adiyen asks devarer i.e karthik ji to reply whose katha was he hearing to ? do you belong to Sri Vaishnava Sampradaya ? briefly explain the context in which the non-usage of agarbatti is mentioned as adiyen didn't get it ..
Traditionally as far adiyen is concerned dhUpa was commonly used instead of agarbatti's but nowadays agarbatti's are too commonly used in temple service.
Hare Krsna Prabhuji,
PAMHO.
I do not know the shastra behind it - can tell you what I see and do.
In ALL ISKCON temples, the arati at all times begins with offering of dhoop sticks. This is what we do at home also. Regarding not using agarbatti because of the bamboo sticks attached to them, Lord Krsna used bamboo flutes in Vrindavan.
I do not see a problem in using dhoop sticks.
Haribol,
Your servant,
Rashmi
Thank you Mataji.......for the reply.
Even i have seen pujaris using agarbattis in ISKCON temples.......and so was just clearing my doubt .
PAMHO.......
Hari bol!
