TILAK
/ TIKA, BINDI AND SINDOOR
Tilak
/ Tika
History
:
Tilak
/ Tika is a mark on forehead done by a kumkum (red powder) or sandalwood
paste.
To
undertand Tilak / Tika we have to first understand history and how
it all started and for this we need to understand Aryans and their
history.
1.
Aryans :
Aryan
is a term which applied only to Angiras / Ali and his descendants
this is the reason why Sumerians, Persians, Akkadians, Alexander
the Great, Cyrus, Darius, Achilles and Angiras / Ali descendants
living in India are called Aryans.
To
understand Aryans history Lieutenant Colonel Laurence Austine Waddell
books are very important.

The
history goes back to approx. 3378 – 3349 BCE.
There
were 2 main cult in past. 1st is of Sun worshippers known as Aryans
who were of Angiras / Ali dynasty and 2nd is Moon Cult.
1.
The Sun worshipper Aryans :
The
early dynasty of Angiras / Ali came from Danube Valley to Asia Minor.
They were the wolf tribe, the seafarer wolves and were Swans the
Red. They were the early Aryans and the Sun worshippers. They used
symbols such as Cross +, Swastik and Hawk or Eagle to represent
Sun.
The
location of first Aryan King Thor / Indra / Adam (Great Grandson
of Angiras / Ali) is located at Troy district of Mount Ida bordering
Dardanelles in North-western Asia Minor.

2.
The Moon Cult :
The Moon Cult tribe known as Chaldees and Edenites of Wodan and
El worshipped Moon including Mother and Son (Matriarchst) cult i.e.
worshipping Goddess, devil, tortoise, bull, scorpio, crocodile and
snake worship, performing human sacrifice, witchcraft, etc.
Amazons
were mainly part of Moon Cult tribe but also contained Goths (Aryans).
There
were 4 categories of Amazon women warriors in Eden :
•
Asa (Goth),
• Elf,
• Daughters of Dvalin Dwarf and,
• Chaldees

The
Moon Cult tribe lived in Eden. The Edda definitely places Eden at
the Upper Euphrates called Uimer, the Omiras of the Greeks.
The
history of Amazons starts from Eden located on Upper Euphrates.
There
are 2 Edens. One is located at Upper Euphrates the second is located
at Indus Valley (Sindhu) which was formed by King Thor / Indra /
Adam.

