The wise sages, endowed with great intelligence and sincerity, approach Indra, the king of gods, with devotion. They earnestly pray for the removal of darkness and ignorance, asking for the blessing of clear vision and wisdom. Just as one seeks release from physical captivity, they seek liberation from the bonds of ignorance.

चन्द्रमा मनसो जातः । चक्षोः सूर्यो अजायत ।

मुखादिन्द्रश्चाग्निश्च । प्राणाद्वायुरजायत ॥

What does Veda say about periods?

As per Krishna Yajurveda Kanda 2. Prashna 2. Anuvaka 2, women accepted part of Indra's brahmahatya dosha in return for permission for physical relationship only for pleasure. Until then, physical relationship was permitted only for procreation. A woman's body carries this sin during menstrual days. Vedic tradition advises vrata during these days, which has several health and spiritual benefits.

Can a bhakta ignore shastras (scriptural teachings)?

No. As per Narada-bhakti-sutra.12, even after attaining oneness with Bhagavan, he should endeavor to protect the shastras. Scriptural discipline promotes and strengthens bhakti. The Shastras aid in achieving purity of mind. Bhakta performs duties enjoined by shastras as service to Bhagavan.
