Sacred Light and Divine Symbolism

Embrace the spiritual essence of your sacred space with this exquisite set of brass oil lamps. Each lamp is meticulously handcrafted, bearing the symbolic weight of the Shankh (conch shell) and the Chakra (disc or wheel), two of the most revered emblems in Hindu iconography. The warm, radiant glow emanating from these lamps can imbue any corner of your home with an aura of tranquility and devotion, making them perfect for your prayer room, meditation corner, or as a striking decorative accent in your living space.

The Symbolism of Shankh and Chakra

The Shankh, a conch shell, is deeply intertwined with Hindu mythology. It is believed to be the divine instrument of Lord Vishnu, whose conch shell, Panchajanya, represents the sound of creation and the awakening of consciousness. The blowing of the Shankh is a significant ritual in many Hindu ceremonies, symbolizing the dispelling of negative energies and the invocation of auspiciousness. It is also associated with the sea goddess Lakshmi, bringing prosperity and good fortune. The Chakra, often depicted as a spinning disc or wheel, is another potent symbol, most notably representing Lord Vishnu's Sudarshana Chakra. This divine weapon signifies the cosmic order, the wheel of time, and the eternal cycle of creation, preservation, and destruction. It embodies unwavering resolve, perfection, and the ultimate power that upholds Dharma (righteousness). When presented together, the Shankh and Chakra represent the divine forces that govern the universe and protect devotees from negativity.

Artistry and Devotion in Brass

Crafted from high-quality brass, these lamps possess a timeless beauty and durability. The intricate detailing on each lamp showcases the skill of the artisans who have brought these sacred symbols to life. The rich, golden hue of brass is traditionally associated with purity, prosperity, and divinity in Indian culture. The design of the lamps, with their broad, stable bases and elegant stems, allows for safe and steady placement. The shallow wells are designed to hold oil and a wick, ready to be lit and to cast their sacred light. This set is not merely an object of worship; it is a piece of art that bridges the earthly realm with the divine, intended to elevate your spiritual practice and bring a touch of sacred artistry into your everyday life.

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.
