The English name Deodara comes from the Sanskrit Devadaaru Mani. "Deva" means Gods and "Daaru" means wood. The meaning of Devadaru Stone is therefore; "the Wood of the Gods." The Devadaru tree is considered sacred. Forests of Devadaru trees were said to be a favorite place of the Sages worshiping Lord Shiva. There is a spiritual energy which extends from the place where a Devadaru tree is growing. The energy of the tree creates a mystical window for the Devas to see into the physical realm. Its wood is a fitting substitute for sandalwood for pujas and tilakams (forehead markings) although it is somewhat heating.

Devadaru Stone or deodar pearl helps to promote meditative consciousness and helps to open a channel into the inner plains. It can be used as a tilakam (anointing the forehead) taken internally or offered in puja or Yajnam. It is a suitable substitute for the endangered Sandalwood often used in poojas. It is not cooling as is Sandalwood, but it does possess many of the calming, grounding, and perception increasing properties.

The wood is bitter, pungent and heating. The bark is some what more astringent. It reduces Vaata and Kapha, but increases pitta. It is useful to increase digestion and appetite. It is grounding and helps reduce indigestion caused by anxiety. It help to increase apaana vaayu, and can help to cure constipation. Devadaru Mani removes accumulated toxins (ama) from the body and clears the blood. It can help reduce inflammation and itching. Devadaru Stone is one of the best expectorants for kapha because it removes excess mucus and dries the lungs. It is useful in the treatment of pain because it relieves spasms and relaxes the muscles. It nourishes the heart, and helps to cultivate devotion and spiritual dispassion.

A sacred stone of gods. Devadaru Mani means the wood of gods in sanskrit.
