The Radiant Presence of Atharvana Bhadrakali

Illuminate your sacred space with the divine energy of Pratyangira Devi, also known as Atharvana Bhadrakali, embodied in this exquisite brass puja lamp. This meticulously crafted lamp is more than just a source of light; it is a conduit for spiritual power and a testament to ancient artistic traditions. Pratyangira Devi is a formidable aspect of the Divine Mother, revered for her ability to destroy negativity, ward off evil spirits, and provide protection. She is often depicted as fierce, with a lion-like or human-lion form, symbolizing her untamed power and unwavering resolve against malevolent forces. The central motif of the lamp features a powerful representation of Pratyangira Devi, seated majestically, often in a posture of fierce dominance, embodying her role as the vanquisher of ignorance and illusion. The divine countenance, radiating strength and compassion, is a reminder of her protective embrace. Flanking the main deity are depictions of other significant figures from the Hindu pantheon. To one side, the benevolent Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the deity of beginnings, is gracefully depicted, signifying the auspicious start to any endeavor. On the other side, a form of Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe, is often present, underscoring the cosmic order that Pratyangira Devi upholds. The entire tableau is set against an ornate, arched backdrop, intricately carved with motifs that speak of divine glory and celestial power. ––––––––––––––––––––

An Artifact of Devotion and Craftsmanship

This lamp is fashioned from high-quality brass, a metal revered in Vedic traditions for its purity and its ability to conduct spiritual energies. The warm, lustrous glow of brass complements the divine imagery, creating an aura of sanctity and devotion. The craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the sharp lines of the deities' features to the delicate patterns adorning the prabhamandala (aura) and the base. The tradition of lighting lamps during puja is deeply rooted in Hinduism, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and the divine presence within. Pratyangira Devi is particularly invoked during times of crisis or when facing powerful adversaries. Her mythology often links her to the Narasimha avatar of Vishnu, emerging from the pillar to protect Prahlada from his demon father, Hiranyakashipu. She is also associated with the Atharvaveda, the ancient scripture focused on spells, enchantments, and healing, further emphasizing her role as a protector against unseen forces. Lighting this lamp during your prayers is believed to invoke her potent energy, clearing obstacles, neutralizing negative influences, and bestowing spiritual strength and inner peace. This lamp serves as a beautiful and meaningful centerpiece for your altar, connecting you to the powerful blessings of Atharvana Bhadrakali.

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.
Image
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.
