Premanand Maharaj: Yellow clothes, sandalwood tilak on the forehead and charming gentle face... Premanand Maharaj has ruled the hearts of people with his looks and knowledge. Premanand Maharaj is one of the great devotees of Shri Radha Rani. In his sermons, Maharaj Ji clears the doubts of the people and inspires them to follow the path of devotion. Seeing Premanand Maharaj, people often wonder why he applies sandalwood tilak on his forehead. Now, he himself has explained the reason behind it.

Importance of Tilak on forehead

Recently, a devotee asked Maharaj Ji whether applying Tilak is a show off or not, and what is the significance of applying Tilak on the forehead, as he also applies Tilak on the entire forehead. Premanand Maharaj gave a beautiful answer to this question and said that applying Tilak is not a show, but a symbol of our worship, reverence and devotion towards God.

Why does Premanand Maharaj apply tilak?

Premanand Maharaj said, "The sandalwood tilak we apply on our forehead is not for show; rather, it has been ordered in the Acharya tradition to apply tilak on the forehead. The tilak on our forehead is not an adornment, but an offering to Radha Rani. Applying tilak on the forehead is a symbol of devotion."

Symbol of connection with God

Premanand Maharaj further explained that the necklace we wear has been given to us by our Guru, the rosary has been given to us by our Guru, and the clothes have also been given to us by our Guru. All these are symbols of our worship, not show off. All these things are symbols of our devotion, symbols of our connection with God. Maharaj Ji said, “If we think that we should not wear Tilak or Kanthi so that people do not consider us pretentious, then our worship will remain incomplete and we will be insulted.”
