Invoke the Blessings of Kubera, the God of Wealth

The Kubera Vilakku is intrinsically linked to Lord Kubera, the king of the Yakshas and the divine treasurer of the universe in Hindu mythology. Often depicted as a plump, amiable deity adorned with jewels, Kubera is revered as the bestower of wealth and fortune. It is believed that lighting a Kubera Vilakku, especially during significant festivals like Diwali or on Fridays, the day associated with Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, attracts Kubera's benevolent gaze and his blessings of material prosperity and financial well-being. This lamp serves as a powerful symbol and conduit for invoking his divine grace, helping to manifest abundance and financial stability in the lives of its devotees.

A Tradition of Light and Purity

Lighting lamps, or 'deepams', is a fundamental practice across various Hindu traditions. The lamp symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. It is an integral part of daily prayers, rituals, and celebrations, creating an atmosphere of sanctity and devotion. The act of lighting a lamp is believed to purify the environment, both physically and energetically, and to please the deities. This brass Kubera Vilakku, with its traditional design and association with wealth, amplifies these spiritual benefits, creating a sacred ambiance conducive to meditation, prayer, and fostering a deeper connection with the divine. Its warm, golden hue further enhances the feeling of auspiciousness and prosperity.

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.
