i have 10th day of my periods but still spotting can i recite bhaktamar shlok during my husband hernia surgery?
In many Jain traditions, during menstruation women avoid temple worship, idol worship, and formal ritual activities.
If you are only reciting Bhaktāmar Stotra mentally or verbally at home with devotion, many Jain families consider it acceptable, especially if you are keeping purity, peace, and respect. But some traditions are stricter, so practice may differ in Digambar / Shwetambar households and family customs.
For your husband’s surgery, Bhaktāmar recitation is spiritually auspicious and can be done as a prayer for peace and well-being.
Since you are on day 10 but still spotting, if you wish to stay fully cautious according to traditional restraint, you may:
- recite it silently in the mind, or
- wait until spotting stops before doing any formal recitation.
If you feel unsure, the safest Jain approach is to follow the custom of your own sangh/family tradition and maintain purity of intention.
