An Emblem of Auspicious Offerings

This exquisite brass incense burner is more than just a vessel; it is a gateway to sacred rituals and a testament to artisanal mastery. Crafted from high-quality brass, its intricate design speaks of a rich heritage, evoking a sense of timeless devotion and spiritual practice. The lustrous sheen of the metal, polished to a warm glow, complements the detailed, openwork carvings that adorn its surface. These delicate filigree patterns are not merely decorative; they are imbued with symbolic meaning, often representing the bounty of nature, celestial motifs, or auspicious symbols found in ancient Indian art and architecture.

Echoes of the Divine

In ancient traditions, the burning of incense, or 'dhupa,' is a fundamental aspect of worship, meditation, and purification. It is believed that the fragrant smoke carries prayers and aspirations to the heavens, pleasing deities and creating a serene atmosphere conducive to spiritual connection. From the Vedic age, where offerings of fragrant resins like frankincense and myrrh were made to the gods, to the daily pujas performed in homes and temples across India, incense has been an indispensable element. This burner, with its elaborate design, would have been an ideal companion for such rituals, its smoke swirling through the pierced panels, creating a captivating visual dance. Imagine it gracing an altar, its golden form catching the light as fragrant plumes ascend, transforming the space into a sanctuary. The very act of using such a piece connects one to generations of devotees who have sought solace and divine communion through aromatic offerings.

A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship

The detailed craftsmanship evident in this burner is a hallmark of traditional Indian metalwork. The artist has meticulously hand-tooled the brass, shaping it into a form that is both functional and aesthetically captivating. The spherical body, tapering slightly towards the neck, is reminiscent of traditional water vessels or decorative urns, adding to its classic appeal. The lid, crowned with a finial, fits snugly, ensuring that the embers and ashes are contained, while also allowing the fragrant smoke to escape in controlled wisps. The intricate floral motifs and geometric patterns are rendered with a precision that speaks volumes about the skill of the artisan. Such pieces were often commissioned for temples or wealthy households, representing not just devotion but also a display of wealth and artistic appreciation. This burner stands as a proud example of this enduring craft, ready to bring its beauty and spiritual resonance into your home.

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.
