Sakshi Singhal Shares the Spiritual Power of Tilak and How It Affects Planetary Energies

Ever wondered why Tilak is applied on the forehead during rituals or festive days? According to Sakshi Singhal, a respected tarot reader and astrologer, applying Tilak goes beyond tradition—it carries powerful spiritual and planetary vibrations. In her recent explanation, she breaks down the right way to apply Tilak, the types of Tilak for specific intentions, and how this simple ritual can align your energy and strengthen your planetary influences.

Why Apply Tilak on the Forehead?

Tilak is placed on the Ajna Chakra, the space between your eyebrows. Sakshi says it boosts intuition, focus, and energy, acting like a protective spiritual seal.

Which Finger to Use?

Use the ring finger (Anamika)—linked to Venus and Satvik energy. It helps enhance the power of your intention while applying the Tilak.

Different Tilaks and Their Purposes

Chandan (Sandalwood) Tilak:

Chandan is known for its cooling effect on the mind and therefore Chandan Tilak is great for mental clarity, emotional stability, and even career growth.

Kumkum (Vermilion) Tilak:

This energizing Tilak boosts confidence, vitality, and invokes divine feminine power. Ideal for days when you need an inner strength boost.

Vibhuti (Holy Ash):

Often used in Shaivite traditions, this Tilak destroys ego, purifies thoughts, and deepens connection with Lord Shiva. It promotes detachment and spiritual discipline.

When to Apply Tilak

Applying Tilak is considered highly auspicious during religious occasions like Pujas, Raksha Bandhan, Bhai Dooj, and other spiritual observances. Sakshi emphasizes that it's not just ceremonial—it's a daily tool for spiritual alignment and planetary correction.
