Jai Ma!

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19HtAijXLv/

Sometimes I look at myself and realize just how far I have come, and all I can say is thank You, Ma Shakti.

Thank You for helping me rise when I could have stayed down.

Thank You for giving me strength when I didn’t realize I still had any left.

Thank You for closing doors I kept trying to open, for pulling me away from what was draining me, and for teaching me that sometimes losing something is part of finding myself again.

Ma, You didn’t just help me survive difficult seasons. You helped me become someone I am proud of.

I am proud of the way I kept going.

I am proud of the things I had the courage to leave behind.

I am proud of the boundaries I learned to create.

I am proud of the woman I am still becoming.

And I know I didn’t rise alone.

There was a Divine Mother behind me, beside me, and within me, reminding me every time I forgot:

Get up, my child. We are not finished yet.

Thank You, Ma Shakti, for every time You carried me until I was strong enough to stand again.

Today, I can look at myself with love and say:

Ma, look at me. I made it through. And I am proud of who I have become. 🙏🏽❤️

Jai Ma Shakti

Understand menstrual exclusion, it is as usual the inversion from what many westerners believe to be true at first glance. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1D588YacZX/

In ancient times, a menstruating woman was considered so pure that she was worshiped as a Goddess. What is pure we don’t touch, and what we don’t touch we call a taboo. So the reason for the taboo of not allowing a woman to enter a temple is precisely the opposite of what we think: she is not impure. Quite the contrary, she is a living Goddess at that time. So when she enters the temple, the energy of the God or Goddess, which is there in the temple’s mūrti, will shift over to her and the idol will become lifeless—because a menstruating woman is life. That is why one of the greatest sins against woman is telling her there is something impure about her menstrual cycle.

In Guwahati, Assam, we have the Kāmākhya Temple, where the Goddess menstruates. During her period, she is considered so holy that people are not allowed to go in and see her.

The thing is, Kali and Sundarī are the same Goddess. Kali is the dark one and Sundarī is the bright one. This same Sundarī becomes Kali when she menstruates; meaning dark, unknown fears are present at that time. Kali is worshiped as Rajaswalā when she is menstruating, and as Sundarī when she is not.

Ta**ra is thus a spiritual movement that seeks both worldly fulfillment (pleasure, health, wealth, family) and liberation—both after death and in embodied life. Unlike earlier traditions that viewed the body as an obstacle, Ta**ra insists that the body is the temple of the divine, the seat of sacred power, and the field where truth is revealed."
