Laws of Manusmriti Regarding Menstruation Are No Longer Applicable (VIDEO)

In this video I discuss how:
1. The laws of the Manusmriti, which describe menstruation as a time of sutak (or impurity), are no longer applicable in modern times.
2. Manusmriti being a Smriti contains many temporary laws which are valid ONLY for certain times & under certain conditions. When these times & conditions change these laws become obsolete and are to be given up. Only then can Hindu society progress. Otherwise it will regress.
3. We must remember that EVERY custom practiced in the past cannot be blindly imported into the present. Blindly enforcing the custom of not visiting temples during periods / not doing puja during menstruation harms Hinduism tremendously as it damages Hindu women’s self-esteem and pushes several of them towards Atheism.
