Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hi Angel, Lighting 2 times camphor in a day, keeps all evil away, all wise men since all ages,say, Light 2 times deepak (Lamp)and live life with abandon and gay. Do You know camphor is also kept in pocket at times when one has to keep infections away,like sore eyes etc.in family, and you wish to save yourself from same. While visiting any lane in a town or city, which is notorius to be abounded by spirits and ghosts,one may keep garlic on person, or in absence keep camphor too, to play safe . Camphor when burnt, emits a very good smell, which creates a divine atmosphere in the place. It creates a mood to do pooja. 2 times of burning camphor or Lamp, at Pooja time , in morning and evening arati, keeps the evil eye away from the house. regards, Bhaskar. www.shrikrishnajyotish.com , angel <angelgoel wrote: > > hi all > > what is benefit of camphor lighting while performing > puja in house (along with lamp and dhoop)? > should it be lit in morning and evening *both times* ? > > thanks > angel > > > > ________ > India Answers: Share what you know.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 dear angel, camphor can be lit at any time when puja is done. u can go thro the illustration given by Swami Sivananda. good wishes, k.gopu Incense Sticks: Hindu Symbols - Bells, Lights, Dhupa, Camphor And Sandal Paste By Sri Swami Sivananda Bells, Lights, Dhupa, Camphor And Sandal Paste Bells are rung in temples while doing Puja, to shut out the external sounds and to make the mind inward and concentrated. Lights are waved before the Deity. This denotes that the Lord is Jyotis-Svarupa. He is all-light. The devotee says: - O Lord! Thou art the self-effulgent Light of the universe. Thou art the light in the sun, moon and fire. Remove the darkness in me by bestowing your divine light. May my intellect be illumined. - This is the significance of waving lights. Dhupa or scented sticks are burnt before the Deity. The smoke spreads the whole room. It acts as a disinfectant. Burning of Dhupa denotes that the Lord is all-pervading and that He fills the whole universe by His living presence. It is to remind this fact that Dhupa is burnt. The devotee prays: - O Lord! Let the Vasanas and Samskaras dormant in me vanish like the smoke of this Dhupa and become ashes. Let me become stainless. - Burning of camphor denotes that the individual ego melts like the camphor and the Jivatman becomes one with the supreme Light of lights. The sandal paste reminds the devotee that he should, in his difficulties, be as patient as the sandal. Sandal emanates sweet odour when it is rubbed on a hard surface and made into a paste. So also the devotee should not murmur when difficulties arise, but on the other hand, remain cheerful and happy and emanate sweetness and gentleness like the sandal. He should not hate even his enemy. This is another precept we learn from this. Though the sandalwood is crushed and made into a paste, it silently wears out emanating only very sweet odour. One should not wish evil even to his enemy. ______________________________\ ____ Choose the right car based on your needs.
