Traditional Context
Traditional Context
In the Vedic and yogic traditions, fragrance has long been used to prepare the atmosphere for worship and inner communion. Offering incense at the altar — whether in a temple or a home shrine — is an act of attention. It marks the beginning of practice. Yogananda's own altar at the Self-Realization Fellowship included incense as part of formal preparation for meditation.
FAQ
FAQ
How long does each stick burn?
Approximately 60–70 minutes per stick under normal indoor conditions.
Is it safe to use indoors?
Yes. Because these sticks use no charcoal or synthetic accelerants, they produce less smoke than most commercial incense. Normal ventilation is sufficient.
What is the difference between the scents?
Sweet Sandalwood is grounding and traditional — the most commonly used in Indian devotional practice. Mixed Flower and Pure Rose are lighter and floral. Red Lotus is subtle and earthy. All are suitable for the meditation altar.
How should I store them?
Keep in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight. The natural ingredients can absorb moisture if left in a humid environment.
