Guest guest Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 PRIYA BHAGAVAT BANDUVULLARA! RISHI VANI - 39 COURTESY: SHRI RAPARLA JANARADHANA RAO GANDHA DWARAM DHURA DHARSHAM --SREE SOOKTAM This is the mantra that is chanted in every holy ritual while offering incense to the Lord. The sages of yore in those early Vedic days took great care of the ecological order. In every temple or on any occasion of worship or a festival, exhilarating incense burning, camphor, musk, and other ingredients producing fragrance is the " sine qua non " in every holy worship. The atmosphere saturated with such fragrance, naturally brings about congenial atmosphere for devotional activities. Science indicates that sweet incense, promotes deeper breathing helping in more intake of oxygen and consequently improved degree of health. In some Catholic Christian Churches incense burnt in caskets. In and around mosques also, Muslims burn agar and Sambrani on red coals. The mantra here stresses the importance of incense (gandha) and we thus find in all worship rooms of the house. This Mantra is chanted as invocation to the Holy Lord at the time of worship.
