An Emblem of Divine Abundance and Prosperity

Welcome the divine presence of the Ashtalakshmi into your home with this exquisite brass diya. This lamp is not merely a source of light, but a sacred artifact, meticulously crafted to invoke the blessings of the eightfold Goddess Lakshmi, the embodiment of wealth, fortune, and auspiciousness. Each intricately sculpted figure atop the lamp represents one of her powerful forms, bringing their unique attributes into your sacred space.

The Eightfold Forms of Goddess Lakshmi

The Ashtalakshmi are a manifestation of the Goddess Lakshmi, each presiding over a specific domain of prosperity. This diya honors them all: Adi Lakshmi, the primal energy and source of all; Dhana Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and material abundance; Dhairya Lakshmi, who bestows courage and strength; Gaja Lakshmi, associated with royalty, power, and victory; Santana Lakshmi, who grants progeny and family well-being; Vidya Lakshmi, the bestower of knowledge and wisdom; Vijaya Lakshmi, the goddess of victory and success; and Saubhagya Lakshmi, who grants good fortune and marital bliss. Together, they create a powerful aura of divine grace, inviting prosperity and abundance in all aspects of life. In Hindu mythology, it is believed that to invoke even one form of Lakshmi is to invite immense blessings. To have all eight represented in one sacred vessel is to invite a cascade of divine favor.

Craftsmanship and Spiritual Significance

Crafted from high-quality brass, this diya possesses a timeless elegance and a substantial feel, reflecting its inherent spiritual value. Brass is traditionally considered a sacred metal, highly valued for its purity and ability to conduct divine energy. The polished finish of the brass amplifies the radiance of the flame, creating a mesmerizing dance of light that further enhances the sacred ambiance. The detailed carvings depict the divine forms with reverence, making this diya a centerpiece for any altar, prayer room, or auspicious occasion. It serves as a constant reminder of the divine feminine energy that sustains and nourishes creation, a beacon of hope and a conduit for blessings.

Bringing Auspiciousness into Your Home

Lighting a diya is an ancient ritual, symbolizing the dispelling of darkness and ignorance, and the ushering in of light, knowledge, and prosperity. This Ashtalakshmi Diya elevates this practice, infusing every flicker of flame with the multifaceted blessings of the Goddess. It is an ideal addition for daily prayers, festivals like Diwali, weddings, housewarmings, or any moment when you wish to invite positive energy and good fortune. The presence of this diya is said to purify the environment and attract wealth, health, and happiness to its devotees. It is a powerful symbol for those seeking not just material wealth, but also spiritual growth and inner peace.

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.
