Posted by nischalinn on December 3, 2012 at 12:57pm in Krishna

Hare krishna,

While worshiping how many incense should we light? Some where I heard we should light 3 incense that signifies:

1. dharma

2. karma

3. aatma

but I am not sure about this?

Please clarify.

Hari bol!!

    my humble obeisances Nischalinn Prabhu, 

    i never heard about the significance of the numbers of the incenses. It is interesting. In the Temple daily Mangala Arati we used to offer 3. But on Sunday feast Arati 5 and long lasting incenses. It is according to the crowd.

    But at home i offer only one :)

    Your servant,

        hare krishna,

        dear devotees.

        I've found out that lighting 3 incense signifies our BODY, MIND and SOUL. 

        Please suggest if there are any other reasons too. 

        Hare krishna!!!
