It is believed that menstruating women are associated with a curse. The description of this curse is found in the Mahabharata. So let's know who and why cursed women for menstruation.

Many terrible curses are described in mythological texts and stories.

One of these curses is the menstruation that women got. Because of this curse, women started having periods.

Astrology expert DrRadhakant Vats has told us in detail about this curse. Let us know who and why had given this curse.

  • There are many scientific reasons behind women having periods but it is also mentioned in mythology.
  • According to the BhagavataPurana, Indra Dev made women suffer menstruation to avoid the consequences of one of his sins.
  • Once the Asuras had taken over heaven, then Indra Dev had to leave his seat and run away from heaven.
  • When Indra Dev asked Brahma Dev the way to get back to his heaven and Indrasan, then Brahma Dev suggested he serve Brahmagyani.
  • Indra Dev started serving Brahma Gyani after finding him, but Indra Dev did not get the result of worship even after lakhs of efforts.
  • When Indra Dev tried to know the reason behind this, then he came to know that the wife of that BrahmGyani was an Asuri.

  • She was helping her Asura sons to get the full fruits of Indra Dev's worship, which made Indra Dev's worship unsuccessful.
  • Seeing this, Indra Dev got so angry that he killed the Brahma Gyani and his wife but he became a partaker of the sin.
  • This is because those whom Indradev killed were Brahmins and because of killing a Brahmin, he incurred the sin of killing a Brahmin.
  • When Indra Dev asked Brahma Dev for a way to escape from his sin, then he asked Indra to divide his sins.
  • Indra Dev divided his sin into four parts- tree, water, earth and woman. Because of this part, women have periods.

For this reason, women are still suffering from the curse of menstruation.
