    Dear Madam,

    We are from Vaishnava's community applying Gopichandana while Sandhyavandana as specified place as per our priests and religious guru. We have Vibhuti also at home , because when we are going to Shiva Temple we are getting as prasad. My question is my 10 year old son having cold during morning time when he wake up and till he ready for School , I would like to know Vibhuti where should I apply and when ?

    Kindly suggest and once again for your articles

    Regards

    Sir,
    Make sure the vibhuti is good quality if you want to apply or medical reasons.
    Let me first tell you, I have no medical knowledge.
    Try applying on the nose & behind the ears. Also on top of the head - just that spot.
    Beyond these, I am not capable of suggesting!!
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    C

    Dear Chitra ma'am
    i will start applying vibhuthi as you suggested.
    It is conicidence that you should mention the ear-lobe and yoga in the same thread. I read about the "thopukaranam" and its benefits in an article; I am sure you also must have posted it here in IL.
    I thinks schools should start teaching yoga to their students-it will benefit in more ways than one if children can start this exercise from that tender age.

    Dear Chitra mam,

    Thanks for the information regarding applying Vibuthi. Not only this, heard from one kalashebham that we should apply this because all the evil things which we cross across in our day to day life will not harm us and it is important that we apply this everyday.

    Dear Pavi,
    Thanks for coming here.
    Yes, vibhuti safeguards as well - but that will not be a scientific reason!
    Love,

    Shree, there is an address given in many tamil magazines for pure vibhoothi made from cow-dung. I think, we cannot depend on the quality offered in shops.
