Today's Hindu men have largely abandoned the use of tilak, except for wedding events, petitions, or sanctuary visitors. Pandits, Veda purohits, yogis, and sadhu men or pupils, on the other hand, are often seen wearing different styles of tilak. In Hinduism, tilak, vibhuti, sandalwood paste, and kum are all popular rituals. Several organizations wear the tilak in unusual ways. For example, Shiva lovers' brows will have three even lines. The three vertical lines will be applied by Vishnu devotees (Tripundra). Aghori resembles applying vibhuti to the whole body. Tilak can be applied to twelve different parts of the body, including the head, neck, upper arms, lower arms, abdomen, sides of the middle, stomach, and shoulder.
We should adore the Sagun (emerged) form of Parameshwar because we are linked to Maya (the extraordinary figment) (the preeminent god). The human body is revered as a divine shrine. In the district where a choti (tuft of hair retained while the rest of the scalp is shaved) is kept, the Sahasrar chakra is arranged on the crown of the head. The Nirgun (non-appeared) Parameshwar is based there. Sagun Parameshwar maintains his place in the mid-forehead. As we are linked to Maya, it is only natural that we love the Sagun form of Parameswar.
Applying a tilak to Parameshwar in the mid-forehead district confers Shanti and generates devotion and Bhav. It also assists in the treatment of headaches and stress. Tilak application is a kind of formal expression of God's devotion.
Tilak should be applied with the middle finger, according to sacred texts. Since this finger is linked to the heart, the sensations it generates are transmitted to the heart. When tilak is applied to Parameshwar in the mid-forehead region, vibrations emitted by the 'third eye' present there are transmitted to the heart, resulting in dedication and Bhav (spiritual feeling) in the brain for the rest of the day and giving Shanti (peacefulness).

Urdhwapundra is a process that alludes to at least one vertical line drawn on the brow. For drawing Urdhvapundra, soil from Shrivishnu-blessed locations or the banks of Holy Waterways such as the Ganga, Sindhu, or Gopichandan (white mud) may be used.
Tripundra relies on three lines drawn horizontally on the forehead with Bhasma (Holy Debris).
The third eyespot is where Sandalwood Paste should be added. Between two eyes is where the third eye is found. Person situations can vary. If you have spent a lot of time reflecting on past lives, your third eye would be smaller than most people's. The third eyespot is diminished when profound reflection occurs. The cooling essence of sandalwood paste initiates the third eye for meditators, so it is applied at the third eye spot. It attracts meditators' attention to the third eye. Consideration is food for the third eye, and musings are poison. If you think more and have more careless experiences, your third eye will become more engaged. As an alert, always operate on and decontaminate your heart place before attempting to activate your third eye. Try to avoid any perniciousness, indignation, jealousy, or sexual proclivity. Share your affection, empathy, and energy with others all of the time.
The Bhasam, or debris, warns you that it will return to its natural state. Nothing goes on indefinitely. Passing is an inevitable fact. So it's best not to get caught up in the mundane aspects of life and instead focus your efforts on achieving self-realization (illumination or moksha).
Vibhuti arises from the holy fire, or Dhuni, which is ignited by sadhus, Aghoris, or at religious rituals such as havan. It is also derived from the sacred fire that has been scorched in the sanctuary. As a result, it transmits spiritual waves,s and is an excellent idea to use it on the body. It will also send you otherworldly sensations and will open minor chakras in your body. It is regarded favorably and is regarded as a major strict tradition.
