A very important aspect of the Samudramanthan is Lord Vishnu taking the Kurma (tortoise) avatar and proving balance to Mount Mandara. Since then, Kurma or tortoise is considered to be a symbol of stability and is believed to be a corrective solution for Vastu's flaws since it can balance the environmental energy around us as well as remove bad energy, thereby cleansing the area where it is maintained. This brass diya with a leaf and a tortoise emblem at the base is an excellent complement to a personal worship place in need of cleansing and positive aura enhancement. The leaf head elongating to make the wick and the fine depiction of the veins is a very creative addition that enhances the beauty of the lamp.

A Beacon of Auspiciousness: The Brass Pipal Leaf Diya on Turtle

Invite a divine glow and a sense of grounded stability into your sacred space with this exquisitely handcrafted brass diya. Resting gracefully upon the sturdy back of a meticulously detailed tortoise, the diya itself is shaped like a Pipal leaf, a symbol rich with spiritual significance in Hindu traditions. This union of earthly wisdom and celestial light creates an object of profound beauty and spiritual resonance. The Pipal tree, also known as the Bodhi tree, holds a sacred place in ancient Indian mythology and spirituality. It is believed to be the tree under which Lord Buddha attained enlightenment, making it a symbol of wisdom, peace, and spiritual awakening. In many homes, the Pipal tree is worshipped for its divine presence and the auspicious energy it is said to radiate. The leaf shape of this diya evokes the very essence of this revered tree, infusing your rituals with its blessings. The tortoise, or Kurma, is another potent symbol in Hindu cosmology. Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe, is said to have incarnated as Kurma to support Mount Mandara during the cosmic churning known as Samudra Manthan. This act stabilized the world and brought forth divine nectar. Thus, the tortoise represents unwavering support, longevity, stability, and the foundational energy of creation. Its inclusion beneath the diya signifies a grounding of divine light, ensuring that the blessings it bestows are rooted and enduring.

A Testament to Craftsmanship

Each diya is individually handcrafted from high-quality brass, a metal revered for its purity and its ability to conduct positive energy. The artisans have poured their skill and devotion into every detail, from the delicate texture of the Pipal leaf to the intricate pattern on the tortoise's shell and the endearing features of its head. The warm, golden hue of the brass adds an element of opulence and timeless elegance, ensuring this piece will be a cherished part of your spiritual practice for years to come. The compact size makes it perfect for placement on altars, study desks, or any corner that requires a touch of sacred radiance. Lighting this diya is not just an act of illumination; it is an invocation of ancient wisdom, divine support, and the enduring blessings of the cosmos.

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.
