An Embodiment of Divine Light

This exquisite brass lamp, crafted with meticulous detail, is more than just an object; it is a vessel of devotion and a symbol of spiritual illumination. Its form echoes the ancient tradition of the diya, a staple in Hindu rituals and everyday life, where the gentle flicker of a flame dispels darkness, both literal and metaphorical. The radiant glow emanating from this lamp is said to invite prosperity, good fortune, and the blessings of the divine into your home.

Echoes of Mythology and Ritual

The diya holds a special place in Hindu mythology and practice. It is central to the festival of Diwali, the festival of lights, where homes are adorned with countless diyas to welcome Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, and to celebrate the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance. It is also used in daily puja, or worship, to invoke the presence of deities and to purify the surroundings. The act of lighting a diya is believed to purify the mind and soul, creating a sacred space for meditation and prayer. Its flame is a reminder of the eternal consciousness, the Atman, that resides within all beings.

A Testament to Craftsmanship

Fashioned from high-quality brass, this lamp showcases the skill and dedication of traditional artisans. Brass, known for its durability and lustrous sheen, has been a favored material for religious artifacts for centuries. The intricate detailing and smooth finish of this lamp speak to the artisan's mastery of their craft, creating an object that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Its compact size makes it ideal for placement on altars, shelves, or any sacred space, allowing its gentle light to grace your devotional practices. The elegant curves and the sturdy base ensure its stability, making it a reliable companion in your 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.

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.
