A Beacon of Devotion and Tradition

This exquisite brass lamp, with its five distinct wicks, is more than just an object of utility; it is a vessel of spiritual significance, designed to illuminate your sacred spaces and amplify your prayers. Crafted from high-quality brass, its polished surface gleams with a warm, inviting glow, reflecting the divine light it is meant to embody. Each of the five cups is carefully shaped to hold a wick, ready to be lit and send its gentle flame dancing towards the heavens.

Symbolism and Sacred Significance

The practice of lighting lamps, or *diyas*, is deeply rooted in Hindu culture and mythology. Lamps are often lit during *pujas* (worship rituals), festivals, and auspicious occasions, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. The act of lighting a lamp is believed to invoke divine blessings, purify the surroundings, and create an atmosphere conducive to meditation and prayer. In Hindu lore, the flame is often seen as a representation of the Supreme Being, the cosmic consciousness that pervades all existence. The five wicks of this lamp can be interpreted in various ways, perhaps representing the five senses, the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, space), or the five sacred syllables of a mantra. Its presence in your home or prayer room can serve as a constant reminder of these profound spiritual concepts and a focal point for your devotional practices.

Craftsmanship and Cultural Heritage

This five-wick puja lamp is a testament to the rich heritage of Indian craftsmanship. The use of brass for religious artifacts is a long-standing tradition, owing to its perceived purity and durability. The intricate design, with its gracefully curved arms supporting the lamp cups, speaks to the skill and artistry of generations of artisans. This lamp is not merely a decorative item but a functional piece of art that connects you to ancient rituals and traditions. It is perfect for placing on your altar, in your puja room, or any corner of your home where you wish to foster a sense of peace and spirituality. Its substantial feel and radiant finish make it a cherished addition to any spiritual practice, offering a tangible link to the divine.

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.
