An Emblem of Sacred Offerings

This exquisite brass stand, meticulously handcrafted in India, is more than just an object; it is a vessel for devotion and a conduit for spiritual connection. Its elegant, boat-like basin is designed to hold sacred ash, known as Vibhooti or Bhasma, a substance steeped in ancient ritual and mythology. Vibhooti is often made from the consecrated ash of sacrificial fires (Yajna) or holy trees, and is considered a symbol of purity, detachment, and the transformative power of the divine. Its application on the forehead is a mark of spiritual discipline, signifying the burning away of ego and worldly attachments, much like the ashes that remain after a powerful fire.

Echoes of Ancient Traditions

In Hindu traditions, Vibhooti is intimately associated with Lord Shiva, the ascetic deity who smears his body with the ashes of cremation grounds. This practice symbolizes his transcendence over life and death, and his complete renunciation of material possessions. The offering of Vibhooti in a dedicated stand, especially one as beautifully crafted as this, enhances the sanctity of the ritual. It can be used in daily prayers (Puja), meditation practices, or during special ceremonies, serving as a constant reminder of the ephemeral nature of the material world and the eternal presence of the divine. The brass itself, a metal revered in Vedic traditions, adds to its auspiciousness, believed to possess purifying and energizing properties.

Artistry Rooted in India

Each stand is a testament to the rich heritage of Indian craftsmanship. The artisans have poured their skill and devotion into shaping the brass, creating a piece that is both functional and aesthetically captivating. The subtle sheen of the polished brass, coupled with its sturdy, geometric base, creates a harmonious balance. This handcrafted nature ensures that each stand possesses a unique character, making it a truly special addition to any sacred space, altar, or meditation corner. It invites a moment of pause, a connection to the timeless practices that have shaped spiritual journeys for millennia. Its compact size makes it versatile, fitting seamlessly into any devotional setting, while its enduring material ensures it will be a cherished piece for years to come.

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.
