red color and red kunkun tilak on third eye chakra

[Guest guest]

yes that is also one of the ways to look at it.

 

 

also why do shakti sadhakas put red kumkum tilak

mark on forehead ???

 

for us humans our birth happens due to the menstrational

cycle of woman,known as rutustrav.

 

so,we as shakti sadhaks-devotees,apply red kumkum tilak

on all 7 chakras of the body externally,incl the crown chakra

and 3rd eye chakra AS A MARK OF DIVINE RESPECT

FOR THIS NATURAL PHENOMENON AND WOMANHOOD.

 

but only 3rd eye chakra ie forehead and the place between

2 eyes is visible.so we apply it and it seems only forehead is

having this tilak.

 

also the kukum is supposed to be consecrated,ie generally

abhiskhek annointing is done on the kumkum by pouring it

over a specific yantra like sriyantra,and this is then applied

to forehead.some specific mantra is also said when doing

this.

 

this is in short the significace of red color and kumkum tilak.

 

also before this bhasma-holy ash is applied bwloe

and kumkun or tumeric and kumkum tilak is applied

to forehead.

 

 

 

om shakti
