राम हरे, कृष्ण हरे, तवनाम वदामि सदानृहरे ||

A Divine Spectacle: The Brass Vishnu Dashavatar Oil Lamp

This exquisite brass oil lamp is a magnificent representation of the divine presence of Lord Vishnu and his ten avatars, a tableau designed to bring spiritual significance and aesthetic beauty to any sacred space. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this piece serves not only as a functional lamp but as a powerful devotional object, embodying the cyclical nature of creation, preservation, and destruction central to Hindu philosophy. The warm, lustrous glow of the polished brass enhances the intricate artistry, making it a focal point for prayer, meditation, or simply as a striking piece of cultural heritage.

The Ten Avatars: A Cosmic Narrative

The centerpiece of this lamp is the majestic depiction of Vishnu's Dashavatara, his ten primary incarnations. Each avatar represents a specific era and a divine intervention to restore cosmic order. Beginning with Matsya (the fish) who saved the Vedas from the primordial waters, followed by Kurma (the tortoise) who supported Mount Mandara during the churning of the cosmic ocean. Then comes Varaha (the boar) who rescued the Earth from the depths. Narasimha (the man-lion) emerged to vanquish the demon Hiranyakashipu, and Vamana (the dwarf) humbled the prideful King Bali. Parashurama, the axe-wielding Brahmin, and Rama, the righteous prince and hero of the Ramayana, follow. Krishna, the divine charioteer and exponent of the Bhagavad Gita, precedes the serene Buddha, who brought enlightenment. Finally, Kalki, the prophesied warrior on a white horse, will appear at the end of the Kali Yuga. Each of these figures is rendered with grace and devotional fervor, creating a narrative of divine action and cosmic balance.

Craftsmanship and Devotion

The skillful craftsmanship evident in this brass oil lamp speaks volumes of the artisan's dedication. The figures are sculpted with precision, capturing the iconic attributes and postures of each avatar, as well as the inherent divinity of Vishnu himself. The tiered arrangement of the deities creates a sense of ascending spirituality, drawing the viewer's eye upwards towards the supreme being. The generous, bell-shaped oil reservoir at the base is designed to hold ample oil, allowing for a sustained and beautiful flame, a symbol of knowledge dispelling ignorance and the divine light that guides humanity. This lamp is more than just an object; it is a testament to centuries of artistic tradition and deep spiritual devotion, designed to be a cherished heirloom for generations 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.
