Embodiments of Divine Radiance

This exquisite pair of brass oil lamps stands as a testament to the artistry and devotion of traditional craftsmanship. Standing at an impressive height, these lamps are not merely decorative pieces but sacred vessels designed to bring light, purity, and auspiciousness into your sacred spaces. Each lamp is meticulously crafted from lustrous brass, chosen for its enduring beauty and its association with divine energies in various spiritual traditions. The intricate detailing and elegant form speak to a rich heritage of ritualistic art, making them perfect for adorning altars, puja rooms, or any area where you seek to cultivate an atmosphere of tranquility and reverence.

Symbols of Auspiciousness and Divine Presence

The design of these lamps is deeply rooted in Hindu iconography, specifically the symbols of the Shankha (conch shell) and the Chakra (discus). The conch shell, a sacred emblem of Vishnu, is believed to produce an auspicious sound that dispels negativity and calls forth divine blessings. It is said that Lord Vishnu himself blew the conch shell, the Panchajanya, to defeat demons and restore cosmic order. Similarly, the discus, another powerful symbol associated with Vishnu, represents the all-pervading power of the divine, the cycle of time, and the protection of righteousness. These lamps, crowned with representations of these powerful Vaishnava symbols, are imbued with the essence of divine protection and spiritual illumination. Lighting these lamps is an act of invoking the presence of the divine, dispelling darkness, both literal and metaphorical, and inviting prosperity and well-being into your life.

A Tradition of Light and Devotion

The practice of lighting oil lamps, known as 'diya' or 'deepam', is an ancient and integral part of Hindu worship and cultural practices. These lamps are lit during countless festivals, ceremonies, and daily rituals to symbolize the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. The warm, flickering glow of a lamp is believed to purify the atmosphere, attract positive energies, and create a sacred ambiance conducive to prayer and meditation. This particular pair, with their majestic stature and symbolic resonance, are ideal for significant occasions such as Diwali, Navratri, or any personal puja where a profound spiritual connection is sought. Their presence enhances the sanctity of the ritual, drawing upon centuries of tradition and devotion. Each curve and embellishment on the brass is a reflection of the reverence with which they were created, intended to serve as a conduit for blessings and divine grace.

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.
