This prayer is usually repeated thrice, or until the entire congregation receives the sacred ash.
Vibhuti, or Sacred Ash, is distributed at the end of a devotional meeting session. Baba says Vibhuti is a constant reminder of the evanescence of the body, and all material objects, which, ultimately, reduce to ashes. The scriptures say Vibhuti is so named as it endows one with prosperity; Bhasma - "ashes" because it burns away all sins; Bhasitam - "brightened" because it increases one's spiritual splendor; Ksharam - "destruction" since it removes danger; and Raksha - "protector" for it is an armor against the machinations of evil spirits.
