ஸ்த்ரீகளின் தீட்டு விஷயம்

ஸ்த்ரீகளின் தீட்டு (து}ரம்) - ரஜஸ்வலை விஷயம்

ரஜஸ்வலை மற்றும் தீட்டுள்ளவரிடமிருந்து 16 அடிகள் விலகியிருக்கவேண்டும்.
ஸ்த்ரீகள் து}ரம் குளித்த நாளிலிருந்து 14 நாளைக்குள் து}ரமானால் தீட்டுக் காக்கத் தேவையில்லை.
15 வது நாள் து}ரமானால் 1 நாள் தீட்டு, 16ம் நாளானால் 2 நாள் தீட்டு அதற்குமேல் 3 நாட்கள் தீட்டு.
4ம் நாள் து}ரம் குளித்தாலும் 5ம் நாள் ஸநானம் செய்த பிறகுதான் தேவ பித்ரு காரியங்ளில் யோக்யதை உண்டு.
து}ர ஸ்த்ரீகள் ஒருவருக்கொருவர் தொட்டுக்கொள்ளக்கூடாது.
து}ரமாயிருக்கும் காலத்தில் வேறு ஆசௌசம் (தீட்டு) நேர்ந்தால்;, நிறைய துவாரங்கள் உள்ள சல்லடை போன்றவற்றால் தீர்த்தம் சேர்க்கச் செய்து தீர்த்தமாடவேண்டும்.

Re: ஸ்த்ரீகளின் தீட்டு விஷயம்

May i know on what basis this condition had been implemented for women?.

In those days women were not able to live hyginically and so they were used to stay seperately and there were no proper medicine to counter diseases which spreads due to it.Apart from this women shouldnt have any physical relation with their husbands during this period.But now a days there are more things have come to keep their body in hyginic condition.Then why such condition for women now?This is after all a biological matter.

Even how it can be followed by families living in flats.

Any suggestion please?

Sri:
The text is given as found in the Shastra books.
It is one's own opinion to follow as it is and having some modifications according to their circumstance and situations.
A global and general ammendment can not be done on Shastras.

It's not about hygiene at all. It's about the negative energy , while they have those days + like how a wounded person, with bodily fluids leaking , is asked to take rest, these acharams were laid down. When there is a will there is a way. Whether it be a flat or it be a villa or it be a palace, if we intend to follow the Shastras we can always do. + Giving rest from the household responsibilities to women is really important,a s they will get cramps etc..a nd will be physically, mentally and psychologically unstable. So, men of the house get to learn cooking, and understand the pain they undergo in those 3 days.

very well said and it should be strictly followed compulsorily by the brahmin community

Re: ஸ்த்ரீகளின் தீட்டு விஷயம்

Women , being the home makers of a family , do a lot more physical activities than men . Be it putting kolam , drawing water from wells, cooking - the day is heavily packed with laborious tasks . Just like any machine would need rest (sometimes lubricant too) for its efficient functioning , so too the body of a woman needs rest for atleast three days in month . That is why theetu is observed . That touching them is a taboo and things like that - we do not know yet what might be the significance of it (why i am saying this is because every thing that is observed in brahmana kalacharam is being supported by science , though late - thanks to scientists who are working on all those things.)

Vaikuntam Sir

women needs rest is true but not necessarily only during her ‘periods’; anytime when she is tired she can take rest and no one is going to question her during the present day.
Are they not attending office on those three days?

They can take a shower during that period for physical cleanliness, but
Painful cramping in the abdomen, back, or upper thighs is common during the first few days of menstruation. Severe uterine pain during menstruation is known as dysmenorrhea, and it is most common among adolescents and younger women (affecting about 67.2% of adolescent females


One contemporary gynecologist, Christiane Northrup, has revisited the ancient association between the cycle of the moon and a woman's monthly cycle. She suggests that a woman's hormonal changes during her cycle affect her energies and moods, so that it might benefit her to take the occasional break from the demands of everyday life, particularly during the luteal phase of the cycle when progesterone levels are high, and which represents the ''dark of the moon'' (Northrup 2002, pp.105-107, 134f.). This approach connects female biology to a creative psychological cycle that echoes the cycles of the natural world.

Re: ஸ்த்ரீகளின் தீட்டு விஷயம்

What I meant by 'rest' was complete isolation from everyday chores. As for their attending offices , (though I dont have any say regarding that) , you know for yourself what all kind of ailments that the present day women go through in their body - every other day a new disease crops up(different types of cancers , arthritis , etc.,). It wasn't there during the olden days . That was the reason why I support their abstinence from the everyday hectic . I hope you get my point.

Re: ஸ்த்ரீகளின் தீட்டு விஷயம்

In olden days there was not many kits available for women to keep them clean during the period; nowadays many special kits are available in the market only for this purpose. They take shower and maintain the body clean.
So the women, during that period are not ‘disease spreading ‘to anyone.



67 percent of women lose sleep during their menstrual cycle every month. They probably need some rest during that period.

The core of explanations around menstrual practices
Most practices arise from a common ground – Ancient Indian Science, which includes Ayurveda, Yoga, Meditation, Mantra and Astrology. The science of Mudras, a part of Yoga, is also important in this understanding.
The ancient Vedic seers, recognized a principle of “energy” that gives movement, velocity, direction, animation and motivation. This energy of life is called Prana, meaning primal breath or life-force. Western allopathic medicine which is a few centuries old is based on external medication and intervention. Whereas Ayurveda which is at least 7000 years old, is a science of life and a natural healing system, with a deep understanding of the human body and its relation to nature. Ayurveda is based on the principles of three primary life-forces in the body, called the three doshas.Doshas are the bio-energies that make up every individual, and help in performing different physiological functions in the body. The three types of Doshas are Vata, Pitta and Kapha, which correspond to the elements of air, fire and water respectively. Each dosha has a primary function in the body. Vata (element, air) is the moving force responsible for communication, perception and cognition; Pitta (element, fire) is the force of assimilation and is responsible for metabolism; and Kapha (element, water) is the force of stability.
According to Ayurveda, menstruation is closely linked to the functions of the doshas. Menstruation is regarded in Ayurveda as a special opportunity enjoyed by women for monthly cleansing of excess doshas; it is this monthly cleansing that accounts for female longevity. There is a buildup of energy in the days leading to menstruation as the body prepares for pregnancy. If pregnancy does not take place and menstruation starts, this built up energy gets dissipated from the body during menstruation. During menstruation, Vata is the predominant dosha. Apana vayu, one of the elemental air functions of the Vata Dosha, is responsible for the downward flow of menstruation. Therefore, any activity that interferes with this necessary downward flow of energy during menstruation should be avoided. During menstruation, women are more likely to absorb other energies in their environment. This forms the basis of most of the cultural practices around menstruation in India.
With this in mind, the following cultural practices followed around menstruation:
1. Not attending religious functions, visiting the temple and not touching menstruating women
2. Avoiding cooking and eating with others during menstruation
3. Avoiding sex during menstruation
4. Avoid swimming or washing the hair during menstruation
5. Avoid eating certain types of food during menstruation
6. Believing that menstrual blood is impure
7. Taking time off during menstruation
8. Restricting menstruating women to seclusion huts
