Greetings:
 
Thank you for the message, It explains reason for the day to day ritual people do.I would be really glad if you can specify me any literature which speaks about Supreme Lord's ThirumaNN.I read some parts of Sri Srinivasa Puranam where it speaks about the campher on Lord's chin,likewise any literature which talks about his ThirumaNN.
 
Thank you,
Prem

Subject: Re: [Oppiliappan] Perumal's Symbol "Thirumann": Why ?

Dear SrI Prem:

On our foreheads , the symbol of ThirumaNN
represents the two (sacred ) feet of the Lord and
MahA Lakshmi present in between as SrI ChoorNam.

On Lord's (archA Moorthy's) forehead , You will see either
Tilakam or ThirumaNN . Tilakam is for alankAram
(decoration ) for PerumAL .

If ThirumaNN is seen on the archA Moorthys , it certainly does not
represent Lord's feet on His own forehead . It represents however
the upward (Urdhva) aspect symbolizing the upper supreme abode of 
His (SrI Vaikuntam ) . It is the desirable goal for the bound chEthanams
(Bhaddha Jeevans) . Here at SrI Vaikuntam ,  He  resides as SrIman
NaarAyaNa ( Parama Padha Naathan) with His divine consort ,
MahA Lakshmi (the Yellow or red SrI ChoorNam ). SaasthrAs weigh
however in favor of yellow SrI ChoorNam over the red version .

There are a lot of PramANams for the wearing of
Hari Paadha AakAram on one's forehead ( AtharvaNa Vedam ,
Smruthis , PurANams , MahOpanishad , Kada Saakai vachanam/
"dhruthOrdhva PuNDram " ). The adornment of the ThirumaNN
increases our Daasathva Jn~Anam ( we are servitors to the dhivya
dampathis always ). The performance of Japam ,dhyAnam and
Homam performed without adornment of Urdhva PuNDram
will not yield the desired phalans . Such performances will
yield in anarTams. This is backed up by BhOdhAyana ,
PaarAsarya SamhithA , SrI Naaradheeyam et al .
