Goloka Backflow Incense Cones are specially formulated cones designed for backflow burners, where the smoke flows downward in a visible stream or "waterfall" instead of rising upward, made by the same charity-founded incense house behind Modern Aromatherapy's Goloka Incense Sticks.
About Goloka
Goloka incense is produced by the Goloka Seva Trust in Bengaluru, India, founded in 1982 as an initiative connected to ISKCON Bangalore. Goloka is distinctive among incense makers in that 100% of its proceeds go toward the Trust's charitable and educational programs. The incense itself is hand-rolled by fourth-generation incense craftsmen using natural ingredients, a tradition the Trust has maintained since its founding.
What Makes Goloka Backflow Cones Distinctive
Backflow cones are cored with a small hollow channel that directs the cone's smoke downward once lit, letting it cascade over a backflow burner's tower or steps for a visual, waterfall-like effect rather than the plume produced by standard incense. Goloka's backflow line is formulated specifically for this heavier, denser smoke behavior, and spans many of the same fragrance families as its stick lineup, from angelic and reiki-themed blends to classic sandalwood, nag champa, and floral scents, so the same signature aromas are available in either format.
Popular Goloka Backflow Scents
Devotional & Reiki-Inspired
The Buddha, Archangel Michael, Archangel Raphael, Archangel Uriel, Archangel Metatron, and Archangel Melchizedek cones draw on the same devotional and energy-work themes found across Goloka's broader catalogue.
Classic & Nature-Inspired
Nag Champa, Sandalwood, White Sage, Palo Santo, Lavender, Jasmine, Dragon Blood, and Chakra cones round out the line with familiar, tradition-rooted fragrances in backflow form.
How to Burn Goloka Backflow Cones Safely
Light the tip of the cone for a few seconds until it catches, then blow out the flame; the cone should continue to smolder and begin releasing smoke downward. Place it on a dedicated backflow incense burner with a raised platform and open steps or tower beneath it so the smoke has room to flow down, positioned on a stable, heat-safe surface away from curtains, papers, and drafts that can disrupt the downward flow. Never leave burning incense unattended, use in a ventilated room, and keep away from children and pets.
