    Tripundra Bhasma Dharan

    Om Namashivaya. Dear All, During the past years, I have studied about bhasmadharan, experimented it, and got benefits of it. Bhasma is the purest matter in the universe and it cannot be further purified. But, it can purify everything. Before performing puja or going to the temple, we do...

    Tripundra Bhasma Dharan

    Thank you for the quotes. But, I did not understand why "Water Tilaka". If you can wear real tilaka on your forehead, then why shouldn't you wear real tilaka on all the twelve parts of your body?

    Tripundra Bhasma Dharan

    Thanks for your valuable advice. Actually In Kerala people always appreciate bhasma dharan, since they consider bhasma as utmost divine. In my childhood during shivrathri, I had seen people prepare bhasma and keep it in a special pot which is generally hanging on the front side of the house...

    Tripundra Bhasma Dharan

    Hi Gaura Priya, Thank you for your prompt response. The girls in the picture look very beautiful with the long Vaishnava tilaka. In my humble opinion, the ancient Hindu knowledge about all traditions and customs are very much complex. Even our hymns, ritualistic activities, homas, yantras all...
