This is the story related to Vedic times. In an attack of wrath Indradev kills a sage named Vritas and committed a crime of brahma-hatya. Now what is brahma hatya in a short and simple form brahma hatya means killing a brahmin.

IMPACT OF MENSTRUAL MYTHS:
This is the story of women’s strength to share other’s sorrow. It mirrors those self-less activities get endowments. Notwithstanding, the marks of disgrace related with monthly cycle have affected the general public to think precisely something contrary to it. A lady’s judgment is addressed – “She is too emotional”. A lady’s rightful anger is deciphered as a hormonal rant – “It should be that time”. Numerous young ladies in India exit school when they start bleeding because of the absence of sexual orientation amicable foundation in schools. Absence of sexual orientation delicate instruction has brought about low understanding of puberty, period, and conceptive wellbeing. The social and passionate texture of a lady’s prosperity is crumbling.
SOME OF THE MENSTRUAL MYTHS THAT EXISTS TILL DATE:
- MENSTRUAL PAIN IS JUST LIKE A HEADACHE: The Menstrual pain is a medical condition called Dysmenorrhea. Roughly 20% of ladies have dysmenorrhea which is serious to the point that it hampers with their everyday exercises. In any event, for the excess 80%, it’s difficult “it’s just not like a headache”. It can influence the capacity to focus and makes a woman more restless. So, on the off chance that you want to take a vacation day to twist up your bed and rest until the issues die down, pay attention to your body!
- PERIOD BLOOD IS DIRTY BLOOD: Monthly cycle isn’t your body’s method of flushing out the poisons. Period blood would have sustained your child in the event that you were pregnant. It resembles the blood that runs in your veins yet has less platelets. How might whatever can possibly bring another life be dirty?
- ONLY WOMEN CAN HAVE MONTHLY CYCLE: Only one out of every odd lady gets her period. Few out of every odd female who gets a period perceives themselves as ‘lady’. The gender binary is a social develop that less individuals are sticking to now-a-days. Transsexual men may in any case get their periods while transsexual ladies may not. A common man likewise has a period (not loss of blood but rather a hormonal cycle). This is a human-driven issue.
- A MENSTURATING WOMEN IS IMPURE: The so-called guardians and interpreters of our religion and strict writings have restricted the passage of ladies in strict establishments. They allude bleeding ladies as unclean. Throughout the long term, care became curse and got manipulated toward marks of disgrace and restrictions. The genuine motivation behind why our sacred texts state so is that the womb of a lady is considered hallowed even by the Gods as it is the nourisher of new life. This is likewise the motivation behind why ladies play out the Paanchang Namaskaar to Gods not at all like the ones who play out the Shaashtaang Namaskaar.
As an extension of this impurity argument, ladies are coordinated to live in confinement, and are not allowed to enter the kitchen or the food will be spoilt. In specific societies, discharging ladies are not permitted to hold new born baby else they may pass them their sickness to baby. This load of standards was made by our people (Ancient times people) to just ensure that during the 7-day time of menstrual cycle, a lady could get most extreme rest.
CONCLUSION: While writing this article and researching about the same I came to know that there are so many myths related to the blood flowing time of women’s but at last its proven that a woman when she is going through the menstrual cycle, she is not impure and she can do whatever she wants to do so ladies make your own rules and do whatever makes you happy and specially during the menstrual time!
