The warm, radiant glow emanating from its flame symbolizes knowledge, purity, and the dispelling of darkness, both external and internal.

A Timeless Symbol of Light and Prosperity

The diya, or oil lamp, is an ancient and revered object in Hindu traditions. Its use dates back to Vedic times, where it was employed in various yajnas (fire sacrifices) and rituals to invoke blessings and ward off negative energies. The practice of lighting a diya is deeply rooted in the belief that light represents life, energy, and consciousness. It is believed that the flickering flame attracts divine presence and purifies the atmosphere, making it conducive for prayer and meditation. This brass diya, with its classic design, is a perfect vessel to hold the sacred flame, bringing a sense of sanctity and tradition to any setting.

The robust construction of brass ensures durability and longevity, making this diya a cherished item for years to come. Brass is considered a sattvic (pure) metal in Ayurveda and is often used for spiritual artifacts due to its auspicious properties. The elegant, low-profile design of this diya is both practical and aesthetically pleasing, allowing it to rest securely while it burns. The broad base provides stability, preventing any accidental spills, and the central raised portion is designed to hold the wick and oil with ease. Whether used for daily aarti, special festivals like Diwali, or as an accent in your puja room, this brass diya will enhance the spiritual ambiance of your home. ––––––––––––––––––––

Echoes of Mythology and Tradition

The tradition of lighting diyas is interwoven with countless myths and legends. During Diwali, the Festival of Lights, diyas are lit to welcome Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth and prosperity, and to celebrate the victory of light over darkness, good over evil. It is said that Lord Rama, upon his return to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana, was welcomed by countless diyas, symbolizing the dispelling of the darkness that had enveloped the kingdom during his exile. The gentle flicker of the flame in this brass diya serves as a reminder of these powerful stories and the enduring quest for spiritual illumination. It is more than just a lamp; it is a conduit to the divine, a symbol of hope, and a testament to a rich cultural heritage.

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.
