This little diya is a primitive version of the Atma Diya, with the wick in the center of the lamp. The modern Atma Diyas have a cylindrical wick nozzle in the center, although the primitive form is merely a bowl put on a little elevation. The lamp's wick is composed of cotton and is created in the shape of a spherical ball with just one location pulled to form a sharp wick for lighting. This type of lamp is thought to represent the soul blazing within our bodies, illuminating our existence.

A Beacon of Light Through the Ages

The practice of lighting a diya predates recorded history, deeply intertwined with the spiritual fabric of India. In Hindu mythology, the diya is often associated with Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, and its flickering flame is believed to invite her blessings. Lighting a diya is an integral part of daily prayers (puja), festivals like Diwali (the festival of lights), and various ceremonies, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and light over darkness. The act of igniting the wick is a ritualistic offering, a gesture of surrender and devotion, creating a sacred atmosphere conducive to meditation and prayer. This small, yet significant, artifact carries the weight of these ancient traditions, connecting you to a lineage of faithful seekers.

Its modest dimensions make it a versatile addition to any devotional space, whether it's a grand temple or a humble corner of your home. Each time you light this diya, you are not just illuminating a wick; you are rekindling an ancient practice, inviting positivity, and honoring the profound symbolism of light in your life. It serves as a constant reminder to seek inner light and share that brilliance with the world.

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.
