WHY DO WE APPLY THE BHASMA(HOLY ASH)? *Bhasma (the holy ash) is the ash from the homa (sacrificial fire) where special wood along with ghee and other herbs is offered as worship of the Ishwara or Ishwara is worshipped by pouring ash as abhisheka and is then distributed as bhasma. **Bha implied bhartsanam ("to destroy") and sma implies smaranam ("to remember"). The application of bhasma therefore signifies destruction of the evil and remembrance of the divine *Bhasma is called vibhuti (which means "glory") as it gives glory to one who applies it and raksha (which means a source of protection) as it protects the wearer from ill health and evil, by purifying him or her. **** The ash we apply indicates that we should burn false identification with the body and become free of the limitations of birth and death. ©KhaultiSyahi #Religion #Bhasma #Ash #God #spiritual #khaultisyahi #follow4follow #like4like
