An Emblem of Divine Prosperity

Illuminate your sacred space with this exquisite brass lamp, a radiant embodiment of blessings and abundance. Crafted from high-quality brass, this piece transcends mere utility, serving as a powerful symbol of divine grace. The intricate design features a central motif of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, surrounded by the Ashtalakshmi – the eight forms of Goddess Lakshmi, each representing a distinct aspect of wealth and prosperity. From Adi Lakshmi, the goddess of primordial power and sustenance, to Vijaya Lakshmi, the goddess of victory, this lamp invites all her benevolent energies into your home.

Whispers of Ancient Wisdom

The tradition of the Ashtalakshmi lamp is deeply rooted in Hindu scriptures and cultural practices. Goddess Lakshmi, the consort of Lord Vishnu, is revered as the bestower of fortune, wealth, courage, and success. By worshipping all eight forms collectively, devotees seek holistic prosperity that encompasses material well-being, spiritual growth, and overall harmony. Lighting this lamp during festivals like Diwali, the festival of lights, or on auspicious occasions is believed to dispel negativity and invite auspiciousness, much like the ancient Vedic rituals that honored the divine feminine for bountiful harvests and prosperity. The presence of Ganesha at the heart of the Ashtalakshmi signifies that all endeavors, especially those seeking wealth and success, are undertaken with divine guidance and protection.

Artistry in Brass

This lamp is a testament to the enduring artistry of brass craftsmanship. The warm, lustrous sheen of the brass complements the divine figures, creating a piece that is both visually striking and spiritually resonant. The detailed carvings of the deities, from their serene expressions to the delicate folds of their attire, showcase the skill of the artisans. The sturdy, ornate base provides a stable foundation, while the gracefully sculpted sides, adorned with auspicious motifs, add to the lamp's majestic appeal. This lamp is not just a decorative item; it is a functional piece of art designed to enhance the sanctity of your prayer room or any corner of your home where you seek to invite positive energies.

A Beacon of Hope and Blessings

More than just a lamp, this creation is a beacon of hope and a conduit for divine blessings. As the flame flickers within, it symbolizes the dispelling of darkness and ignorance, ushering in enlightenment and prosperity. It serves as a constant reminder of the benevolent forces that guide and support us. Whether used for daily prayers, special ceremonies, or as a distinguished decorative accent, this Ashtalakshmi lamp will undoubtedly add a touch of divine elegance and spiritual significance to your environment, fostering an atmosphere of peace, prosperity, and well-being.

The Power of Light: Understanding the Role of Oil Lamps in

Hinduism Hinduism is a boon to human society for it guides everyone to follow their Dharma and rise above the material concept of life. Hinduism is also known as “Sanatan Dharma”. These are Sanskrit terms in which Sanatan means “eternal” and Dharma means “Intrinsic nature or occupation”. Thus it deals with the intrinsic nature or the real identity of the living entities; that which can never be taken away from them. The principles of Hinduism are given in the Vedic literature or scriptures that are considered “Apaurusheya”; they have not been written by any ordinary person but have been compiled by Vyasadev, the literary incarnation of the Supreme Lord Krishna. The word “Veda” means complete knowledge, both material and spiritual. The knowledge in Vedic literature is so vast and precise that if one looks carefully, he will notice that nothing is sentimental or imaginary but is based on facts and truth. There is a clear description and information about the identity of all living beings, the nature of the Absolute Truth, the reason for the existence of this world, the information about the world beyond this universe, and the relationship between us and God, the Absolute Truth.

Why do we light a lamp?

There are many rituals recommended in the Vedas for engaging our body and mind in the service of God. One of them is the lighting of ghee or oil lamps before the deity. According to the Vedic injunctions, all auspicious functions begin with lighting a lamp. It has a great spiritual significance. It is believed that the light of the lamp symbolizes “knowledge”, the wick symbolizes the false ego of the living entity, and ghee (clarified butter) or oil symbolizes all the negative tendencies (Anarthas) accumulated in the heart such as greed, lust, anger, and envy. When the lamp is lit by spiritual knowledge, all the Anarthas are exhausted, and the false ego, which is the root cause of conditional life, is also burnt. Therefore, the lamp is lit before the Lord as a sacrifice of our false ego in His service. Just as the light of the lamp dissipates all darkness, similarly, the light of knowledge dissipates ignorance of the Jivas and enables us to realize our real identity and purpose of life.

Why only an oil or ghee lamp?

One may question why only an oil lamp is lit before the Lord and why not an artificial light source. This may sound logical but lighting a lamp has a further spiritual significance. The flame of the light in a lamp always burns upwards indicating that by cultivating spiritual knowledge, one achieves the highest perfection of life and is always victorious. Also, a traditional lamp is the purest form of offering.

In almost every house of a follower of Sanatan Dharma, an oil or ghee lamp is lit before the altar of the Lord or before the Tulsi plant. Some people light it at dawn, some at dusk, and some people prefer to light it at dawn and dusk. Either ghee or sesame oil can be used to burn the wick. Vaishnavas (devotees of Lord Vishnu or Krishna) especially light a ghee lamp every day in the month of Kartik to offer their love and devotion to the Lord.
