IMPORTANCE OF ''CHENDOOR'' TILAK.....AND BENEFITS

All Devotees Of Hanuman Will Be Offered The "chendoor" (orange Coloured Vermilion) In Every Hanuman Temple.once Sita Maiyya Was Placing A "chendoor" Tilak On Her Forehead. When Hanuman Asked Her The Reason, She Informed Him That She Was Using The Chendoor So That Her Husband Sri Ram Would Be Blessed With Good Health And Have A Long Life. So Enamoured Was Hanuman After Hearing This That He Smeared His Entired Body With "chendoor" So That Lord Ram Would Be Blessed With Immortality. Such Was His Devotion. Till Today, In All The Hanuman Temples Across The Country, Once The Idol Is Bathed And Abhishekams Are Over, The Priests Smear The Idol With A Mixture Of "chendoor Powder" And Oil. Devotees Place The Chendoor On Their Forehead To Be Blessed With Lord Hanuman’s Grace.

Hanuman’s Tail Is Very Strong And Extremely Powerful. Hence, Placing A Tilak On The Tail (with A Mixture Of Sandalwood Paste And Vermilion) (chandan + Kumkum) Is Supposed To Bring Immense Benefits To Those Who Do It With Faith.

Hanumanji Is Fond Of Butter And Betel Leaves. There Is A Lore Behind This.

When Lord Hanuman Assured Sita Maiyya That Lord Sri Ram Would Free Her From The Bondage Of The Evil Ravan, Sita Maiyya Was So Pleased That She Plucked A Betel Leaf From The Tree, Put It On Hanuman’s Forehead And Blessed Him With Immortality.all Those Who Seek Success In Life And Wish To Be Free From Fear Pray To Hanumanji And Appease Him With A Betel Leaf Garland.

Butter Generally Gives Coolness To The Body.the Legend Has It That After Fighting The Demons Of Lanka In The War, Hanumanji’s Body Needed Some Cooling.so, His Body Is Smeared With Butter Even Today. As Butter Melts, Hanumanji Is Also Pleased.we Can Also Interpret That By Offering Butter To Lord Hanuman, All Our Problems Will Slip Away Just Like Anything That Is Put On Butter Slips.
