A Dance of Divine Blessings: The Acrobat Elephant and Dancing Ganesha Lamp

Illuminate your sacred space with the divine grace and vibrant energy of this exquisite brass lamp. This magnificent piece, standing tall and majestic, features Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and patron of arts and sciences, captured in a dynamic dancing pose. His joyous movement signifies the celebration of life, the unfolding of possibilities, and the overcoming of challenges. The intricate details of his adorned form, from his royal headdress to the divine patterns on his attire, speak of his auspicious presence.

The Steadfast Support of the Mighty Elephant

The dancing deity is masterfully supported by an equally impressive elephant, rendered here as a skilled acrobat. In Hindu mythology, the elephant symbolizes strength, wisdom, and steadfastness. Airavata, the white elephant mount of Lord Indra, is a celestial being often depicted with immense power and purity. This lamp’s elephant, with its trunk gracefully curved to hold the lamp bowl, embodies this strength and unwavering support. The ornate saddle blanket draped over its back, adorned with detailed motifs and tassels, adds a regal touch, hinting at its divine lineage and noble purpose. The elephant’s posture, balanced and poised, reflects its ability to bear burdens with grace, much like Lord Ganesha removes obstacles from our paths. The base of the lamp is designed in a classical urn shape, further enhancing its stability and aesthetic appeal with decorative bands and patterns.

A Beacon of Light and Auspiciousness

This brass lamp is not merely a decorative item but a functional piece designed to bring auspiciousness and a warm glow into your home. The multiple wicks in the central bowl are ready to be lit, casting a radiant light that dispels darkness and negativity. In many Indian traditions, lamps, especially those adorned with deities, are an integral part of daily puja (worship) and festivals. The act of lighting a lamp is symbolic of inviting divine light, knowledge, and prosperity. This lamp, with the presence of Ganesha, invokes blessings for new beginnings, success in endeavors, and the removal of any impediments. The rich, golden hue of the brass enhances the spiritual aura of the piece, making it a striking addition to any altar, prayer room, or living space. Crafted from durable brass, this lamp is built to last, ensuring that its divine charm and light will grace your surroundings for years to come. It serves as a beautiful reminder of the joy found in overcoming challenges and the strength that comes from divine grace. Bring home this testament to artistry, spirituality, and auspicious beginnings.

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.
