Handmade eco-friendly Darbha Grass Meditation/Sleeping Mat

This exceptional product, featured on our website, exudes a remarkable natural and energetic essence. It's no surprise that Darbha, known as Lord Ganesh's favorite plant, contributes to such a unique experience. 

Embracing the philosophy that "Sleeping is a Meditation Too," this product serves a dual purpose, offering both comfort and spiritual significance. Here are some insights into the purpose and spiritual uses of Dharba Grass:

•  Darbha grass, also known as Kusha grass, has been traditionally used in various cultures for meditation and spiritual practices. It's believed that this grass has the ability to insulate the body from the earth's energy, helping to retain the energy generated during meditation or rituals within the body, particularly in the upper chakras, instead of letting it dissipate into the ground through the legs and toes.

•  Harvested by spiritually-minded individuals during the first lunar day of the waning moon cycle, Darbha grass is intricately woven while chanting mantras.

•  Crafted into āsanas, these prayer and meditation seats, made from Darbha grass, were traditionally covered with materials like wool, silk, cotton, or animal skin. This Darbhāsana not only aids in meditation but also shields the individual from various negative spiritual energies.

•  Placing Darbha within the home environment is believed to reduce anger and conflicts among family members.

•  As a symbol of cleanliness and good luck, Darbha is offered to the gods during puja rituals.

•  Utilized in the creation of wreaths for the gods, filling mandalas, and adorning shrines, Darbha holds a significant place in various rituals.

•  Before puja events, it serves as a mat for placing offerings, enhancing the potency of prayers and expediting answers.

•  A presence in the Vedas and other Hindu religious texts, Darbha has historical usage by Rishis and Sufis during ancient times.

To maintain the purity of this spiritual mat:

• Ensure the mat is thoroughly dry before rolling it back; machine washing is not recommended.

Sustainability is integral to this product:
