● It won't be itchy as it contains no chemicals and is purely handmade from original turmeric powder.
● A woman's soul-energy (Atmashakti) is awakened when she applies kumkum.
● The spot on the forehead between the eyebrows, where the kumkum is applied, is a very important nerve point in the body. It is known as the ajna chakra/pineal gland, also known as the intuition center. When kumkum is applied, the point on the mid-brow region is pressed, which activates the energy point.
● Applying Kumkum opens the channel of intuition and preserves energy. It also helps in improving concentration and improving blood supply to the face muscles.
SandhyAvandanam” is a “nitya karmA”, a daily obligatory duty of the dwijas. (those who wear the sacred thread)
“sandhyA” means ‘twilight’ and “vandanam” means ‘worship’.
sandhyAvandanam is the worship performed at dawn and dusk to the supreme Lord who is the indweller of the disc of the sun. The meditative repetition of the gAyatri mantrA and the offerings of water called “arghyam” are central to the “sandhyAvandanam” procedure.
sandhyAvandanam or sandhyOpasanA procedures should be learnt from your guru/pandit officially at the time of “upanayanA”, the initiation ceremony of the sacred thread because they contain mantrAs from the VedAs and have swarAs. Thereafter, it can be practised with the help of your elders or through other medias.
