Sandalwood powder

Sandalwood powder has long been used to calm and focus the nervous system. Traditionally, it is made into a paste with a little bit of water and then applied between the eyebrows or on the forehead to cool the nervous system and to stimulate spiritual energy. Sandalwood is also a holy offering used in the performance of puja.

Puja is a form of worship which is performed to purify the mind, to express devotion, and to connect with the sacred energies of the gods and goddesses themselves. For those who are interested in learning more about this ancient ritual, we offer the Puja Book and the Puja Tape which explain and illustrate how to perform this beautiful form of worship.
