A Symbol of Grace and Divinity

Bring an aura of auspiciousness and refined artistry into your home with this exquisite brass lamp, meticulously crafted in the form of a peacock. The peacock, a creature of unparalleled beauty and grace, holds a significant place in various cultures and mythologies. In Hindu tradition, it is the Vahana, or mount, of Lord Kartikeya, the god of war, signifying victory, courage, and protection. Its resplendent feathers are said to have been shed by the celestial bird during its dance of joy, a spectacle that captivated gods and humans alike. The iridescent hues of its plumage are often associated with royalty, spiritual enlightenment, and the blossoming of creativity. This brass rendition captures the majestic essence of the peacock. The intricate detailing on its body, from the delicate scales on its neck and torso to the layered arrangement of its feathers, speaks to the skill of the artisan. The vibrant green accents adorning the body and wings evoke the natural beauty of this magnificent bird, transforming the metallic sheen into a lively, almost organic form. The statue is designed to hold a lamp, and the gracefully curved neck supports a functional oil receptacle, ready to be lit. ––––––––––

A Beacon of Light and Tradition

The act of lighting a lamp, particularly in decorative pieces like this, is steeped in tradition. In many homes, lamps are lit daily as part of prayers and rituals, inviting positive energy and dispelling darkness, both literal and metaphorical. This peacock lamp, with its inherent symbolism of beauty and divine association, adds a layer of spiritual significance to the practice. It can serve as a beautiful centerpiece for your prayer room, a striking accent on a mantelpiece, or a captivating addition to your collection of decorative art. Its presence is intended to not only illuminate your space but also to inspire a sense of peace, prosperity, and connection to ancient traditions. The durable brass construction ensures that this piece will remain a cherished item, passing down its story and its light through generations.

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.
