Resin incense hand-rolled onto a stick is a different object from the dipped incense most shops sell. Dipped sticks are a bamboo core soaked in fragrance oil — they smell strong for ten minutes and then smell of burning bamboo. Rolled resin burns as itself the whole way down.

Brand: Govinda (also sold as Madre Tierra), the hand-rolled resin incense brand printed on the packet.

Govinda, also known as Madre Tierra, packs these in 30g (1.1 oz) bundles, hand-rolled by traditional methods so the natural resins keep their integrity and burn cleanly. Scent options for this packet appear on this page.

At a glance

  • 30g (1.1 oz) packet of hand-rolled sticks
  • Resin incense, not a dipped bamboo core
  • Hand-rolled by traditional methods
  • Clean, lasting burn
  • Made for meditation, relaxation and ritual practice
  • Twelve scents — listed in full below

How to use it

  • Heat-proof holder on a stable surface, in a ventilated room.
  • Light, let it flame, blow it out. Keep the ember.
  • Never leave burning incense unattended — Govinda says so and so do we.
  • Store the packet closed and dry. Resin sticks dry out in an open packet and lose depth.
  • Try one scent for a week before moving to the next. Resins reveal themselves slowly.

✨ Temple Tip — rolled resin and dipped bamboo are not the same product

If incense has ever smelled great for the first few minutes and faintly of burnt stick afterwards, you were burning a dipped bamboo core. Rolled resin has the aromatic material throughout, so the last third smells like the first — which is the difference you are paying for in a hand-rolled packet.

Questions we get asked

What scents are available?
Scent options appear on this page. If one is not listed it is not currently in stock.
How much incense is in a packet?
30g (1.1 oz) of hand-rolled sticks. Stick count varies slightly because they are rolled by hand.
Is Govinda the same as Madre Tierra?
Yes — Govinda is also known as the Madre Tierra brand, and packets appear under both names.
How is this different from ordinary incense sticks?
These are resin sticks rolled by hand rather than a bamboo core dipped in fragrance oil, which is why they burn evenly all the way down.
Do I need a holder?
Yes. Use a heat-proof holder or ash catcher on a stable, non-flammable surface, in a ventilated room, and never leave a burning stick unattended.
What brand is this?
Govinda — the brand name printed on the front of the packet. Govinda incense is also sold under the name Madre Tierra.

California Proposition 65 warning: Burning incense produces combustion by-products. Use in a well-ventilated space.

To go further

Burn safely: Always burn in a heat-proof holder on a stable, non-flammable surface, in a well-ventilated room. Never leave a burning stick, bomb or disk unattended. Keep away from children, pets, curtains and anything that catches. Smoke-cleansing products give off a lot of smoke — start away from smoke detectors. Store dry and out of direct sun. A ritual object, not a remedy: traditional associations described here are traditions of association, not claims of physical or psychological effect, and nothing here is medical advice.

Rolled, not dipped. #TempleOfDesire

In short

Govinda Hand-Rolled Incense is a 30g packet of resin incense sticks from Sacred Crystals, made by the Govinda brand, also sold as Madre Tierra.

The sticks are hand-rolled by traditional methods with the resin worked through the stick, rather than a bamboo core dipped in fragrance oil, so the scent holds to the end of the burn. Scent options include frankincense, jasmine, nag champa, myrrh, rose, palo santo, amber sandal, copal, dragon blood and hindu sandal. A packet costs $4.95 and contains 30g of sticks; the exact stick count varies because they are rolled by hand. Resin sticks dry out in an open packet, so the packet is stored closed and dry.
