Read more I love this and it is worshipable as the Gopis because it said to be from the Gop['s cosmetics. There is a Vedic story of a great sinful king his sins I won't mention here but he was saved from hell when some Gopichandana just fell on him from a devotee applying it to his body so its stated if someone just sees someone decorated with this tilak he is freed from all sinful reactions. I just mentioned a few glories here that are mentioned in Vedic literatures. But its stated also we are protected from the yamadutas just by applying this tilak and really everyone should apply it, it helps us to easily remember Krishna. I'm just quoting Vedic texts about the glories of Gopichandana.Read less

It had a very cooling, calming, relaxing and healing smell, it has wonderful medicinal and antiseptic properties and gives amazing results when applied on infected wounds, chest to treat cold, bruises and also reduces fever.
