Rakshabandhan, the festival symbolizing the sacred and unbreakable love of brother and sister, is one of the most special and prominent festivals of Sanatan culture. On this day, sisters tie Raksha thread (Rakhi) on their brother’s wrist with full rituals and pray for his long life. Along with tying Rakhi, the ancient tradition of applying Tilak on brother’s forehead is also going on. According to religious and astrological beliefs, when sisters apply tilak on their brother’s forehead with love and blessings, it symbolizes victory and positivity in his life.
Why is it important to apply tilak?
According to astrology, when Tilak is applied in the middle of the forehead on any auspicious occasion, it helps in activating and strengthening all the seven energy chakras of our body. On the day of Rakshabandhan, instead of just applying a simple tilak on the brother’s forehead, if some special and auspicious things are added to it, then its religious and positive effect increases manifold. Let us know which things mixed in Tilak are considered most fruitful.
1. Kumkum Tilak
The red color of kumkum is considered to be associated with energy, courage and the planet Mars. While applying Tilak to the brother, if a pinch of Kumkum is added to it, then the brother gets the blessings of energy, strength and positive results in life.
2. Akshat (unbroken rice)
Use of Akshat is considered mandatory in worship and every auspicious work. Adding Akshat to it while applying Tilak attracts happiness and prosperity in the house. In astrology, Akshat is considered to be related to the planet Venus, hence applying Akshat on the forehead brings glory and prosperity in the life of the brother.
3. Importance of turmeric
Turmeric is considered very sacred and auspicious. While applying tilak on brother’s forehead, it is very auspicious to add a pinch of turmeric to it. Applying turmeric tilak strengthens the position of Jupiter (Guru) in the horoscope and brings blessings of happiness, prosperity and prosperity in the brother’s life.
4. Use of vermillion and saffron
If you add a little vermilion in it while applying Tilak to your brother on the day of Rakshabandhan, then you get the special blessings of Lord Ganesha and all the obstacles in life are removed. Along with this, applying saffron tilak gives mental energy to the brother and there is never any shortage of money in his life. Tilak applied by mixing all these holy things makes the brother-sister relationship stronger.
