The Flame of Devotion

Lamps have held a place of reverence and significance across cultures for millennia, symbolizing knowledge, dispelling darkness, and inviting auspiciousness. In many traditions, the lighting of a lamp is not merely a functional act but a sacred ritual, a way to connect with the divine. This belief is richly woven into the fabric of Indian culture, where lamps are integral to daily life, festivals, and temple worship. The soft glow of a diya, the gentle flickering of multiple flames, serves as a constant reminder of the inner light that resides within us all. This magnificent lampstand, meticulously crafted from brass, is a testament to this tradition. Rising gracefully, it presents eight separate wicks to hold the light of devotion. Each wick acts as a separate flame, each with its own dedicated holder that extends from the main body of the lamp. The lamp, when lit, bathes the surroundings in a warm, inviting glow, invoking a sense of peace and serenity.

Symbolism in Brass

Brass, the material from which this lamp is fashioned, is itself steeped in meaning. Known for its durability and radiant luster, brass has been used for centuries in the creation of sacred objects. It is believed to possess the ability to absorb and radiate positive energy, making it an ideal medium for ritualistic tools. The intricate detailing, a hallmark of traditional Indian craftsmanship, further enhances its aesthetic appeal. Delicate embellishments adorn the base, the central column, and the very top of the lampstand, catching the light and adding to its overall elegance. The stand itself is sturdy, supported by four short legs ending in stylized animalistic feet. Above the topmost wick, a delicate finial reaches upwards, adding a touch of regal grace. This is more than just a lamp; it is a work of art, a reflection of centuries of artistic heritage. This lamp is ideal for your shrine, temple, or meditation room. Its aura will illuminate the space and help center the mind.

Light and the Gods

In Hinduism, light is deeply associated with knowledge, wisdom, and the divine. Gods and goddesses are often depicted surrounded by a halo of light, signifying their enlightenment and power. Lighting a lamp is considered an offering to the deities, a gesture of reverence and a means of seeking their blessings. It is believed that the light attracts positive energies and dispels negative forces, creating a sacred atmosphere. Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, is often invoked by the light of lamps, particularly during the festival of Diwali. The rows of diyas that illuminate homes and streets symbolize the triumph of good over evil and the ushering in of prosperity and abundance. The lamp is also revered as a representation of Agni, the god of fire, who is considered a mediator between humans and the divine. Through the offering of light, we connect with the gods and seek their guidance on our spiritual journey.

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.
Image
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.
