Mahakaleshwar Temple, Ujjain
Bhasma Aarti Significance: The Mahakaleshwar temple of Ujjain is a wonderful and unique tradition of morning Bhasma Aarti daily, which devotees from all over the country and abroad come to see. The specialty of this aarti is that in this, Lord Mahakal is not decorated with sandalwood, flowers or jewelery, but with Bhasma. At the time of this Aarti, both men and women can attend, but you must have often seen that women appear at this time by putting a veil. After all, what is the reason for this?
Importance of Bhasma Aarti
Bhasma Aarti is considered the most beloved Aarti of Lord Shiva. In this, Mahakal is adorned with the cremation of the crematorium. This Bhasma is a symbol of the impermanence of the universe and it shows that the last truth of life is death, after which everything is consumed. Devotees from all over the world come to Ujjain to see this Aarti.
Women’s veil cause
According to religious beliefs, the main reason behind the practice of women pouring veils during the Bhasma Aarti is the formless form of Lord Shiva.
Respect for formless nature: It is believed that at the time of Bhasma Aarti, Lord Shiva is in his formless form, which is also called his vigor. It is considered taboo for women to see this form directly. This practice is played to respect Shiva and respect his powerful nature.
Visiting the essence of creation: Bhasma makeup is a symbol of the disinterest and non -contribution of Lord Shiva. This makeup is also a symbol of the fact that Lord Shiva is at the core of both creation and destruction of creation. During the Bhasma Aarti, women respect this form of God by closing their eyes or putting a veil.
Spiritual discipline: This practice is not only religious belief, but also a spiritual discipline. It teaches devotees that the philosophy of God is done not only with physical eyes, but with reverence and emotion. Putting a veil is a symbol that women are seeing God with their inner self.
Confluence of tradition and faith
This practice of putting a veil in Mahakal’s Bhasma Aarti is not only a rule, but a deep symbol of faith. It teaches us that in some religious rituals, following the tradition shows our reverence and respect for God. This practice is still played by millions of devotees without any question, which shows their unwavering faith and dedication.
