A Beacon of Faith

Crafted from a harmonious blend of brass and wood, this piece serves as more than just a decorative item. It is a beacon of faith, designed to hold the sacred flames that banish darkness and invite prosperity and divine grace. This lamp is perfectly suited for prayer and meditation rituals, filling any space with warmth and reverence. The lamp is a tangible link to ancient traditions. The glow emanating from each wick represents not only physical light but also the illumination of the mind and spirit, dispelling ignorance and fostering understanding. Holding this lamp during prayer serves as a constant reminder of the divine presence in our lives.

The Significance of Seven

The design features seven individual receptacles for wicks, each holding the potential to radiate light and positive energy. The number seven itself is highly significant in many cultures and traditions. In Hinduism, the number seven is deeply woven into the fabric of mythology and spiritual practice. It is associated with the Saptarishi, the seven great sages who are considered the mind-born sons of Brahma and who are revered as the progenitors of humankind. Their wisdom and guidance are sought in spiritual pursuits. The seven chakras, the energy centers within the subtle body, are crucial for spiritual growth and well-being. Similarly, the seven vows taken during a Hindu wedding ceremony bind the couple in a sacred union, underscoring the importance of commitment and shared values. The seven rivers are also the sacred rivers in India. Lighting seven wicks symbolizes the invocation of these powerful forces and blessings.

Artistry in Form

The intricate brass work showcases a star like structure radiating from the base, further embellished with a detailed floral pattern. The smooth, natural wood handle provides a comfortable grip and a grounding element, connecting the user to the earth. The careful selection of materials and the meticulous craftsmanship result in a piece that is not only beautiful but also imbued with spiritual significance. Let this piece be a constant reminder of the light within you, the power of faith, and the beauty of 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.
