I bow before Lord Vinaayaka, who joyfully holds modaka in His hand, bestows redemption, wears the moon as a crown on His head, and is the single leader of people who are lost in the world. I adore Lord Ganesh, the leader of the leaderless, who vanquished the elephant demon Gajaasura and speedily eliminates the sins of all who bow down to Him.

This brass oil lamp has the divine image of Lord Ganesha at the crown. These are traditional floor lamps lighted with a cotton wick and oil. Traditionally, they feature a deep oil well and only one wick. In contrast to the lower sizes seen now, these lamps were frequently constructed in greater proportions and may still be found in places of worship. It is still a tradition to light these lamps during festivals and invite the blessings of Lord Ganesha to acquire prosperity in life.

This lamp, designed to hold a flickering flame, is not merely a decorative item but a conduit for spiritual connection and a symbol of auspicious beginnings.

His benevolent presence, meticulously sculpted in durable brass, radiates an aura of peace and prosperity. The intricate detailing on the lamp is a marvel of traditional Indian craftsmanship. Lord Ganesha is shown seated, adorned with his characteristic crown and divine ornaments. His trunk is elegantly curved, and his four hands are often depicted holding symbolic objects, signifying his power and blessings. The elaborate arched backdrop behind him, reminiscent of temple architecture, further accentuates his divine status. The lamp's base is sturdy and decorated with traditional motifs, providing a solid foundation for this sacred artifact. This lamp is a miniature shrine, capable of transforming any space into a sanctuary of devotion and tranquility. ––––––––––

Symbolism and Spiritual Significance

In Hindu mythology, Lord Ganesha is invoked at the commencement of any new undertaking, whether it be a marriage, a business venture, or the construction of a new home. His worship is believed to pave the way for success and ward off any hindrances. The lamp itself, known as a *diya* or *deepam*, is deeply symbolic in Indian culture. It represents light, knowledge, and the dispelling of darkness, ignorance, and negativity. Lighting a *diya* is a ritualistic act performed to invite positive energy, seek blessings, and mark significant occasions. The union of Lord Ganesha and the *diya* in this single artifact creates a powerful emblem of divine guidance and illumination. The material, brass, is also significant. It is considered a sacred metal in many traditions, believed to possess purifying qualities and to attract divine energy. This handmade piece, originating from India, carries the blessings of skilled artisans who have honed their craft over generations, imbuing each creation with an intangible spirit. This lamp is more than just an object; it is a piece of art, a spiritual tool, and a vessel of blessings, ready to bring its divine essence into your home or sacred space.

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.
