Going gaga over Arabian #oud /bakhoor?
Has it replaced #Agarbatti in your Mandir,home?
Did the dessert cult give traditions of Dhoop, Itr,Shringaar?
The largest producer of agarbatti in the world,Indian incense industry declined courtesy,foreign backed anti agarbatti campaign!
#DharmaSimplified #Thread that explains all you Must Know.
1- Mahavishnu Himself incarnated as Bhagwan Dhanvantri, who taught the secret of Medicine to Rishi Sushrut. Charak Samhita (Agnivesha Samhita revised by Charak ) & Sushrut Samhita mention en number of medicinal plants..
2- over 2,000 medicines, minerals
metal substances,herbal compounds,perfumery,alchemy; diseases,surgical techniques
sutures,extracting foreign objects kidney stones etc
An individual can recuperate by establishing,
‘connection between elements of life, food & body’ - #Ayurveda
3- Our Rishis knew the holistic significance of fragrance & fragrant substances.
For purification of the atmosphere, good rain & successful cultivation, they performed Hawan,Yajna, Agnihotras (everyday must for Hindus)
Chaturmasy Yajna were performed in the beginning of 3 seasons
4- In Bharat Varsh, Dhoopan, the #Ayurvedic fumigation has been an integral part of Raksha vidhi/ protection against microbes, a medicinal delivery through inhalation that penetrates the blood brain barrier.
16 fragrant Dhoops are a part of Shodshopchaar of our Devi Devtas.
5- Agar sold to the world as #Oudh is one of the Shodashopchar besides Tagar,Kushth,Shailaj,Sharkara
Nagarmatha,Ilaichi,Taj,Nakhnakhi
Mushir,Chandan,Kapoor,Jatamasi
Sadal,Guggal,Taali
#Agarbatti traditionally was only powdered agar wood,later rolled for ready dhoop hence the name
6-
Ashtagandha:
Agar tagar chandan yugal
kesar aur kapoor
Gaurochan aur mrigmida
ashtagandh bharpoor.

Agar/ oud
tagar
chandan yugal- red & white Chandan
kesar
kapoor
gaurochan
mrigmida/ musk

And the art of making perfumed oils/ Itra is imposed upon us as an izlamic one!
7- Agni Purana mentions over 150 fragrances used for bath by ancient Aryas.
Coming back to Dhoopan, its one of the Panchopachar offerings in Ishwar Pooja
Each offering represent 1 of the Panch Mahabhoot- 5 element, symbolically giving back to Existence what we are made of.
Neither use,nor burning bamboo is prohibited in #SanatanaDharma It has nothing to do with Pitrdosh
rather in ancient Gurukuls Acharyas, Brahmacharis carried dand
people grew pious bamboos (1 of the best conductors of electricity) near their houses as protection from thunderstorm.
9- Indian Bamboo grows fast (2 inches/hr)
adaptable to most climatic conditions
produces 30% more oxygen than other🌳
Foreign-funded forces broke backbone of our bamboo & #Agarbatti industry just like they did, cereal,oilseed,crop,trees,carpet,bidi,to promote foreign substitutes
10- In 2011, import duty on #Agarbatti & bamboo sticks was reduced to 10% from 30%, resulting in ₹546 crore worth of agarbatti in 2018, from ₹31 crore in 2009
& from ₹0.5 crore worth bamboo sticks in 2009 to ₹213 by 2018
Indian agarbatti manufactures were forced to shut down!
11
Till 2011 from our own resources, we met our demand of 1,172 metric tonne bamboo per day, we were largest producer of #Agarbatti till 2008 producing 208 billion sticks/yr worth over 4,163 crores!
Faux narratives of bamboo as
‘ill-fated,toxic,used in last rites etc
hit us hard!
12
India has 125 species of Bamboos From plantation to cutting & transporting
to making sticks charcoal,jiggat powdering
to making #Agarbatti ,sorting packaging & marketing
direct employment is created
Bamboo shoots are edible,used for fodder,construction,furniture, mats,baskets
Once kachchi-ghani sarson oil & ghee were attacked as bad-cholesterol carriers to sell their olive oil!
Eucalyptus was planted all over the country which swallowed salinity of our soil!
Import of plastic #Tiranga Khadi #Tricolor was hit!
Our industries are hit,people go jobless!
14
We as responsible Hindus, must ensure that home-grown industries are is not destroyed!
@narendramodi put restrictions on imports of #Agarbatti in mid 2019
which has revived many Indian units.

