  • Additional information

    Camphor is burnt to perform Aarti (circular movement or display of the lamp in reverence before the deity or the idol) before the deity. Just as God rotates the sun and the moon around you, you imitate the same and thus offer and move the camphor lamp before God to bring joy to you. This is also to express the prayer that the light of our life should never go astray from God and should always be centered and revolve around God. It is with this deep feeling that you perform aarti. The breathing of Aarti wakes up the Chakras, some say. The smoke from these balls purify the entire atmosphere.  


    Puja kapoor has a unique place in the Hindu ritual of traditional Pooja or any other festive or customary occasion. It is pure white in colour, and when it is burnt it takes on the hue of agni (fire), and it burns itself out completely, without residue. Lighting camphor before God symbolizes that if we burn our illusion or ego with the fire of true knowledge, we shall merge with the God, leaving no residue.


    Significane of the Camphor Flame

    Camphor flame inspires the devotee to spread warmth and fragrance through ones life, burning away energetically to eventually allow the focus solely on the almightly without any trace of existence or ego.


    At the end of the aarti one places his hands over the flame and touches his eyes and forehead which signifies may the light which illumined the Lord light up my vision and may my thoughts be as pure and beauAful as this camphor flame

    Introduction to Camphor in Hindu Rituals

    Camphor, known as "Karpoor" in many Indian languages, holds a revered place in Hindu religious practices, particularly in puja (worship) and havan (fire ritual). Vedic Vaani™'s Kapoor Balls exemplify the spiritual and symbolic essence of camphor, making it an indispensable element in traditional Hindu rituals.

    The Significance of Using Camphor in Aarti

    Aarti is a profound ritual performed in reverence to the deity, involving the circular movement or display of a lamp before the deity's idol. The burning of camphor is a pivotal part of this ceremony. Just like the sun and moon revolve around us, burning camphor imitates this cosmological movement, symbolizing our devotion and prayers for a life that revolves around divine guidance. The act of burning camphor during Aarti not only pleases the deity but also is believed to awaken the chakras, cleanse the atmosphere, and keep the practitioner's life centered around divine consciousness.

    Pure Camphor: Symbolism and Physical Properties

    The pure, white color of camphor represents purity and when ignited, it embodies the hue of fire (agni). One of the most remarkable properties of camphor is that it burns itself out completely without leaving any residue. This characteristic is metaphorical, suggesting that when our illusions and egos are burnt with the fire of true knowledge, we merge completely with the divine, leaving no trace of our ego behind.

    Imparting Warmth and Fragrance

    The camphor flame serves as an inspiration to devotees, symbolizing the spread of warmth and fragrance throughout life. Burning energetically, it eventually allows the focus to solely be on the Almighty, devoid of any trace of ego or individual existence. The end of the Aarti involves devotees placing their hands over the flame, then touching their eyes and forehead. This act signifies the light of the Lord illuminating the devotee's vision and purifying their thoughts.

    The Shiva Yajur Mantra: Karpoor Gauram

    The significance of camphor is beautifully encapsulated in the Shiva Yajur Mantra, often recited during the use of camphor in worship:

    Original Sanskrit Mantra

    करपूर गौरम करूणावतारम संसार सारम भुजगेन्द्र हारम | सदा वसंतम हृदयारविंदे भवम भवानी सहितं नमामि ||
