A few days back, the heartbreaking incident surfaced when authorities stripped 68 female students at an educational institute in Bhuj, Gujarat, to confirm if they were on periods.
Now another shocking video of Swami Krushnaswarup Dasji of Swaminarayan Bhuj Mandir, the same sect that runs this institute, has surfaced that exposes his sick mentality.
As per the sources, the video recorded a year ago, where he is preaching about menstruating women, is doing rounds on the Internet. In this disgusting video, while preaching he said:
“A menstruating woman who cooks food for her husband will certainly be reborn as ‘kutri’ (bitch).”
And according to him, people who eat food prepared by menstruating women will be born as oxen. While referring to the Shastras, he tried to substantiate his remarks by saying:
“You can feel whatever you want but these rules have been outlined in the shastras.”
Disgusted by his misogynist remarks, many took to social media to express their agony:
Who will tell him he spent the first 9 months of his life in a sac filled with menstrual blood? https://t.co/S0jUp3xAGH

If menstruating women who cook will be reborn as bitches ..all I have to say is I would rather be born a bitch than an ass 😉

“If you eat food prepared by a menstruating woman even once, then your next avatar will definitely be that of an ox. A menstruating woman who cooks food for her husband will certainly be reborn as a bitch.”
Ashamed to call myself a Hindu!https://t.co/X7oqA6n4Py

This disgusting & regressive mindset that aims to push a gender behind another will be the end of progress in our country.
We must not tolerate such bigotry. Stand up and speak out against such agents of gender discrimination. https://t.co/la4GTYyNdW

This applies only to those who are condemned to be reborn and not good enough to achieve Moksha. People like me are not affected. https://t.co/MOmqCvez1E

At IFORHER, we are disappointed that even in 21st-century menstruation is treated with disgust and shame. It is heartbreaking to see how our society shames the very same phenomenon that laid the foundation of the human race in the first place.
