Shakta Tripundra/Tilaka??

[Guest guest]

Namaste-

 

I have found plenty of information regarding tripundra and tilaka as

it relates to the Vaisnavas and Saivas, but I was wondering if there

was something similar for Shaktas?

 

If this has already been address, just a reference message number is

fine.

 

Thanks and Blessings,

yes u seem to know that there is a shakta tilaka. But that is not revealed

unless one reaches a certain level. It is not for public consumption.

This is according to Wikipedia:

 

"As used by Vaishnavites (Vaishnavas), it is called the urdhva-pundra. It has

two vertical lines (sometimes with another intermediate line) variously

connected at the bottom, from simple U shape to a form of Tulasi leaf. Shaivites

wear it as three horizontal lines (tripundra) and Shaktas as one vertical line

or dot. It has a distinguishing, protective and decorative function. The

Vasudeva Upanishad gives more detailed information."
