Smt. Sridevi garu!

Jai Srimannarayana!

 

We have already mentioned the significance of wearing the pundram (mark on the

forehead). The significance of the pundram is to show the faith one has in the

scriptures viz., The Holy Vedas. Next, face is the index of the mind. So,

whatever we feel in the mind isshown on the face. While colour one is to show

''the peace in the mind and the red one is to show ''the love we need to

promote the life in progress''.

 

You have asked about ladies in particular right?

 

Ladies can also wear the same way of pundram. Then, while colour one, will be in

a horigental line like single faced moon, and the red one will be the same, as

men wear, i.e, verticle line from the middle of the eyes to the top of the

forehead.

 

For vaishavaites, who take deeksha from the Guru, through pancha sanska;ras,

they need not remove the pundram, even after they loose their life partner (

either wife or husband ). But during the a:soucham period (i.e., after death

or birth for about 13 days) they are not supposed to wear the red one. They

need to wear only the white mark. Whoever & whenever one wears just while mark

on the forehead, it indicates that, that person is in a:soucham state. (i.e.,

untouchable stage due to pollution). Other times everybody should wear white

and red as u:rdhwa pundrams. No restriction is observed even to the ladies, who

lost their life partners. That pundram is to show that this person is the

belonging of the Lord Sri;manna:ra:yana.

 

Jai Srimannarayana!
