About Us Archana Incense

Archana is a Sanskrit term for an ancient practice dating back thousands of years. Traditionally performed in temples or at home, it involves offering flowers, incense, or food while chanting prayers or mantras. Rooted in Vedic traditions and supporting the practise of bhakti, (yoga of the heart), Archana has been a way for generations to express love, reverence, and gratitude to the divine, deepening one’s spiritual connection.

Offering something meaningful is about giving the finest one can find. To learn how to make fine incense I went to Japan and India to learn the craft from the most reputable incense makers of the world. Along the way I learned that most incense of the world is mass produced using synthetic fragrances that can be irritating to the throat and is most likely harmful to long-term health and well-being. While designing an incense stick that is practical to burn, as a temple or arati offering, I was determined to develop a recipe that is pure, natural and health enhancing. 

Archana Incense is crafted using only the finest natural ingredients, creating a fragrance reminiscent of frankincense with floral and sandlewood undertones. Whether as a congregational or personal offering or a thoughtful gift, we hope it enhances your moments of devotion and inner peace.

Future Vision:

Archana incense is loved by all that experience its' fragrance and we are excited to see it being offered in public or home temples around the world. As the demand for high quality incense increases, we aim to provide a natural and pure incense, especially satisfying our customers with the fragrance and the length of the burn.

The Hare Krishna mantra is an ancient Vedic chant that awakens a deep connection to the divine, drawing the heart toward the personal, loving presence of Sri Krishna, the all- attractive Supreme Personality of Godhead.
