Illuminating Your Sacred Space

Invite the divine into your home with this exquisite Puja Diya, meticulously crafted from pure copper. The diya, a vessel of light, holds profound significance in Hindu traditions, symbolizing knowledge, prosperity, and the dispelling of darkness. Its presence is not merely decorative; it is an invocation, a focal point for prayer and contemplation. The star-shaped cups of the diya are designed to hold a cotton wick soaked in ghee or oil, which when lit, casts a warm, flickering glow. This gentle illumination is believed to purify the atmosphere, attract positive energies, and aid the devotee in focusing their mind. In ancient Indian scriptures, the lamp's flame is often compared to the divine spark within each soul, an eternal light that transcends the mortal coil. The act of lighting a diya is a ritual of surrender and devotion, a way to connect with the celestial realms.

A Testament to Craftsmanship and Tradition

This Puja Diya is presented on a beautiful, accompanying plate, which serves to catch any overflow of oil or wax, ensuring your sacred space remains pristine. The plate itself is adorned with a delicate, patterned rim, adding a touch of understated elegance. The copper material, chosen for its purity and auspiciousness, has been revered for centuries in religious practices. Copper is believed to possess purifying properties and is often used in sacred vessels to enhance spiritual energies. Its warm, earthy tone complements the soft radiance of the flame, creating an ambiance of peace and devotion. The tradition of using diyas dates back to ancient Vedic times. They are integral to nearly every Hindu festival, from the joyous celebration of Diwali, the festival of lights, where countless diyas illuminate homes and streets to welcome Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, to daily prayers and aarti ceremonies. In the epic Ramayana, diyas were lit to celebrate the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya, signifying the triumph of good over evil and the restoration of dharma. Each flame represents a prayer, a wish, or a moment of gratitude, making this diya more than just an object; it is a vessel of devotion, a conduit for blessings. ––––––––––––––––––

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.
