Jai Jai ShriGokulesh,

          Tilak is one of the essential mark for a Sanatan Relegion follower. we find 2 types of tilaks in pushtimarg 1 'U - shaped and other || - shaped. THis tilaks r done mostly by males, and females only do bindis. We directly object that a female cannot do tilak . But fail to provide the shastriya pramans where it is been objected. Pls share the ideas on this topic.

Jai Shri Krishna!!!

Even I don’t know the reason but I’d seen the females following Ramanuj Sampraday do a straight tilak n then apply bindi either at its lower end or at center. Even many female members of  ISKON do the tilak like males.

Jai Shree Krishna,

Even I have seen the many women in ISKCON temple they do the tilak like Male.. But I don't know is there any reason for females, that they cannot do the tilak like male..??? I don't think so...

do correct me if I am wrong...

Thanks

Kavita

Jai Jai ShriGokulesh,

                Now a days we find such marks done, that is true,. But does our Indian (Vedic-Sanatan) scriptures permits for a female to do?? Even for Dwij (Janoi), only males can wear, and that also the Brahmans, Kshatriyas and the Vaishyas. So today we find that janoi diksha is given to females of Gayatri parivaar, and the females does the yagya, and havans, but is these all done in the boundries of our culture??? Does our Shastra Permit??

tilak is part of nitya niyam karma  now as per 108 guruji  women are not allowed to wear tulsi mala

while they go through there monthly  natural cycle

some ancient 108 guruji has affirmed that women needs to wear tulsi ji mala and change it and wear a new one on 4th day of the cycle and old malas be flowed in river

janoi and tilaks are described in vedas and upnishads our urdhwa pund is considered as best

stree is not allowed in vedic kriyas so no wonder why janoi is not allowed to women

((and then the legend of women sharing the sin of indra along with earth tree and river  could br the reason))

in pushti marga  stree shudra all are equal or better then any qualified karma kandi  brahmin

so why tilak is not allowed to women    i have no explaination  will wait for the answer

jsk jiger shah

Jai Shri Krishna!!!

The main question remains unanswered the same thing happened in previous topics related to re-brahmasambhand and sutak n all vedic kriya.. so n so . Now waiting 4 a proper reply 4m vaishnavs.

Jai Jai ShriGokulesh,

    In the response to jigarbhai's argument of

quote:

---

some ancient 108 guruji has affirmed that women needs to wear tulsi ji mala and change it and wear a new one on 4th day of the cycle and old malas be flowed in river

---

   Jigarbhai is right. But 1 clarification to this point. Tulsiji is always pavitra, and it doesnot get impure during the monthly cycle of a female, But the tulsiji is been poured in the thread of Sutar, and this sutar becomes impure during the menstrual cycle,. So if a female wearing tulsi mala wanted to utilise the same bids of tulsiji, then had to pour the another new fresh thread of sutar after the 5th day and can wear that bids of tulsiji. Sutar thread should be flowed in river.

     For the vedic kriyas from birth till death for a female is restricted, and no mantrochaar is done for a female, Which the Smrutis says.

        The followers of Iskon females does tilak, we should ask them first that whether who showed them to do this tilak?? Because Iskon is the off-shot of ShriChaitanya panth. and not itself a Sampraday. Iskon or ShriChaitanya panth does not show any of the vaules of a jeev to get liberation, just as it is shown in our sampraday. The methodology is not shown.

      Lets talk of few sampradays from the 1st of ShriShankracharyaji's sampraday, ShriRamanuj sampraday, ShriMadhva's Sampraday, ShriNimbark Sampraday and our ShriVallabh's Pushti-Rudra-Bhakti Sampraday. Till here no aacharya had shown or gave orders for tilaks. And even during the time of ShriChaitanya females were not shown to do tilaks. So this is the present age's culture. And the institution whose maximum followers r the Mlechha how can they show us the right path..............

Jai Jai ShriGokulesh,

         When Indra killed a brahmin, he got the brahma hatya. So these brahma hatya was shared by 4 and 1 is female. Even when females does the dandat pranam to shrigurucharan and shriprabhu, does with panchang dandat, full dandwat is not done by females as done by males. Because the Vakshsthal of females should not touch the ground.
