A Celestial Radiance: The Brass Peacock Hanging Lamp

Step into a realm of timeless elegance and divine beauty with this exquisite brass hanging lamp, meticulously crafted to evoke the splendor of the peacock. More than just a source of light, this piece is a testament to artisanal mastery and a symbol steeped in rich cultural heritage. Suspended by a delicate yet robust brass chain, it promises to cast a warm, inviting glow while serving as a captivating focal point in any space.

The Symbol of the Peacock in Indian Culture

Across India, the peacock holds a place of profound significance, interwoven with mythology and folklore. Revered as the King of Birds, it is the vahana (mount) of Lord Kartikeya, the god of war, and is also associated with Goddess Saraswati, the embodiment of knowledge, music, and art. Its magnificent plumage, a kaleidoscope of iridescent blues and greens, symbolizes beauty, immortality, and auspiciousness. In Hinduism, the peacock's association with Lord Krishna, who adorns his crown with a peacock feather, further amplifies its divine connotations, representing divine grace and protection. The intricate detailing of this brass rendition captures the very essence of this majestic creature, from the majestic fan of its tail to its regal posture, ready to grace your home with its symbolic presence.

Artistry in Brass: A Heritage of Craftsmanship

Forged from high-quality brass, this lamp is a durable and enduring piece of art. The medium itself carries a legacy of traditional Indian craftsmanship, with brass having been utilized for centuries in the creation of deities, decorative items, and functional household objects. Each curve and contour of this lamp is a result of skilled hands and time-honored techniques, ensuring a unique character and a tangible connection to the past. The natural patina of brass lends a warm, antique charm, which will only deepen with time, making this lamp a cherished heirloom for generations to come. Its compact size makes it versatile for various settings, from adorning a puja room with spiritual grace to adding a touch of exotic charm to a living space or entryway. Let its gentle illumination and symbolic beauty transform your environment into a sanctuary of peace and elegance.

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.
