Embrace the Divine Glow

This exquisite brass lamp, with its elegant stand, is more than just a source of light; it is a vessel of tradition and spirituality. Inspired by the rich cultural heritage of Kerala, this lamp embodies the essence of auspiciousness and divine presence. Its intricate design and lustrous brass finish evoke a sense of timeless beauty, making it a captivating addition to any sacred space or home decor.

A Beacon of Hope and Divinity

The tradition of lighting lamps, or 'Diyas', is deeply ingrained in Indian culture. It symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. In Hindu mythology, lamps are an integral part of daily worship and festivals. The Akhand Jyoti, an unbroken flame, is believed to invite positive energies and ward off negative influences. This five-wick lamp, with its multiple flames, amplifies this spiritual significance, creating a powerful aura of divine blessings and serenity. It is often lit during festivals like Diwali, the festival of lights, and other auspicious occasions to invoke the blessings of the gods and goddesses. The act of lighting the lamp is seen as an offering, a way to connect with the divine and express gratitude.

Craftsmanship Rooted in Tradition

Crafted from high-quality brass, this lamp is a testament to the skilled artisans of Kerala, renowned for their metalwork. The choice of brass itself carries symbolic meaning, as it is considered a sacred metal, often used in religious artifacts and idols. The lamp's design, with its delicate curves and layered base, reflects the aesthetic sensibilities of South Indian craftsmanship. The multi-wick design allows for a broader spread of light, illuminating your surroundings with a warm and inviting glow. This lamp is not just a decorative item but a piece of functional art that carries a legacy of tradition and devotion. Its compact size makes it versatile, perfect for altars, prayer rooms, or as a striking centerpiece on a table, infusing any space with a sense of peace and spiritual ambiance.

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.
