Why are incense sticks used while praying?
Dear Friend, incence sticks made from cowdung and some fragrance material are the best.The perfume or fragrance in the place of worship removes all foul smell.Especially the incence sticks made from cowdung are capable of removing the negative forces from near by.Similarly the Camphor that is used to give Harati, and the Bronze bell sounds that are used to ring at the start of worship.They drive away all the negative forces and makes the surroundings congenial for easy concentration. Your prayer will be from the depth of your heart and you feel happy too.
