Incennse is absolutely NOT required for True Meditation.One should know how to withdraw the cognitive senses from the sorroundings and control the mind to meditate on GOD (Ekaagra Chittam)--incense wii NOT help!!!!

"Jadilo Mundhitha Lunchitha Kesaha-Kaashaayaambara Bhahukrtha Veshaha"= "a true Ascetic need not sport 20 feet long hair-lock---nor completely tonsure his head-nor keep 5 tufts on his head-nor wear a Saffron cloth-nor like a drama actor wearing costumes--the true detachment from life should come from the Heart"{Acharya (Great Teacher) sri.Sankara)}

Answer 2

My opinion

The best incenses for meditation are scents that you don't pay too much attention to, they should be subtle scents, never overpowering.

Also the size of the room will dictate, even subtle scents in a small closed room can be cloying.

Answer 3

I think that depends on personal taste. I enjoy sandalwood when meditating.

Answer 4

Answer 5

I like vanilla.
