Use of camphor in worship: In Indian tradition, some special objects have importance in religious rituals. These items are often used in worship.
You must have noticed that if any puja is performed at home, camphor is used in it. Do you know the reason behind this and why camphor is used?
Let us tell you that when camphor burns, no residue is left. It is considered a symbol of selflessness and dedication.
It means that the person burns his ego and impurities and surrenders himself at the feet of God. Burning camphor spreads a pleasant aroma in the environment and is considered a symbol of positivity and peace.
Burning camphor makes the environment fragrant, which shows that the person is committed to abandoning his ego and spreading positivity. It also reflects the determination to spread knowledge and light.
The camphor flame illuminates the face of the Lord, symbolizing the presence of divine light in the life of the devotee. Fire is considered a symbol of purification and hence the lighting of the Aarti removes impurities. With its help the worshiper can connect with his soul and God.
There is also a belief that the aroma of camphor removes negative energy and creates an atmosphere of peace and purity. Aarti is believed to be not only a part of worship but also a process of spiritual purification.
The tradition of burning camphor during puja rituals dates back to the Vedic period. The use of camphor in worship symbolizes dedication, positivity and connection to ancient traditions, making it an important part of Hindu rituals.