Lets do our bit & bring Satvik energy of the Agarbatti back in our lives🙏🏻
15
And why should you buy Arabian #Oudh be it chips, bakhoor or perfumes?
Its our #Agarwood tree- sold across the world as oudh!
The most valued woods in the world, our Agar wood trees’ve been put to near extinction by poachers who sell it for its perfumed resin at $1,00,000 + !
16
₹ 73-75 lakh/ kg for #Agarwood - meaning invaders, looters are till date looting us of our resources & ancient Hindu wisdom to earn billions; & we like fools fall for anti #Agarbatti campaign ?!

#DharmaSimplified 🙏🏻

बाबा केदारनाथ जी की डोली गुप्तकाशी, श्री काशी विश्वनाथ मंदिर पहुँची 🙏🏻
#Kedarnath
#जय_केदारनाथ जी 🙏🏻
#केदारनाथ मंदिर शीत ऋतु में बर्फ़ से ढँक जाता है, कपाट बंद कर दिए जाते हैं, केदारनाथ शिव जी के पंचमुखी विग्रह को 6 माह के लिए ऊखीमठ, ओंकारेश्वर मंदिर लेजा के पूजा जाता है और महाशिवरात्रि पर केदारनाथ धाम के कपाट खुलने का मुहुर्त निकाला जाता है।
#KedarnathDham
Darshan of Baba #Kedarnath ji’s Panchmukhi Vigrah that reached Gupt #KashiVishvnath ji today.
#JaiKedarnath
आप भी दर्शन कीजिए और धन्य हो जाइए 🙏🏻

This is #VyasGufa where Chiranjeevi Rishi Krishn Dwaipayan,known as #VedVyas for dividing the Vedas,did Sadhna Tapasya
#AdiShankaracharya also did Tapasya in this cave & taught Brahma Sutras & Upanishads to his disciples here
Its in the last village- Mana, on Indo Tibetan border ImageImage
In this cave itself, #VedVyas ji gave Darshan to #AdiShankaracharya & granted him 16 more years of life to
write commentaries on #BhagavadGita & Upnishads.
Unfortunate Hindus, who instead of absorbing those energies, come here to make reels & click selfies.. govts give a damn!
Sanctity of the precious sthal is marred by pink chuna painted on it, some cheap construction in & around it & the Macchi bazaar of uninformed Hindus- an example of ones who are hell bent upon ruining their heritage!
I sat in dhyan there for 3 consecutive days in spite of all! ImageImage

Thank you all my tweep family for your concern about us being in #Badrinath during the #RedAlert with mobile networks down.
Had the fortune of getting peaceful & long Darshans of #BadriVishal ji 3-4 times every day- sharing some in the thread.
18th morning Darshan of Shri #Badrinath ji.
It rained constantly from 17th afternoon till 19th as if to bless us with multiple Darshans with hardly anybody around.
19th morning Darshan of #Badrinath ji 🙏🏻 the Mandir played hide & seek with the clouds ..
#जय_बद्री_विशाल

अब मैं आपको आज, 12 अक्टूबर रात्रि 9.47 अष्टमी तिथि के प्रारम्भ होते ही कवल्था/ कालीमठ #Uttarakhand में माँ काली के मंदिर में विशेष पूजा के दर्शन करवाती हूँ।
मुझे इस विशेष पूजा जानकारी @alok_bhatt जी से मिली, आज संध्या 7 बजे से यहीं हूँ 🙏🏻
मंदिर में माँ काली की कोई प्रतिमा नहीं है, शुम्भ निशुम्भ, रक्तबीज के वध के बाद काली को शांत करने जब भगवान शिव उन के चरणों में लेट गए, तब माँ काली एक कुंड में अंतर्ध्यान हो गयीं। रजतपट श्री यन्त्र से ढके इस कुंड की पूजा साल में केवल शरदिया नवरात्री की अष्टमी को ही की जाती है।
अष्टमी की मध्यरात्रि को कुछ मुख्य पूजारी ही कुंड में समायी माँ काली की पूजा करते हैं, और दिव्य शक्ति दर्शन के लिए मंदिर को खोला जाता है।
दर्शन कीजिए 🙏🏻
