In an appalling statement which was made by Swami Krushnaswarup Dasji of Swaminarayan Bhuj Mandir, said that if a menstruating woman cooks food for her husband then her next avatar will be a “kutri (bitch)”.
Not only this, as per reports, he also said that if a husband eats food made by a woman on her periods he will be reborn as “ox.”
Krushnaswarup Dasji said that as per rules outlined in the ‘Shastras‘ if a woman prepares a food she will turn into a dog. He was quoted as saying in Gujarati in a report, “Now that I have said this, everyone will feel that I am strict. And they {women} will cry that we will turn into dogs. So, yes, you will have to {become dogs}.”
This is not the first time this type of statement has come to light. It came after Sahajanand Girls Institute (SGI) in Bhuj forced 68 female students to strip to check who was menstruating.
The students were taken to the restroom and forced individually to remove their undergarments to prove they weren’t on their periods.
Following the incident, an FIR was registered and college’s Principal Rita Raninga, hostel rector Ramilaben and peon Naina were suspended. A case has been registered under sections 384 (extortion), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 355 (assault with intent to dishonour a person) of the Indian Penal Code.
