The Radiant Peacock: An Emblem of Divinity and Light

This magnificent brass lamp, standing tall at twenty inches, is more than just a source of illumination; it is a testament to artistry, spirituality, and the enduring symbolism of the peacock in Indian culture. Crafted from lustrous brass, the lamp is designed to bring an aura of sacredness and refined beauty to any space, making it a cherished addition to any ritual or puja setting. The peacock, revered in Hindu mythology, is often associated with deities like Lord Krishna, who adorns his crown with its feathers, and Goddess Saraswati, the patron of arts and knowledge. The bird's iridescent plumage, its proud posture, and its melodious call are seen as reflections of divine grace, beauty, and immortality. In this lamp, the peacock is captured in a moment of regal splendor, perched atop the ornate structure, its elegant form seemingly guarding the sacred flame. The meticulous craftsmanship, evident in every curve and detail of the brass, reflects the deep reverence with which this creature is held. The lamp's design is a symphony of flowing lines and intricate patterns. From the peacock finial, the structure gracefully descends, unfolding into a series of delicate curves and decorative motifs. The central stem, reminiscent of a slender, bejeweled column, supports a wide, shallow oil reservoir. This reservoir, designed to hold a wick, promises to cast a warm, inviting glow. The entire piece is elevated by an intricately carved base, ensuring stability and adding to its overall grandeur. The use of brass, a metal that has been traditionally associated with purity and auspiciousness, further enhances the lamp's spiritual significance. Brass lamps are commonly used in temples and homes during festivals and prayers, symbolizing the dispelling of darkness and ignorance with the light of knowledge and divinity. This lamp is not merely an object of devotion but a piece of functional art that can transform the ambiance of a room. Imagine the soft flicker of the flame casting dancing shadows on your walls, accompanied by the serene presence of the peacock, a symbol of prosperity and good fortune. It serves as a beautiful reminder of the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions that have been passed down through generations, connecting the present with the ancient wisdom and aesthetic sensibilities of India. Whether placed in a puja room, a living area, or a tranquil corner, this brass peacock lamp is sure to be a captivating centerpiece, radiating both light and spiritual energy. ––––––––––

It is an heirloom piece, designed not only for immediate use but to be cherished and admired for years to come, carrying with it the stories and traditions of its creation.

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.
