• Origins:
Sandalwood (Santalum album) has been revered for more than 4,000 years, as evidenced by its mention in ancient scriptures like the Vedas and Puranas. Chandan wood was revered in India, China, and Southeast Asia for its usage in temple ceremonies, mummification in Egypt, and Ayurvedic medicine. The name chandanam wood originates from Sanskrit and Tamil, where it is revered as the king of spiritual woods.
• The sandana kattai from areas like Mysore (Karnataka), Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh is recognized worldwide for its high oil content, distinctive golden hue, and unrivaled aroma. Due to its GI (Geographical Indication) certification, Mysore sandalwood is renowned for its quality and genuineness.
• Usage:
This revered sapwood is powdered or paste-formed to adorn deity statues, foreheads, and yagna altars, and it is frequently utilized in temple rituals, homams, and poojas. It is used in making incense sticks, oils, and even beads and carved deities. Vaishnavite, Shaivite, and Shakta rituals all heavily rely on sandalwood paste. It is thought that utilizing chandanam wood during meditation improves concentration and tranquility.
• Preservation Measures:
Store sandana kattai in hermetic containers or cloth bags away from moisture and sunlight to preserve its natural aroma and strength. Keep in wooden boxes or holy places to maintain fragrance and potency for years.
• Hindu deities like Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva, and Goddess Lakshmi are inherently associated with chandanam wood. It is crucial during Vaikunta Ekadasi, Rama Navami, and Krishna Janmashtami. The use of chandan wood paste represents submission and devotion to the Divine.
• Our chandan has a warm, yellowish-brown hue and a smooth, creamy consistency. When rubbed, the wood releases therapeutic oils and gives out a long-lasting aroma. It is well-known for its inherent cooling qualities, making it perfect for Ayurvedic treatments and summer rites. It is a versatile spiritual item because of its antibacterial, soothing, and sacred qualities.
• The tale states that the idol of Lord Krishna in Udupi was carved out of a piece of chandan wood. Devotees of Vaishnava sampradayas think that applying sandalwood wood paste to the forehead attracts divine energy and eliminates ego. Its benefits have been lauded in devotional literature by saints such as Adi Shankaracharya and Ramanuja.
