By applying the vibhuti to your forehead you participate in the ceremony, just as if you were there physically. 1. you can eat it. 2. you can share it with others. (including pets) 3. you can apply in on your forehead - either three straight horizontal line across your forehead or a small horizontal one just above your eyebrows. Just ensure you don't waste any by allowing it to fall to the ground. Apply whatever is given to you everywhere on your body rather than waste it as it is supposed - health, wealth, riches. The vibhuti is made from burnt cow dung, which represents the entire Universe will be ashes one day, when Siva has His Mahapralaya (don't know what this means :-))) and then begin again. Whatever it is, the vibuti has great healing properties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
