Symbol of Auspiciousness and Divine Light

This exquisite brass lamp, masterfully crafted in the form of a peacock, brings a touch of divine grace and auspicious energy into any space. The peacock, a creature deeply woven into the fabric of Indian mythology and culture, is revered for its beauty, royalty, and ability to ward off evil. In Hindu tradition, it is the celestial vehicle of Lord Kartikeya, the god of war and victory, and its vibrant plumage is said to represent the eyes of the gods, bestowing protection and good fortune. The detailed craftsmanship of this lamp captures the essence of the peacock's majestic presence. Each feather is intricately etched, and the embellishments on its wings and tail suggest the mesmerizing display of a peacock in full courtship. The lamp itself, suspended by a delicate brass chain from the peacock's beak, features five wicks, signifying the illumination of five directions or the presence of multiple divine energies. The sturdy, ornamented base provides a stable foundation, echoing the regal stance of the bird it supports.

Illuminating Ritual and Tradition

In many traditions, lamps, especially those made of brass, are central to rituals and daily practices. The act of lighting a lamp is often seen as an invocation of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and prosperity over scarcity. This five-wick lamp, with its symbolic representation, can be used to enhance the spiritual ambiance during pujas, meditations, or simply as a beautiful centerpiece for your home. The gentle glow emanating from the five flames can create a serene and contemplative atmosphere, inviting peace and positive vibrations. The peacock's association with the divine extends to its representation of beauty and immortality. It is believed that the peacock's iridescent feathers hold a part of the divine essence, and its presence is often linked to good luck and abundance. By bringing this lamp into your home, you are not just acquiring a decorative piece; you are inviting a symbol of divine blessings, protection, and radiant energy. The warm, inviting glow of the flames, coupled with the enduring beauty of the brass peacock, creates a harmonious blend of artistry and spirituality, making it a truly unique and cherished addition to your sacred space or home decor.

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.
