SCIENCE OF WORSHIP

OUR HINDU CUSTOM OF WORSHIP HAS MANY SYMBOLS. RECENTLY I CAME ACROSS SCIENCE OF THEM:                      

• BELLS – SHUT OUT THE EXTERNAL SOUNDS AND TO MAKE THE MIND INWARD TO CONCENTRATE.
                                                                                

• INCENSE – THE SMOKE SPREADS THROUGH THE ROOM – IT ACTS AS DISINFECTANT.BURNING OF INCENSE DENOTED LORD IS ALL- PERVADING;

 HE FILLS UNIVERSE BY HIS PRESENCE.


• CAMPHOR – DENOTED INDIVIDUAL EGO MELTS

• SANDALWOOD – IS GROUND INTO PASTE – IT REMINDS THAT THE DEVOTEE SHOULD BE PATIENT IN HER DIFFICULTIES, AND YET REMAIN CHEERFUL AND HAPPY LIKE THE ODOUR OF THE SANDALWOOD.
