Pure Sandal Wood Paste - Mind Calming - Beauty India Chandan Tika - Aromatherapy - Hindu Ritual Use - Meditation

Mysore Sandalwood Paste, a Pure Hari Darshan Chandan Tilak/Tika, is a sacred sandalwood paste primarily used in religious ceremonies for applying the "tika," or the dot between the eyebrows. This pure sandalwood paste, with a net weight of 40 grams, is made from high-quality Mysore sandalwood.

The application of a tika holds great significance in Hindu traditions. Sandalwood has inherent cooling properties when applied to the skin, making it a popular choice for this purpose. Tikasare typically applied for religious or spiritual reasons, or to honor a person, event, or victory. They can cover the face or other parts of the body, with the traditional practice of applying the tilak to twelve specific points: the head, forehead, neck, both upper-arms, both forearms, chest, both sides of the torso, stomach, and shoulder.

The term "tilak" encompasses the entire Indian subcontinent, and the tika is traditionally applied after taking a bath, between the two brows above the nose. This spot is symbolized as the place of the "third eye" of the divine, Parameswar, believed to be a center controlling knowledge, intelligence, and memory. The manner of application can also hold significance – applying the tilak with the ring finger is said to bring mental and physical ease, the middle finger for longevity, the index finger for salvation, and the thumb for proper bodily growth.

Sandalwood is closely associated with Lord Vishnu, and the application or wearing of sandalwood paste is believed to bring tranquility to the mind, provide a cooling effect, and raise the mind to a satvik (pious) level. It is considered a beneficial practice to wear sandalwood paste while chanting "Om Namo Naaraayanaaya," regardless of any astrological considerations.
