Forwarding what I have written in my other Sanskrit & Vedic scholars groups. Some of you may cherish and may do the needful for harmony and living with true & divine संस्कृति:-

ॐ नमो नारायणाय।
०६/११/२०२५
नमस्सर्वेभ्यः।
यद्यपि अहं दुर्भाग्यवशात् शैक्षिकदृष्ट्या व्यावसायिकदृष्ट्याच च “अणु-ऊर्जा-विकास-अनुसन्धान-वैज्ञानिकः” (परिश्रान्तः) आसं, तथापि भाग्यवशात् द्विर्भाग्यशाली अस्मि — यतः श्रीरामानुजाचार्यपरम्परायां ब्राह्मणकुले जातः अस्मि।
अहं चतुर्वर्षात् पञ्चवर्षपर्यन्तं शास्त्रार्थ-मननं, साधनम्, उपदेशं च कृत्वा, वेद-वेदान्त-विद्या तथा देवप्रदत्त-मन्त्रानां व्यवहारार्थं च प्रयत्नपूर्वकं शिक्षामि। धन्योsस्मि।
एवं वृद्धोऽपि सन्, अहं स्वभ्रातॄन्, स्वभगिनीः, पुत्रान्, पुत्रीः, पौत्रान् च विनयपूर्वकम् आह्वयामि —
“अधोलिखितानि शुभाचाराः प्रतिदिनं श्रद्धया आचर्यन्ताम् —
स्व-विकासाय, समृद्धये, स्वयमेव दैवीअनुग्रहार्थं च।”
विनम्रप्रार्थना -
सर्वेभ्यः पूज्येभ्यः धन्येभ्यश्च मातृभ्यः, पितृभ्यः, प्रियबालेभ्यः, कुमारिकाभ्यश्च चिरं स्नेहपूर्वकं निवेदनम् —
*“सनातनधर्मानुयायिनां ललाटे भूषणं धार्यताम्।”*
शास्त्रवचनम् —
*ललाट-शून्यः श्मशानसमानः।*
अर्थात् — “यस्यान् ललाटं शून्यं भवति, स श्मशानवत् भवति।”
शब्दविभागः —
• ललाटम् — कपोलमध्यभागः (forehead)
• शून्यः — रिक्तः (empty, void)
• श्मशानम् — दाहस्थानम् (cremation ground)
• समानः — तुल्यः (equal, alike)
अतः तस्य *भावार्थः* —
*“यस्य ललाटं शून्यं, स श्मशानतुल्यः।”*
*अर्थः* —
यः ललाटे किंचित् न धारयति, स जीवन्मृतवत्।
अतः सर्वत्र गच्छन् अपि, ललाटे स्वपरम्परायाः चिह्नं कृपया धारयन्तु!
कृपया कार्यालयं प्रति गच्छन् अपि, तिलकं मा अपाकुर्यात्।
“धार्यतां, गर्वेण धार्यताम्!”
Please be and feel proud to be born in this life on this Bharatakandam as a Hindu.
धारयितुं शक्यम् —
• भस्मम्
• त्रिपुण्ड्रम्
• विभूतिम्
• नामम्
• ऊर्ध्वपुण्ड्रम्
• गोपीचन्दनम्
• तिलकम्
Have any one of the above divine mark. Even the widows can (should) have one, because no where in our Sastras (to the best of my limited knowledge: my revered guruvarya, Ganapadi Shriman Narendra Kaprevarya may clarify /elaborate) it is said that they should be without a mark of divine chandanam or Vibhuti or Srichuranam.
I don’t know since when it was imposed or which sastra / where in them it is said that a widow should not adore turmeric (haldi / மஞ்சள்) & kumkum (குங்குமம்)!!!
This might have been practiced with a divine intention for maintaining sanctity and most probably to show reverence by others for a widow in any civilized society by not interfering in her solitude, unpolluted devotion to god, and surely not to alienate them from the mass - as a few ignorant fanatics think and wrongly practice.
My humble request to all the educated (if one really feels that he/she is educated, not merely having paper degrees only but true to their Atma) to practice and preach that Widows are also mothers, sisters and are the same creation who belong to the 50% of population and essentially to be revered more than any normal female. How a mother or sister or daughter can be an अमड्गलम् for any event that leads to creation or progress or prosperity? Why we do not practice the same for a widower!!!!
Think and let’s change our outlook and practice in reality that goddess Lakshmi remains Lakshmi only whether she is with SriVishnu or alone, and more reverable & adorable, especially when she is alone. All creations, including human (the least populated than all other creations on this earth by god) are born as per their Purva Janma(s) sath- & Dush- karmas and enjoy & suffer on their own. Let’s (having born due to purvakarmas & not getting moksham/salvation) pinpoint and reducible any for experiencing (redeeming in this life) their purvajanma karmas in any form (one is becoming a widow or widower like becoming poor, foodless, sick, failures, etc).
I may be rational in my thoughts and actions to a few pseudo-sanatani but if such a person also thinks he/she can understand how long one can continue in this world as a dhampati? It’s merely an answer / order by time (कालचक्ररहस्यमेव)!!!
कृपया चिन्तयन्तु!
Again one will react good or bad as destined by his/her Purva Janma कर्मफलम् only.
I nor you or any or even if Narayana desires, individuals’ कर्मफलम् cannot be changed. That’s what in Vishnupuranam lord Mahavishnu explains SriGaruda for his inquiry on Jeevan and its karma phalam, type of sins and divine justice, as punishments to the sinners.
Infact, this very world and having born as a creation and undergoing dukha and sufferings is itself the narakam (hell / punishment for our bad deeds done in earlier lives). क्षम्यताम्।
…
I got a little distracted in my thoughts. Sorry.
Let me now come back to my main subject under proposed discussion this morning:
“ललाटं मा रिक्तं कुर्यात्।”
एवं कृत्वा भगवत्कृपां लभध्वं,
धर्मनिष्ठां दर्शयध्वं,
हिन्दुधर्मस्य गौरवं स्थापयध्वम्।
धन्यवादाः।
सस्नेहं
श्रीश्रीरामानुजाचार्यस्य दासः च,
