A Sacred Offering of Light

Embrace the divine with this exquisite five-wick aarti lamp, a masterpiece crafted from fine brass. Its design is a harmonious blend of spiritual symbolism and artistic ingenuity, making it a profound addition to any sacred space or home altar. The lamp's structure, with its five individual cups, is designed to hold and illuminate five ghee-soaked wicks, each representing a fundamental element or a prayer offered with deep devotion. The gentle flicker of these flames symbolizes the dispelling of darkness, both literal and metaphorical, bringing clarity, peace, and spiritual awakening.

The Divine Serpent's Embrace

The most striking feature of this aarti lamp is the elegantly sculpted serpent that arches over the lamps, its hood providing a watchful and protective presence. In many Eastern traditions, the serpent, particularly the cobra, holds immense significance. It is often associated with Kundalini energy, the primal spiritual force coiled at the base of the spine, representing divine power, protection, and transformation. The serpent is also seen as a guardian of treasures and wisdom. Its presence here, alongside the sacred fire, evokes the blessing of divine protection and the awakening of spiritual consciousness. In Hindu mythology, deities like Lord Shiva are often depicted with a serpent coiled around their neck, signifying control over primal energies and their role as the cosmic dancer who destroys and regenerates the universe. Similarly, the Naga kings are revered as protectors and bringers of prosperity. This serpent motif transforms the aarti lamp from a simple vessel for light into a powerful symbol of divine grace and protective energy.

A Symbol of Worship and Ritual

The Aarti ritual itself is a deeply revered practice in many Indian cultures. It involves the waving of a lamp, adorned with multiple wicks, before the deities as a sign of reverence, gratitude, and supplication. The light from the lamp is believed to carry prayers to the heavens and to bless those who witness it. This five-wick lamp is perfectly suited for performing the full Aarti ceremony, allowing for a more elaborate and visually captivating offering. The warm glow emanating from the five flames creates an aura of sanctity and devotion, enhancing the spiritual atmosphere of any prayer or ritual. The sturdy brass construction ensures its longevity and its ability to withstand the heat of the flames, making it a reliable companion for your daily spiritual practices or for special festive occasions. This lamp is not just an object of worship; it is a tangible connection to ancient traditions and a conduit for divine blessings.

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.
