A Beacon of Divine Light

Illuminate your sacred space with the radiant glow of this exquisitely crafted piece. More than just a source of light, this is a symbol deeply rooted in spiritual traditions, designed to enhance your daily rituals and connect you to the divine. The warm, inviting light emanating from the five wicks creates an atmosphere of serenity and reverence, perfect for meditation, prayer, or simply reflecting on the blessings in your life. The detailed craftsmanship and lustrous finish elevates any space with a touch of timeless beauty.

The Peacock's Grace

This remarkable piece features a majestic peacock. In many Eastern traditions, the peacock is revered as a symbol of beauty, grace, and wisdom. Its vibrant plumage represents the multifaceted nature of existence, while its association with deities like Lakshmi and Kartikeya underscores its auspiciousness. Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, is often depicted riding a peacock, symbolizing the transcendence of material desires through spiritual awakening. Kartikeya, the god of war and victory, also rides a peacock, signifying his command over ego and worldly attachments. The peacock, therefore, serves as a potent reminder of the potential for spiritual growth and the attainment of inner peace.

Crafted with Reverence

Forged from brass, this lamp embodies durability and elegance. The golden hue exudes warmth and radiance, while the sturdy construction ensures that this piece will be a cherished part of your spiritual practice for years to come. The five individual oil reservoirs allow for a balanced and harmonious illumination, creating a focal point for your prayers and meditations. The base provides stability and features delicate carvings, further enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. This is a statement piece that speaks to the importance of tradition, devotion, and the pursuit of enlightenment.

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.
