Illuminating Devotion: A Multifaceted Brass Diya

This exquisite brass diya is more than just a vessel for light; it is a testament to centuries of artistic tradition and spiritual significance. Crafted from lustrous brass, this multi-tiered lamp stands as a striking centerpiece, designed to hold twenty-six individual wicks. Each wick, when lit, casts a warm, inviting glow, creating an atmosphere of sacredness and serenity. The tiered structure, reminiscent of blooming lotus flowers, symbolizes purity and spiritual awakening, a concept deeply rooted in Hindu philosophy. The lotus, often associated with deities like Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, and Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge and art, imbues this lamp with auspicious energies.

A Symphony of Light and Form

The design of this diya is both functional and aesthetically captivating. The graduated platforms ascend elegantly, culminating in a crowning top piece that further enhances its visual appeal. The sturdy base, with its gracefully curved supports, ensures stability while adding to the lamp's overall artistic merit. The choice of brass is significant, as this metal has been revered in India for millennia, not only for its durability and warm sheen but also for its perceived purity and ability to attract divine energies. In Vedic traditions, brass is considered a sacred metal, often used in religious rituals and for crafting deities' idols and temple paraphernalia. The intricate craftsmanship evident in the sculpting of each layer and the flowing lines of the supports speaks volumes about the skill of the artisans who brought this piece to life.

Echoes of Tradition and Celebration

This multi-wick diya is ideally suited for grander religious ceremonies, festivals, or as a statement piece in your puja room or spiritual space. Imagine the radiant spectacle of all twenty-six wicks ablaze during Diwali, the festival of lights, when lamps are lit to symbolize the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. The collective illumination of this lamp would undoubtedly amplify the festive spirit and invoke blessings of prosperity and well-being. It can also be used during other auspicious occasions like Navratri, Ganesh Chaturthi, or for performing elaborate pujas and *aartis*. The steady, unwavering flame from each wick is believed to dispel negativity and usher in positive vibrations, making this diya a powerful tool for spiritual practice and a beautiful embodiment of Indian heritage.

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.
