Yoga and Ayurveda

Yoga is mentioned in ayurvedic texts such as the Charaka Samhita. Yoga is important for dissolving physical stress and calming the mind before meditation, and is central to dinacharya, the ayurvedic routine. It is the ideal ayurvedic exercise, because it rejuvenates the body, improves digestion, and removes stress.

Puja

Pooja is the process of worshipping God with pure mind and heart. Pooja is done everyday at home and in temples. Those who know the procedure of pooja will do it at home everyday in the morning, and some people do it in the evening too. The duration of a basic pooja is anywhere from 5 minutes to 3 hours. It all depends upon the type of pooja one performs. In the temples regular pooja is done in the morning and also in the evening. In addition to regular pooja many special poojas take place in the temples during the day and evening. Special poojas are performed on the days of festivals like Diwali, Ram Navami, Dassehra, Janmashtami, Ganesh Chathurthi, etc.

Incense is aromatic biotic material which releases fragrant smoke when burned. The term refers to the material itself, rather than to the aroma that it produces. Incense is used for a variety of purposes, including the ceremonies of religion, to overcome bad smells, repel insects, spirituality, aromatherapy, meditation, and for simple pleasure.
