हमारे #सनातन धर्म में #तिलक को बहुत महत्त्व दिया गया है,
इसी कारण हमारे पूर्वज कभी बिना तिलक नहीं रहते थे इतना ही नहीं कई लोग तो बिना तिलक के रात्रि में सोते भी नहीं थे क्योंकि उनका यही मानना था की क्या पता मौत कब आ जाये और कब इस शरीर को छोड़कर यमलोक प्रस्थान करना पड़े।

सनातन धर्म में प्रचलित सभी #परम्परों के पीछे कोई न कोई कारण आपको अवश्य मिलेगा।तिलक लगाने के वैज्ञानिक तथ्य भी है जो लोग तिलक लगाते है उनमे क्रोध की भावना कम होती हैं तथा तिलक मस्तिष्क को ढंडा बनाये रखता है।हमने अपने बड़े बुजुर्गो की तस्वीरों को देखा होगा।

उनकी तस्वीर में वे सदैव मस्तक पर तिलक लगाया करते थे।आज हिन्दुओं के घर से तिलक लगाने की परम्परा लुप्त हो चुकी है । परंतु हिन्दू परंपरा के अनुसार ललाट (माथे) को सुना नहीं रखना चाहिए।किसी प्रकार का तिलक या टीका अवश्य लगाना चाहिए।

सभी विभिन्न तिलकों में एक नाम आता है , #गोपी चंदन।
वैष्णव तिलक गोपी-चन्दन से लगाया जाता है।इस तिलक को देखते ही #भगवान श्री कृष्ण का स्मरण होता है। यह तिलक मानव शरीर को शुद्ध कर बुरे प्रभाव से रक्षा भी करता है।

#गर्ग संहिता के अनुसार जो मनुष्य प्रतिदिन गोपी-चंदन का वैष्णव तिलक धारण करता है। उसे एक हजार #अश्वमेघ यज्ञों तथा राजसूय यज्ञों का फल प्राप्त होता है। गोपी-चंदन से वैष्णव तिलक धारण करने वाला पापी मनुष्य भी भगवान कृष्ण के धाम, गोलोक वृन्दावन को प्राप्त होता है।
