Illuminating Devotion: The Grand Multi-Tiered Puja Lamp

This magnificent multi-tiered puja lamp is a breathtaking centerpiece designed to elevate your spiritual practices and adorn your sacred spaces. Crafted from lustrous brass, this lamp stands as a testament to traditional Indian artistry and the enduring significance of light in religious ceremonies. Its tiered structure, reminiscent of ascending celestial realms or the blossoming of lotuses, creates a captivating visual spectacle, holding a multitude of diyas ready to be lit. Each tier is adorned with numerous small depressions, perfectly shaped to hold ghee wicks or oil, allowing for a cascade of flickering flames that symbolize dispelling darkness, both literal and metaphorical.

A Symbol of Auspiciousness and Divine Presence

The act of lighting lamps, or diyas, is deeply ingrained in Hindu traditions, representing the dispelling of ignorance and the invocation of divine blessings. The number 108 holds particular spiritual significance in many Indian religions, associated with rosaries, repetitions of mantras, and the total number of Upanishads. This lamp, capable of holding 108 diyas, thus becomes a powerful vessel for concentrated devotion and prayer, amplifying the positive energy and sanctity of your rituals. Lighting such a lamp is believed to invite prosperity, ward off evil spirits, and bring good fortune. In ancient tales, lamps were often lit to guide deities and heroes, and to mark auspicious beginnings. The warm, golden glow emanating from these many flames evokes a sense of peace, tranquility, and divine radiance.

Artistry and Heritage from South India

Hailing from the rich artisanal traditions of South India, this lamp embodies the meticulous craftsmanship passed down through generations. The use of brass is not merely aesthetic; it is a material revered for its purity and ability to conduct divine energy. The intricate detailing, though subtle on this particular piece, speaks to the skilled hands that shaped and assembled each component. The sweeping, graceful curve of the attached handle, designed for ease of movement during Aarti (a ritual of offering light), adds a functional elegance to its spiritual purpose. This lamp is more than just a decorative item; it is a functional artifact, a repository of cultural heritage, and a conduit for profound spiritual connection, designed to be a cherished part of your home for years to come.

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.
