00:00My mom doesn't allow me to come into the pooja room, doesn't let me touch
00:04goddesses during my menstrual days. You know, warns me like you shouldn't be
00:08doing that. That fear factor she tries to push into my head. I voluntarily
00:15would never go to a temple on my menstrual days. As long as basic personal
00:21hygiene is being maintained, what is there to bother about? I'm pretty sure
00:26that if one is continuously vomiting, one wants to take care of that first before
00:31entering a serious place, a sacred place. If that has been taken care of, obviously
00:40God is not prohibiting anybody to come to him. But the temples themselves they put
00:48posters like this? Ignorance, totally ignorant. Irrelevant. If you want to go, go.
00:56If sometimes you feel like honoring the wishes of the ones who are putting up
01:00those things, don't. It's not a big matter at all. Religion is essentially a very
01:06private thing. It is between you and the one who represents your liberation. He's
01:13called God. It's a very private thing. It's not a matter of spirituality. It's a
01:19matter of aesthetics. If you have to make a decision, I said, make the decision on
01:25considerations of hygiene and aesthetics. That's the criteria. No other criteria.
