Sounds like something carried over from the Hindu tradition where they consider that things like that lead you to a higher spiritual plain.  But we know that in Islam we aren't allowed to destroy our bodies like that or do anything to harm it in that way because our bodies belong to God not to us. People seem to do all kinds of things in commemoration for Muharram which aren't really from the sunnah...

and Allah knows best...

Es_Selam'un Aleykum ve Rahmetullahi ve Berakatuh,

It is highly condemned in the science of shariat;i remember a hadith about torturing to body which i may find it to you.The last prophet highly condemns these kind of acts...all i remember from the hadith was the last prohet describes the persons who can enter to the heaven and rejects(can not) some groups of their enters to Jannah who do these kinds of acts(branding the body parts)....Wa Salaam.
