Applying Tilak or Kumkum on the forehead is to protect our energy. Did you know this? 😮
In this short explanatory segment, the speaker links the practice of applying kumkum or tilak on the forehead to ancient tantric traditions. He explains that during the height of Tantra, the forbidden art of vashikarana—taking complete control over another—was openly practiced, and that the spots where kumkum is applied correspond to key marma points, the vital energy centers of the body. According to yogic and tantric belief, a powerful practitioner could use mantras and focused gaze on these points to dominate a weak‑willed individual, especially young women who are described as sweet, kind, trusting, and pure‑hearted. By marking these marma points with kumkum, the ritual is presented as a protective measure that shields the wearer from such manipulative influences and from the evil eye. The overall message is that the visible red mark is not merely decorative but serves as a spiritual safeguard.