Location of Eden at Indus Valley (Sindhu) :
Lieutenant
Colonel Laurence Austine Waddell in his book "The Indo-Sumerian
Seals Deciphered" writes the following :
Place-names
on the Indus Valley Seals and their Identification.
Disclosing
"Edin" as Sumerian city-state on Indus, with capital "Khaitisiga"
at Mohenjo Daro as "City of the Hittites" and "Saki-Land"
as "S'aka-Land" of the Maga (or Magi) Sun-worshippers.
We
now discover the location and identity in the Indus Valley of the
chief place-names in the seals: "Edin" and "Khaiti-siga"
and "Saki".
"Edin"
the place-name most frequently recorded in these seals, we have
already found recorded in the documents of the Early Sumerians and
in the identical monogram as in these seals. There we have seen
that the Sumero-Phoenician king Uruas (the Haryas'wa of the Vedas
and Indian Epics the so-called "Ur-Nina" of Assyriologists)
of S'irlapur on the Persian Gulf about 3100 B.C. claimed to have
"built" or "caused to be built" two Edins as
"Forts of the House of the Sun-god".
One
of these was "Gu-Edin" in the Mesopotamian delta a few
miles to the north-west of his seaport capital of S'irlapur and
it continued to be regarded as so sacred that his grandson restored
it, and Gudia (Gadhi of the Indian Epics and the "Gudea"
of Assyriologists) about 2400 B.C. in one of his official documents
confirmed its freedom from the payment of taxes thus showing that
it was a shrine and not the name of the province of S'irlapur or
Lagash as usually supposed.
The
other Edin or "Edin" proper the site of which has hitherto
been unknown we then found was a distant tributary state of King
Uruas under the governorship of his eldest son and successor its
"capturer" Lord (A-)Mad-gal the Mudgala of the Vedas and
Epics. We further found that this Edin was described by the Sumerians
as "The captured Land of Edin" wherein the word for "Land"
is spelt by the word-sign Sakh which possibly connoted the "S'aka-Land"
(or Land of the Sacae, Getae or Goths) of the Indian Epics and the
especial seat of the Maga (or Magi) Sun worshippers in the Indus
Valley.
We
further found that this outlandish Edin was also called by the Sumerians
"The Land (or city) of Saki of the temple (or house) of The
Slave-girl" and was also defined as "Land (or city) of
the Priest-queen of Bel". And we found that two of the seals
on decipherment proved to be actually inscribed as those of "The
Slave-girl" (Seals IV. and XV.).
3.
History of Tilak / Tika :
The
Indian prefixes Vri and Dhri were obviously added for descriptive
purposes by the early Indian scribes who converted the Sumerian
syllabic pictographic writing into the Indian alphabetic writing.
For Vri in Sanskrit = "to cover, check, conceal" that
is the sense of "a seal" which this Tekhi literally means
in Sumerian. And Dhri has the analogous meaning of "keep down,
restrain, preserve" (which are also secondary meanings of this
Sumerian " seal" word.
Indeed Dri-Tikr is a Sanskrit word for" seal" and we shall
find that Sanskrit frequently intruded an r Cockney-wise into the
old Aryan or Sumerian roots.
This
Takhi "seal" word is also obviously the source of the
modern Indian Tika for the caste mark on the forehead of Hindus.
And incidentally this Sumerian "seal" word, which has
also meaning "written tablet" is as I have shown under
its Dikh, Tikh and Dukh values, the parent of English words "Tick-et,
Tok-en, Dock-et, Docu-ment," etc., and the corresponding words
of this form and meaning which run throughout the Aryan family of
languages I-another instance of the Sumerian origin of the Aryan
languages.
When Adam / Thor / Ikshvaku married Eve there was peace between
Sun and Moon cult and after death Adam / Thor / Ikshvaku Moon cult
and its customs merged with Sun cult the best example of it is Egypt
and Purans written in Hinduism.
This
Tilak / Tika does not exist in other Aryan cultures and countries
like of Persia, Egypt, Iraq, etc. the reason behind this that the
Sun worshipper Aryans and Moon worshippers (Chaldees and Edenites)
have Brahmins (priests) and Kshatriyas (warriors). When these people
travelled outside Near East they needed a way to easily identify
each other and hence the mark of Tilak / Tika came into existance.
The
Aryan Brahmins and Kshatriyas use kumkum (red powder) while other
communities and religions in India use kumkum (red powder) and/or
sandalwood paste.
There
are primary 2 types of Tilak / Tika in Angiras / Ali dynasty Aryans
first is round and second is straight.
Tilak
/ Tika used by Aryan Brahmins
Tilak
/ Tika used by Aryan Kshatriyas
The
Round Tilak / Tika represents Sun and the straight Tilak / Tika
represents Snake because the Moon cult (Chaldees and Edenites) also
worshipped Snakes which we can see in egyptian statues.
The
Sun worshipping Aryans i.e. Angiras / Ali dynasty married within
the priestly community and kept Sun as their symbol in form of Tilak
/ Tika and the Kshatriyas born out marriage between Thor and Eve
(Eve who was a Aryan Goth but was raised by Moon cult (Chaldees
and Edenites)) kept Snake as they symbol in form of Tilak / Tika.
The
Kshatriyas had done matrimonial as well as various other alliance
with Moon cult (Chaldees and Edenites).

In
Ancient India (Bharat) as time passed by various new religions were
formed by copying the Aryan scriptures and because they were impressed
by Bhramins and Kshatriyas of Angiras / Ali Dynasty known as Aryans
they copied this Tilak / Tika mark on their forehead and modified
it.
There
are various other styles of Tilak / Tikas but I am only showing
which are widely used.
This
way if you are Indian you can see the Tilak / Tika and come to know
which religion / community they represent.
4.
Various types of Bindi used by Indian Woman representing Sun and
Crescent Moon :
Bindi is put on by married as well as unmarried Aryan woman in India.
This is now copied by women of other religion and communities and
now they also apply Bindi on their forehead.

are various other various other shapes of Bindi used for fashion
purpose but the above Bindi images shown are used since ancient
times.
5.
Sindoor used by Aryan Indian Woman representing Snake :
Sindoor
is put on by only married Aryan woman in India. This is now copied
by women of different communities and now some of them also apply
Sindoor on their head.
We
can see statues of Royal Queens of Egypt have Snake on their crown.
Aryan
Kings also ruled Egypt and we can find a transfer of culture from
West to East by Aryans.
In
India Aryans call their wife Queen of their heart and house. Whenever
a newly wedded bride enters the house she is given the house keys
and Safe Locker / Cash locker keys and every decision related to
house is taken by the wife hence, in a way she is the Queen of the
House and hence, Sindoor on head represents Snake as symbol of Queen.
