GOPI CHANDAN FOR TILAKA, YELLOW, 150 G

Tilak is a Vaishnava ornament that serves as protection and helps purify karma. Furthermore, even when ordinary people see tilak, they contemplate Krishna and are purified.

Anyone wearing tilak made from gopi-chandan receives blessings that many strive for years, sometimes a lifetime, to obtain. Such a devotee brings eternal benefit not only to themselves but also to those they interact with.

Applying tilak to the body is a sacred process performed in a meditative state, uplifting the individual on all levels. The Vasudeva Upanishad lists twelve key points on the human body where tilak should be placed. These twelve points correspond to specific spheres of the universe. Each sphere is associated with a particular incarnation of Vishnu. The Vedas state that the microcosm is built in the image of the macrocosm. Therefore, the twelve points where tilak is applied energetically connect our body to the entire universe and help it harmonize with the surrounding world.

In Sanskrit, these twelve points are called marmas. Marmas are special sensitive or vulnerable points. Applying tilak provides subtle protection against negative influences.

Composition: 100% clay (Gopi chandan) for devotional service to Krishna.
