ॐ श्री त्रिपुण्ड धारी * Om Shri Tripund Dhari * शिवा नमस्काराथा मंत्र - Shiva Namaskaratha Mantra
Shiva applies 3 horizontal lines of ash or Vibhooti on His
forehead.
These three lines represent
The 3 gunas namely Rajas, Tamas and Sattva.
Shiva is the three eyed God (Trinetra).
Shiva as the trikala_darshi ( who knows past , present and
future ).
The three karmas , namely Sanchitta, Prarabdha and Agami.
This shows that Shiva is beyond the 3 karmas. AND the devotees who do earnest
prayers to Shiva too will be relieved from the 3 karmas , and thus attain
Moksha / liberation.
Holy ash, also called ‘vibhuti’ or ‘bhasma’, protects man
against all evil forces. It is used in tantra, mantra, black magic, etc., to
guard the directions as self-protection.
The three horizontal stripes of ash on the forehead of Shiva
represent these three memories.
Human ash is applied to Jyotirlingas. This gives the message
that our physical body is not real, it is fake and it has to
go.
The holy ash derived from the fireplace of an Agnihotri is
the purest one. Agnihotra people keep fire burning all the
time during their
lives.
The ash obtained after the cremation of a corpse amidst
chanting of mantras is called human ash (Chitabhasm). In Varanasi ,
the Jyotirling Vishveshwar is always smeared with human ash.
The first line is equated to Garhapatya (the sacred fire in
a household kitchen), the A syllable of Om, the Rajas guna, the earth, the
external Atman, Kriyā – the power of action, the Rigveda, the morning
extraction of Soma, and Maheshvara.
The allegorical
significance of the "three ash lines", states Deussen, is that the
tradition sees them as streaks of three Vedic fires, three audible syllables of
AUM, three Guṇas, three worlds, three
Atmans, three Vedas and three aspects of Shiva.
The second streak of ash is a reminder of Dakshinagni (the
holy fire lighted in the South for ancestors), the sound U of Om, Sattva guna,
the atmosphere, the inner Atman, Iccha – the power of will, the Yajurveda, midday Soma extraction, and Sadasiva.
The third streak is the Ahavaniya (the fire used for Homa),
the M syllable in Om , the Tamas guna, Svarga – heaven,
the Paramatman – the highest Atman (Brahman), the power of perception, the
Samaveda, Soma extraction at dusk, and Shiva.
The "Tri" in the word Tripundra signifies the Triguna – Satva, Raja and Tama; Triloka – Bhuhu, Bhuvaha, Suvaha; Tritapa – Bbhoutika, Daivika, Adhyatmika. Tripundra is also called as Bhasma or Vibhuti. Tripundra also signifies Prana or life force and the three responsibilities performed by Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva respectively. Brahma represents Creation, Vishnu denotes Sustenance and Shiva connotes Destruction. Thus Tripundra symbolises Holy Trinity of Hindu Gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
Tripundra Applying Tripundra on the forehead is termed as "Bhasma dharana". The word Bhasma means calcined ash. Those who wear Tripundra on their forehead, often recite the mantras of the Lord while remembering its spiritual meaning and it is not just a sign of culture or identification.

Shiva meaning “The Auspicious One” is one of the three major
deities of Hinduism. He is worshiped as the Supreme God within Shaivism, one of
the three most influential denominations in contemporary Hinduism and is also
called “the Creator, the Preserver, the Transformer and the Destroyer”.
At the highest level, Shiva is regarded as formless,
limitless, transcendent, and unchanging.
Shiva has many benevolent and fearsome depictions.
In benevolent aspects, he is depicted as an omniscient Yogi
who lives an ascetic life on Mount Kailash
In his fierce aspects, he is often depicted slaying demons.
Shiva is also regarded as the patron god of yoga,meditation,
and arts. Shiva is known by several names – Mahadeva, Pashupati, Bhairava,
Vishwanath, Bhole Nath, Shambhu and Shankar. Shiva is the cosmic dancer and
also known as Nataraja, the Lord of Dancers. Hindus recognize Lord Shiva by
putting His shrine in the temple separate from those of other deities in the
form of Shivling.
Shiva Mantra essentially helps in eliminating enemies from
the path and hence it is also called the Raktha Kavach Mantra. Chanting of
Shiva mantra on Chaturdashi is considered very effective and auspicious.

of life.

power. They have the power to fulfill one’s desire and can be also used for attainment
