🧵 She Bleeds, So We Exist
Kamakhya, Menstruation, and the Political Hijack of the Sacred Feminine
They mock what they don't understand.
They politicize what they never respected.
Let me remind you of something deeper than ₹20 pads and fake feminism.

Let me tell you a story 👇

2/ In the quiet hills of Assam,
there stands a temple with no idol, no rituals, and no showmanship.
Only silence.
Because once a year, Kamakhya Devi, the living womb; bleeds.
And when she bleeds, the temple shuts its doors.
Not in shame.
But in reverence.
Because a bleeding Devi doesn’t need your worship.
She is the worship.

3/ But today, politicians toss sanitary pads wrapped in ₹20 packets,
not in compassion, but in mockery.
As if this ancient, sacred phenomenon can be reduced to a photo op.
This is not respect.
This is tamasha at the cost of womanhood.
Congress leaders called it empowerment.
But our foremothers would have called it what it truly is-
"Paap wrapped in PR."

4/ Our Rishis knew better.
Menstruation was never seen as "impure" in Sanatan Dharma.
It was a cosmic cycle.
A monthly yajna.
A woman doesn’t bleed because she's broken,
She bleeds because her body chose to release untold creation.
Every drop… a sacrifice.
Every cycle… a purification.

5/ She becomes a walking altar.
A portal between life and death.
A keeper of timelines never born.
That’s not biology. That’s Tapasya.
So why was she silenced?

6/ Because what you cannot control, you must shame.
That’s what patriarchs, colonizers, and now political actors have done.
They called her impure.
They erased her from altars.
They banned her from temples.
And today, they wrap their insult in tissue-thin activism-
calling it progress.
It’s not.
It’s hijacking the sacred.

7/ The Kamakhya tradition teaches otherwise.
During her bleed, no bells ring, no chants rise.
Because she becomes the mantra.
She becomes the tantra.
She is to be witnessed, not "rescued" with a ₹20 pamphlet and pad.

8/ In Sanatan Dharma, menstruation is not a pause.
It is Sadhana.
🌑 Detoxing karmic pain
🌑 Processing ancestral grief
🌑 Restoring her nervous system
🌑 Channeling divine intelligence

And here’s the truth:
A woman who honours this cycle doesn't need a saviour.
She needs space, silence, and sanctity.
Not PR stunts.

9/ Our grandmothers knew the rituals:
- Warm water & herbs
- Mantra in silence: Aim Hreem Kleem
- No outward worship
- Just the womb breathing divinity
But they were told: "You're dirty."
They were excluded, erased, erased, erased.
And today, they’re used by political parties who pretend to uplift, while they actually mock.

10/ But here’s what they can’t erase.

The womb is not just a space for reproduction.
It is a cosmic black hole that births and ends realities.
It holds karmic codes.
It burns ego.
And when awakened, it activates the divine masculine, not through obedience, but presence.

11/ So let me say this loud, for those who tried to turn this into a joke:
You cannot throw a ₹20 pad and claim to honour Devi Shakti.
You cannot virtue-signal over periods while erasing the spiritual power of the bleeding woman.
This wasn’t empowerment.
This was political circus on sacred soil.

12/ Kamakhya still bleeds.
Unapologetically.
And she needs no politician to validate her.
She doesn’t need feminism imported from Oxford.
She needs Sanatan memory.
She needs her daughters to remember.
Because when a woman remembers her body is divine,
She becomes uncontrollable.

That is what they fear.

13/ They trained her to serve, not lead.
They erased her temples.
They burned her wisdom and wrapped it in shame.
And now, they try to claim her pain as campaign material.
But she is rising.
Not with slogans.
But with Shakti.

14/ By women who bleed without apology.
By men who honour Devi in form and formlessness.
By a civilization that never forgot her, only forgot to speak louder.
So speak.
Rise.
And remember.
🚩 Jai Maa Kamakhya
