Old Hindu Rituals- II

We know that females like to wear ornaments, and in earlier times it was like compulsion esp. for married women. Like Silver ornaments for ankle and toe called "Payal" ( anklet) and " Bichiya" (Toe ring) resp. the scientific reason behind it is by wearing silver helps in keeping their menstrual cycle regular and trouble-free. But Nowadays because many women are working women and so don't prefer to wear ornaments due to many issues like safety etc.

Also, ladies are always fond of flowers that too delicate and fragrant flowers which they used to make a garland and wear on hair and hair bun. Now, this also has a connection with their menstrual cycle and in keeping their temperament of mind good. Because during the monthly cycle period time they get anxious and irritated so the fragrance of flowers helps them in keeping the temperament balanced.

We talk about gender equality which is very true even I believe in that. We all must support this. Because a woman is not less than a man. She can be equally strong mentally , may be less stronger physically.

Also education, intelligence skill-wise there is no reason why there should be any gender inequality at a job , in offices, or at home. But in fact, she is one step ahead as she is been chosen by God to give birth to a child and produce a new generation that she keeps in her womb for nine months. So she has been given extra responsibility and so is given " Overy " and " Uterus" and to take care of her health is her duty and before marriage it is the duty of parents esp. a mother. So if there are some extra " do's " and " don'ts" are for females is for their future benefits. Like food habits. In certain non -vegetarian families there is a restriction on girls esp. after a certain age because non-veg food may not suit her. I have not gone through this because I belong to a vegetarian family, but I have heard this from certain friends.

Also if the mother tells or gives some instructions then not to take it in a negative way. But yes it is necessary that females develop those feminine qualities and take extra care and precaution is for their betterment. Learning any dance form can also help girls in a certain way. Because in dance, certain steps, postures are performed which helps a girl in development. hence many parents prefer that their girl child go and learn dance from an early age, especially any classical form of dance.

Now in modern times of internet and information , knowledge is just a one-finger touch away . so educated generation is again getting aware about what and how things are good for them, their health and for their future

So change yourself with the changing times, but keep yourself rooted where it is beneficial to you and your health.

I will say good luck to all females especially and would dedicate this write up to them.
