Its only a Label
Friend Amala,
Thank you for bringing out few facts about the misunderstandings of people who follow sanatan dharma.
Sanatan dharma is not a religion it is only a way of life. It is all about making your choices that suits your self towards dharma.
dharma is *laws of existence* and as human beings we are part of existence and so come under the laws of existence and the individual form who follows or harmonises oneself with that law of existence merges with IT [existence/truth/god/whole/etc]
In another words Sanatan Dharama is only about a *Way of life* and every way is a way and so every human following a way in his own way is also a follower and falls under the ambit of sanatan dharma meaning ways followed by following ways shown by Mohammud, Jesus, Gautama etc are all ways and so every one is following the Sanatan Dharma.
Next, if some temple is doing this and another doing so differently etc are only interpretation of what the laws of existence is and since most humans actions are based on what the mind perceives are always at fault meaning to accept that every temple authority has a perfect perception is to misunderstand that perception can be perfect.
Perception can never be perfect and alawys far away from truth. Only when the mind that perceives is transcended can one be in tune with truth with existence in harmony with the laws of existence and for that one needs to understand that every nook and corner of this universe is nothing but a temple and that humans too are part of existence and they could be in the form of women and women has to undergo periods and so that period too is as holy as existence itself.
Yes, possibly those days pads were not available and one did not wish to see the temple floor with the blood [menses] and so was asked to stay at home during those days as those who see it may lose the focus for which they come to a man made temple which is to pray or to harmonise the self with the *whole/existence/god/etc]
Friend Amala personally can only state that when we ourselves are part of existence and every place is the temple where does the need arises to visit a man made temple to pray? personally though born in India in a family following sanatan dharma never visit temples to pray as do so anytime anywhere rather every act is nothing but a prayer
itself. So never had to waste time in mindless discussions of man made rules in man made temples and utilise the wasted time in prayer wherever or whatever may be involved in doing during those moments.
Best Wishes.
Love & rgds
