Siva Tatwam/ MahaShivarathri

Why do we apply the holy ash?

The ash of any burnt object is not regarded as 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 God. Or the deity is worshipped by
pouring ash as abhisheka and is then distributed as bhasma. Bhasma is generally
applied on the forehead. Some apply it on certain parts of the body like the upper
arms, chest etc. Some ascetics rub it all over the body. Many consume a pinch of
it each time they receive it. Homa (offering of oblations into the fire with sacred
chants) signifies the offering or surrender of the ego and egocentric desires into
the flame of knowledge or a noble and selfless cause. The consequent ash
signifies the purity of the mind, which results from such actions. Also the fire of
knowledge burns the oblation and wood signifying ignorance and inertia
respectively. The ash we apply indicates that we should burn false identification
with the body and become free of the limitations of birth and death. This is not to
be misconstrued as a morose reminder of death but as a powerful pointer towards
the fact that time and tide wait for none. Bhasma is specially associated with Sri
Shiva who applies it all over His body. Shiva devotes apply bhasma as a tripundra
(the form of “º “). When applied with a red spot at the centre, the mark
symbolises Shiva-Shakti (the unity of energy and matter that creates the entire
seen and unseen universe). Bhasma has medicinal value and is used in many
ayurvedic medicines. It absorbs excess moisture from the body and prevents
colds and headaches. The Upanishads say that the famous Mrityunjaya mantra
 should be chanted whilst applying ash on the forehead. Tryambakam yajaamahe,
Sugandhim pushtivardhanam Urvaarukamiva bhandhanaan, Mrytyor
muksheeyamaa amrutaat C36 Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS) “We worship the
three-eyed Sri Shiva who nourishes and spread fragrance in our lives. May He free
us from the shackles of sorrow, change and death – effortlessly, like the fall of a
ripe brinjal (eggplant) from its stem.”

 Subhashitham

" Krinvanto Vishwam Aryam " - Let's make this world a noble place to live in, let's give
highest knowledge to the whole world.

‘Ekaṃ Sadviprā Bahudhā Vadanti’ (एकं स ɮͪ व Ĥा बहु धावदिÛ त) is a unique

knowledge in search of Truth, God/ultimate reality, theism, and Religion. The
meaning of the word, ‘Ekaṃ’: one, only, unity, ‘Sad’: truth, reality, eternally
existent, God; ‘Viprā’: wise people, human knowledge, intelligence, ‘Bahudhā’:
many or numerous, and ‘Vadanti’: to speak. The literal meaning of ‘ekaṃ sad
viprā bahudhā vadanti’ is ‘God is one but the wise people/the sages speak of it
variously’ or ‘Truth/ ultimate Reality is one, sage call it by many names,’ or ‘that
which exists is One: sages call it by various names.

अयं निजः परो वेति गणना लघुचेतसाम्

उदार चरितानां तु वसुधैव कु टुम्बकम्

Ayam nijah paro veti gananaa laghuchetasam

Udaar charitaanam to vasudhaiwa kutumbakam.

i.e. Only narrow minded persons have two different outlooks towards common
matters relating to themselves and others, whereas for noble and broad minded
persons the entire world is like their own family . (And their approach towards all
matters is uniform, be it it their own matter or that of others i.e. they are never
partisan.)
  Amritavachanam

ചക്രവര്‍ത്തി അശോകന്‍ പറഞ്ഞു..,

“ധര്‍മം സ്രേഷ്ടമാകുന്നു. ധര്‍മത്തിന്റെ ഘടകങ്ങള്‍ എന്തെല്ലാമാണ് ?
പാപവര്‍ജനം, ശുഭാകര്‍മാനുഷ്ടാനം, ദയ, ദാനം, (അവുദര്യം), സത്യം,
ശുചിത്വം, ഇവതന്നെ. മനുഷ്യര്‍ക്കും, മൃഗങ്ങള്‍ക്കും, പക്ഷികള്‍ക്കും,
ജലജന്തുകള്‍ക്കും പ്രാണരക്ഷ കൊടുകണം. ഇതനുസരിച്ച് പ്രവര്‍
ത്തിക്കുന്നവര്‍ സുക്രുതികളാണ്.”

സ്വാമി വിവേകാനന്ദന്‍ പറഞ്ഞു..

“നിങ്ങള്‍ പ്രവര്‍ത്തിച്ചുതുടങ്ങുവിന്‍, അപ്പോള്‍ നിങ്ങള്‍ക്ക്
താങ്ങുവാന്‍ കഴിയാത്തവിധം പ്രചണ്ഢമായ ശക്തി നിങ്ങളില്ലേക്ക്
പ്രവഹിക്കുന്നത്കാണാം. അന്യര്‍ക്ക് വേണ്ടി ചെയ്യുന്ന ഏറ്റവും
ചെറിയ കാര്യം പോലും ഉള്‍ക്കരുത്തുണര്‍ത്തുന്നു. മറ്റുള്ളവരുടെ
നന്മക്ക് വേണ്ടിയുള്ള നേരിയചിന്തപോലും ഹൃദയത്തില്‍ ക്രമേണ
സിംഹത്തിന്‍റെ ബാലമുണ്ടാക്കുന്നു.”
