AugustDharmaHoma (offering of oblations into the fire with sacred chants) signifiesthe offering or surrender of the ego and egocentric desires into the flame ofknowledge or a noble and selfless cause. The consequent ash signifies thepurity of the mind, which results from such actions. Also the fire of knowledgeburns the oblation and wood signifying ignorance and inertia respectively.The ash we apply indicates that we should burn false identification with thebody and become free of the limitations of birth and death. This is not tobe misconstrued as a morose reminder of death but as a powerful pointertowards the fact that time and tide wait for none.Bhasma is specially associated with Lord Shiva who applies it all over Hisbody. Shiva devotes apply bhasma as a tripundra (the form of “º “). When appliedwith a red spot at the centre, the mark symbolises Shiva-Shakti (the unity ofenergy 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 chantedwhilst applying ash on the forehead.Tryambakam yajaamaheSugandhim pushtivardhanamUrvaarukamiva bhandhanaanMrytyor muksheeyamaa amrutaat“We worship the three-eyed Lord Shiva who nourishes and spreadfragrance in our lives.
