CHATURBHUJI TILAK
CHATURBHUJI TILAK Chaturbhuji or four-armed is one of the many sects of Vaishnavism. Chaturbhuji is an epithet of Vishnu. The founder of this sect was taking part in a feast when his loin cloth came undone behind and the others said to him that as this had happened, he had become impure at the feast. He replied, "Let him to whom the ‘dhoti’ belongs tie it up" and immediately four arms sprang from his body, while two continued to take food, the other two tied up his loin cloth behind. Thus, it was recognised that the Chaturbhuji Vishnu had appeared in him and he was venerated. Chaturbhujis wear an all-white tilak in the form of fork with the bottom of the fork is extended to the bottom of the forehead.
