on a direct, intutive level. Ordinary experience are limited by
time, space and the laws of causality, but the meditative state
transcends all boundaries.

to sleep can gradually be reduced to as little as three hours per
night, and you will still feel more rested and peaceful than before.

down to the individual cells, is taught to relax and rejuvenate.

doorway to a new name and form. People who meditate regularly tend
to develop magnetic and dynamic personalities, cheerfulness, powerful

Why one should use aasans (mats) for
puja, meditation and other religious activities?
|
a) |
Normally the present houses are having flooring of marble,
granite etc., which are cold. Sitting and doing puja, hawan,
meditation etc. on naked floor without any thing can let the
cold enter in your body and may invite many diseases like
joint pains, cold etc., resulting into non-concentration which
is very necessary for puja, meditation etc. Using aasans while
performing puja, meditation etc. has become a practice and
needs to be followed by all. It may be noticed that even muslims
performing namaaz use mats, due to the same reason.
|
b) |
Earth (bhumi or dharti) is considered as wife of Lord Vishnu
and we considered earth as mother ( dharti maa). To maintain
the desired discipline between the relationship of a mother
and grown up child aasans acts as a layer between the hips
of son and body of mother.
|
c) |
If you have anything already laid on floor than also you should
use aasans while doing puja, meditation etc., because the
earlier item which is already laid on floor is continuously
been used and rubbed many times by your foot steps. While
doing puja, meditation etc. one should keep in mind this cleanness
part including hygiene.

Why only woolen aasans?
|
a) |
In ancient time, rishis munis used to do yoga, puja, sadhana
etc. on kusha aasans. The present scenario doesn't suits one
to have kusha aasans. Thus one can avail all the good things
by using woolen puja aasans. Wool and kusha both are considered
to be outsource from one place only.
|
b) |
When you continuously perform puja or meditation there is
some special kind of power generates in and around you. There
are various small insects in the environment that attack the
power generation, but when you sit on woolen aasans the possibilities
of attack reduces nearly to NIL for the reason of wool.
|
c) |
When you perform activities like puja, meditation, hawan etc.
possibilities of using kapoor(camphor), agarbatti (incense)
etc. are there. There are possibilities that due to sparkles
the aasans may catch fire. But with woolen aasans there is
no risk that it will catch fire, as wool cannot burn.
|
d) |
Please note that in puja each and every thing has to be pure.
Unless the things are not pure they don't perform their best.
The most important part is puja aasans. As far as purity of
puja woolen aasans are concerned they can never be impure
for the reason that wool automatically gets purity from environment
itself vis-à-vis other fibre aasans which are needed
to be washed and cleaned to make it pure.
|
e) |
As far as durability is considered wool is considered to be
more durable fibres than other fibres and thus have longer
life.

Why woolen aasans manufactured in Vindhya region?
Vindhya region is considered to be best in whole universe.**
Thus anything made in this region automatically considered
to be pure and best. In this way the user of woolen aasans,
made in this region, will avail all the wishes of Maa Vindhyawasani
(goddess).
Our products are purely hand made involving No Child
labour at any stage whatsoever. These products are made with
heavy cotton backing with around 70 tufts per linear foot.
Vaccum regularly. Dry cleaning recommended.
Thus for everything i.e. puja, hawan, meditation etc.
aasans is required. Woolen aasans are considered to be the
best vis-à-vis other aasans. Please note that eating
food on sitting floor is also considered as puja as there
is god inside everyone. Thus if you take your meal on sitting
woolen aasans you will realise certain different & good
feelings.
There is myth in Jainism that wool used in aasans are taken
harshly from sheeps, but this is wrong. The wool which are
being used in aasans or other products are the increased hairs
of sheep which are cut and used as wool in our aasans and
other product.
