Periods are a natural and essential process, which is improper in terms of both science and religion. The opinion of Saint Premanand Maharaj is clear – no woman should be stopped on the philosophy, worship and devotion of God, whether it is at any time, especially in a holy month like Sawan.

Premanand Maharaj on Periods in Sawan: There have been many beliefs and social and religious sanctions to menstruation in India for centuries. Especially when it comes to a holy month like Sawan, this question deepens in the minds of women – is it appropriate to go to the temple, worship or see God during this time? On this subject, the famous saint Premanand Maharaj has recently given a very accurate and easy answer, which not only explains the religious view but also challenges social thinking. Let’s know in detail what he said.

Roots of traditions and religious beliefs

Since ancient times in India, periods have been considered an unholy time. Women do not go to the temple during this time, do not worship and stay away from religious events. But is it all really associated with religion or is it only part of tradition?

Sant Premanand ji’s clear and balanced opinion

Speaking on this subject, Premanand Maharaj said that “menstrual religion is a natural process, which is given by God. It does not reduce any woman’s devotion.” He clearly said that “If the mind and reverence is pure, then there is no sin by seeing God.”

Importance of Sawan and female devotion

The month of Sawan is considered extremely auspicious for worshiping Lord Shiva. Women observe special fasts and worship this month. Premanand ji also said that the love and spirit of the devotee for God is paramount, not any condition of the body.

Do not make the body process social restrictions

Menstruation is not a disease or impurity, but a symbol of the power and creativity of women. Social hesitation and distance about this affects women mentally.

What does religion and Vedas say

Many Vedic scriptures and saints are of the opinion that women were advised to comfort during periods, not to deprive them of worship. This was a sensitive approach to health, which today’s society named ‘impurity’.

There is no difference in the eyes of God

Premanand ji insisted that “God does not distinguish between men and women. He only sees devotion, not the condition of the body.” Therefore, whoever does devotion with true heart, is always close to God – whether she is in any stage.

The origin of spirituality is the emotion, neither external rules

Devotion and love for God are to the soul, not the conditions of the body. If the woman is full of reverence in the month of Sawan, then she can connect with God. This message of Premanand ji is supported for every woman.
