Sati didn’t bear this and committed suicide. Placing Sati’s dead body on shoulder, Lord Shiva did Taandva- dance of destruction. In order to calm him down, Lord Vishnu, cut the body with his chakra and parts fell at different 108 places – all of which later came to be known as shakti peeths. It is said that Sati’s womb was falled at Kamkhaya’s temple.
People consider it to be one of the auspicious places in the country. See the tragedy, that we live in a nation where goddess blood is considered as sacred but bleeding women is a curse. People should understand that even goddess bleeds so it not a curse but a blessing for women.
Chaitra Navratri 2022 begins on the first day of the Hindu month (lunar-solar calendar) Chaitra. It marks the end of spring season and beginning of summer season, and that’s why it is also known as Vasant Navratri. The nine-day-long festival has already started from April 2. Tomorrow, that is April 3, is the second day of Chaitra Navratri, and Goddess Brahmacharini is worshipped on the second day of the holy festival.
Chaitra Navratri 2022 Day 2: Maa Brahmacharini Significance
Maa Brahmacharini is known for her pure and sincere devotion and determination. According to the drik panchang, Goddess Parvati took birth at the home of Daksha Prajapati. In this form, the Goddess Parvati was a great Sati and her unmarried form is worshipped as Goddess Brahmacharini. It is also believed that Lord Mangal, the provider of all fortunes, is governed by Goddess Brahmacharini. She did severe penance to get Lord Shiva as her husband and performed hard austerity. Due to this, she was called Brahmacharini. According to Hindu mythologies, Goddess Brahmacharini was on a diet of Bilva leaves for 3000 years while she prayed to Lord Shankar. Later, she even stopped eating Bilva leaves and continued her penance without any food and water.
