GREETINGS

pranams i have made a big mistake. in our house we follow the custom that if a lady has periods she should not stay away from kitchen etc. last time it so happened that i had my periods and we had some guests. my mother in law is very old and my father in law is very sick. so if i say she would have to do all the work from cooking to serving to cleaning. so i did not mention . i only light the lamp also in the house and keep flowers for the gods. if i dont do this everybody will come to know and make a big issue of the whole thing. so i kept shut and did that also. evening i had to go to the temple also . now what is the prayaschitham for this pappam. i kept telling myself god you are in my mind and that is pure only the body is not. please help me get out of this guilt.
