यहाँ मासिक धर्म से जुड़ा पर्व क्यों मनाते हैं? Kamakhya Temple Explained | Ambubachi & Shakti Peeth

Why does Kamakhya Temple honour feminine creative power when menstruation is still surrounded by stigma?

Pandit Omkar Mishra joins DyWix Studio for a Hindi podcast on Maa Kamakhya, Ambubachi Mela, Shakti worship and tantric traditions.

जहाँ समाज शर्म देखता है, वहाँ आस्था शक्ति का स्वरूप क्यों देखती है?

On Nilachal Hill in Guwahati, Assam, Kamakhya is associated with a sacred natural stone shrine rather than a conventional idol of the Goddess. That distinction opens a larger conversation about how devotees understand creation, the body and the Divine Mother. In this episode, Pandit Omkar Mishra explains the religious beliefs surrounding Maa Kamakhya, the significance of the Yoni Peeth and the traditions he associates with worship there.

यह बातचीत सिर्फ मंदिर के रहस्यों की नहीं—स्त्री के प्रति हमारे नज़रिए की भी है।

From the annual Ambubachi observance to Kumari Puja, the red cloth offered as prasad and the debate around bali, the discussion explores subjects often reduced to sensational clips. What does tantra mean within the guest’s tradition? Why do stories about the temple create both devotion and fear? Omkar ji shares his perspective on worship, service and the responsibility that should accompany spiritual practice.

तंत्र को केवल डर से जोड़ना कितना सही है? और देवी को शक्ति मानने वाला समाज महिलाओं के सम्मान पर क्या सीख सकता है?
