The Auspicious Peacock: A Beacon of Divine Light

This exquisite handmade brass lamp transcends mere utility, embodying a profound connection to nature, divinity, and artistic heritage. At its heart stands the majestic peacock, a creature steeped in mythology and revered across Indian culture. In ancient Hindu lore, the peacock is often associated with deities like Lord Krishna, who famously adorns his crown with its vibrant feathers, and Goddess Saraswati, the patron of arts and knowledge, who is sometimes depicted riding this magnificent bird. Its iridescent plumage, symbolizing beauty, grace, and immortality, makes it a fitting emblem for a divine light source.

A Symphony of Craftsmanship and Symbolism

The lamp's design intricately captures the peacock's regal posture. Its stylized feathers fan out majestically, a testament to the skilled hands that shaped this piece from solid brass. The lustrous brass itself carries a sacred significance in many traditions, believed to purify the environment and attract positive energies. The base of the lamp is elegantly tiered, adorned with delicate etched patterns that echo the artistry found in traditional Indian temples and royal courts. The five wicks, arranged to radiate light in multiple directions, symbolize the five elements or the five sacred sounds, further enhancing the lamp's spiritual resonance.

Illuminating Sacred Spaces and Artistic Appreciations

More than just a lamp, this piece is an artifact that brings an aura of sanctity and artistic grandeur to any setting. It is perfectly suited for ritualistic practices, such as evening aarti or daily puja, where its gentle flames can create a tranquil and devotional atmosphere. Beyond its religious applications, this peacock lamp serves as a stunning decorative object, a conversation starter that speaks of a rich cultural legacy. Its intricate details and the inherent symbolism of the peacock make it an ideal centerpiece for a mantelpiece, altar, or a curated collection of ethnic art. Each flame flickering within this brass embodiment of beauty and divinity is an invitation to contemplation and spiritual elevation.

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.
