Why Tikka and ash on forehead?


We follow cerain rituals and practices, but we do not know the logic behind them.

For instance, applying tilak (sandalwood, kumkum or sindur) on our forehead stimulates our pineal gland (located near the centre of the brain between the two hemispheres) which controls the entire nervous system.
Some people put ash on their forehead: reminds us that we will also turn to ash one day.
