A Celestial Beacon of Divine Radiance

This magnificent Annam lamp, standing at an impressive height, is a testament to the enduring artistry and spiritual devotion found in Indian craftsmanship. Fashioned entirely from lustrous brass, this lamp transcends its utilitarian purpose to become a commanding piece of art that evokes a sense of awe and sacredness. Its substantial presence, coupled with intricate detailing, makes it a truly remarkable addition to any space seeking to imbue it with an aura of tradition and spiritual significance. The design of this lamp is deeply rooted in the rich tapestry of Indian mythology and cultural symbolism. At its pinnacle, a resplendent peacock stands proudly, its form meticulously rendered in brass. The peacock, in Hinduism, is often associated with the goddess Saraswati, the deity of knowledge, music, art, wisdom, and learning. It is also a symbol of beauty, royalty, and immortality. The serene and majestic stance of the peacock atop this lamp suggests the illumination of wisdom and the blossoming of creative endeavors. The Annam, or Hamsa, also a recurring motif in Indian art, represents purity, knowledge, and the ability to discern truth from falsehood, often depicted as a divine vehicle for sages and gods. This lamp, therefore, is not merely a source of light, but a conduit for divine blessings and enlightenment.

The Artistry of Brass: A Legacy of Light

The material choice of brass is deliberate and steeped in tradition. Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, has been revered for centuries in India for its durability, malleability, and inherent spiritual properties. It is believed to attract positive energies and repel negative ones, making it an ideal material for sacred objects and ritualistic artifacts. The warm, golden hue of brass is reminiscent of sunlight, symbolizing prosperity, auspiciousness, and the dispelling of darkness, both literal and metaphorical. The lamp's surface is adorned with a symphony of patterns, each element crafted with painstaking detail. From the tiered base to the gracefully curved stem and the elaborately designed lamp holder, every section speaks of the artisan's dedication and skill. The elaborate carvings and motifs are not merely decorative; they are imbued with symbolic meaning, inviting contemplation and connection to the divine. This large-scale lamp is designed to be a focal point, casting a warm, inviting glow that creates an atmosphere of peace and reverence. Its sheer size and the quality of its craftsmanship ensure it will be a treasured heirloom, passing down stories and traditions through generations.

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.
