An atma can never be hacked up with a weapon, nor can it be burned by fire, wet by water, or withered by the wind. This is why it is frequently connected with the flame of a lamp. During Pujas, the Aatma Diya, a kind of lamp with a center wick in the shape of a nozzle, is a typical ceremonial object that resembles the atma which resides at the center of the body. These Aatma Diyas are often designed like other spiritual objects. This brass Diya is in the shape of a lotus, which denotes wisdom and spirituality. The connection between the Aatma Diya and the lotus suggests that while the Aatma burns in the fire of meditation, it develops wisdom and blossoms like a lovely flower.

The Auspicious Glow of the Lotus Diya

Illuminate your sacred space and elevate your spiritual practice with this exquisite brass diya. Shaped like a blooming lotus, a symbol of purity, enlightenment, and divine beauty in many Eastern traditions, this diya is more than just a lamp; it is a vessel for divine energy. The lotus, which rises untainted from muddy waters, represents the soul's journey towards spiritual awakening, shedding earthly attachments to embrace inner peace and knowledge. In Hindu mythology, the lotus is often associated with the goddess Lakshmi, the bestower of wealth and prosperity, and with Lord Brahma, the creator, who is often depicted seated on a lotus. Its opening at dawn signifies new beginnings and the radiant power of the sun.

Craftsmanship and Tradition

Handcrafted from durable brass, this diya embodies the timeless artistry and spiritual significance of Indian devotional objects. Brass, known for its auspicious properties and ability to conduct divine energy, is the traditional material for religious artifacts, believed to enhance the efficacy of prayers and rituals. The scalloped, petal-like rim of the diya further enhances its resemblance to a blossoming lotus, creating a beautiful aesthetic that is both traditional and elegantly refined. The sturdy base ensures stability, allowing the flame to burn steadily, symbolizing the unwavering presence of the divine.

A Beacon of Light for Sacred Moments

This Akhand Diya, designed for continuous burning, is perfect for prolonged prayers, meditation sessions, or as a constant source of auspicious energy in your home or puja room. The gentle, flickering flame casts a warm and serene glow, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and devotion. Light this diya during festivals, special occasions, or simply as part of your daily spiritual routine to invite blessings, ward off negativity, and foster a deeper connection with the divine. Its compact size makes it ideal for placement on altars, prayer tables, or any cherished corner of your home where you seek peace and spiritual solace. Embrace the radiance of this brass lotus diya and let its divine light guide your path.

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.
