The second set of three days of Navratri are Lakshmi related – gentle but materially-oriented goddesses. Devi is adorned in turmeric during these three days. Sadhguru tells us about the importance of turmeric as an ingredient in kumkum. We also present Sounds of Isha’s Bhairavi Stotram rendition.
Sadhguru: The important ingredient in kumkum is turmeric – if it is properly made. Nowadays, many places are just giving chemical powder. If you want to chemically poison yourself, you can use that. But at the Linga Bhairavi an important ingredient is turmeric. Turmeric and lime together makes this. Turmeric is very beneficial. It has phenomenal benefits. It creates a certain vibrance around you, which changes the nature of the aura and it creates a certain glow.
