An Auspicious Emblem of Divinity and Light

Elevate your spiritual practice and home decor with this exquisitely handcrafted brass diya, a vessel designed to bring divine grace and radiant light into your life. This piece is more than just a lamp; it is a symbol rich with cultural and mythological significance, meticulously crafted to be a focal point of devotion and beauty. The warm, lustrous brass embodies purity and divinity, a material that has been revered for centuries in religious rituals and artistry across India.

Symbols of Sacred Power

This diya is adorned with potent symbols that resonate deeply within Hindu traditions. On either side, you will find the Shankha (conch shell) and the Chakra (discus), two of the most iconic attributes of Lord Vishnu. The Shankha, blown during auspicious occasions, is believed to ward off evil spirits and is a symbol of divine sound, the primordial vibration from which creation emerged. Its spiral form is often associated with the cosmic order. The Chakra, a celestial weapon of Vishnu, represents universal order, righteousness, and the cyclical nature of time. Its sharp, disc-like form is a reminder of the power to destroy negativity and uphold dharma. The presence of these symbols imbues the diya with protective and benevolent energies, making it an ideal addition to your puja room or any sacred space.

The Trisul's Protective Embrace

Centrally positioned above the diya is the Trisul, the trident of Lord Shiva. This powerful weapon is a symbol of Lord Shiva's dominion over the three aspects of time – past, present, and future – and his ability to destroy ignorance, ego, and illusion. It is also seen as representing the three gunas (Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas) that govern existence, and Shiva's mastery over them. The Trisul's sharp prongs reaching upwards signify warding off negativity and protecting the devotee. Together, the Shankha, Chakra, and Trisul create a harmonious representation of the supreme divine powers, inviting blessings and spiritual protection into your home.

Handcrafted Artistry and Enduring Quality

Each diya is a testament to the skill and dedication of traditional artisans. The intricate detailing on the base, the delicate curves of the elephant-foot style legs, and the precise rendering of the sacred symbols all speak to a heritage of craftsmanship passed down through generations. Made from high-quality brass, this diya is not only beautiful but also durable, designed to be a cherished heirloom for years to come. Its substantial feel and elegant finish make it a truly remarkable piece that will enhance the ambiance of any prayer ceremony or meditation practice. Light a diya to invoke peace, prosperity, and spiritual awakening.

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.
