The bell-shaped top, reminiscent of a temple spire or a divine aura, is adorned with charming star-shaped cutouts.

Their presence in this lamp's design imbues it with a profound connection to the cosmos and the divine realm.

A Beacon of Tradition and Devotion

The tradition of lighting lamps, particularly oil lamps, is deeply ingrained in various spiritual practices across the Indian subcontinent and beyond. The eternal flame symbolizes knowledge, truth, and the dispelling of darkness and ignorance. It is believed that lighting a lamp during prayers and rituals invokes positive energy, purifies the environment, and invites the blessings of deities. The Jyothi, or flame, itself is often revered as a representation of the divine fire, Agni, a principal deity in Vedic traditions, who acts as a messenger between humans and the gods. This lamp, with its practical yet elegant lid, ensures that the flame is contained and protected, while also allowing for the diffusion of its gentle light. It can be used to burn ghee or oil with a cotton wick, creating a soft, natural ambiance that is conducive to meditation, prayer, or quiet contemplation. The act of lighting this lamp can be a mindful practice, a moment to pause, reflect, and connect with your inner self or the divine.

The use of brass, a metal known for its durability and auspicious qualities, ensures that this lamp will be a cherished heirloom, passed down through the years, carrying with it the warmth and blessings of countless auspicious occasions. Its presence can transform any corner into a tranquil sanctuary, inviting peace and positivity. Whether you are performing daily puja, celebrating a festival, or simply seeking to add a touch of spiritual elegance to your living space, this brass Jyothi lamp is an embodiment of devotion, beauty, and timeless tradition.

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.
