Benefits of Vibhuti

According to Hindu mythology, Devotees will get Vibhuti benefits in different ways. Devotees are mainly wearing Vibhuti to worship Lord Shiva at the time of prayers especially at the evening prayers. The symbolic significance is that while Vibhuti is applying on the forehead, devotees will get divine energy and it spreads everywhere. At the same time, negative energy will eliminate from our body. One can attain power by applying Vibhuti. It doesn't mean about the physical or mental power, but a human being can be powerful while they influence others. That means by wearing Vibhuti, people can influence their nearby without speaking. Vibhuti has the ability to release people from diseases and evil powers. Sometimes Vibhuti will act as a protector to someone from panic incidents. The belief is that Vibhuti or Bhasma means to destroy the arrogance and ego from our mind. While going to Shiva temple, we will get Vibhuti as "Prasad" and it also signifies a reminder to the people that "one day you will be ash too". Applying Vibhuti on different parts of the body has particular aspects. One who wears Vibhuti or Bhasma at throat pit represents one can receive life as love. While we are applying bhasma at chest means that one can receive life as power. Hindu belief is that applying at the middle of eyebrows receive life as knowledge. Vibhuti also has Ayurvedic medicinal values mainly to prevent headaches and cold. Lord Shiva devotees are applied Vibhuti as three lines on the forehead and that three lines represent the three characters of human beings. The first line of Vibhuti represents the removal of pride. The second line indicates the removal of ignorance and the third line shows the removal of bad deeds.
