The Divine Light of Seven Wicks

Illuminating your sacred space and bringing an aura of spiritual grace, this exquisite brass lamp with seven wicks is a testament to timeless artistry and profound symbolism. Crafted from high-quality brass, its polished surface reflects the warm glow of candlelight, creating an ambiance of serenity and devotion. Each of the seven individual reservoirs is designed to hold a wick, allowing for a multi-dimensional display of light that is both visually captivating and deeply meaningful. This lamp is not merely a decorative item; it is a conduit for auspiciousness, a focal point for prayer, and a beautiful representation of the enduring power of light.

Echoes of Ancient Traditions

The practice of lighting lamps, or diyas, holds a significant place in many cultural and religious traditions, particularly in India. The seven-wick lamp, known as a *saptaparti* or *sapta-mukhi* diya, carries its own unique significance. In Hindu mythology, the number seven is considered sacred, often representing the seven chakras, the seven celestial bodies, or the seven sages (Saptarishi) who are custodians of cosmic knowledge. Lighting seven lamps can symbolize the dispelling of seven types of darkness or ignorance, paving the way for spiritual enlightenment and prosperity. It is believed that invoking the divine through the unified flame of multiple wicks amplifies prayers and intentions, drawing positive energies into the home or place of worship. This lamp can be used during various festivals like Diwali, the festival of lights, or for daily pujas, adding a traditional and sacred touch to your rituals.

A Symbol of Auspiciousness and Purity

Brass, the material from which this lamp is meticulously crafted, is highly valued for its purity and its association with divine energy in many ancient cultures. It is believed that brass resonates with positive vibrations and possesses the ability to purify the surrounding atmosphere. The lamp's design, with its sturdy base, elegant stem, and the multi-pronged receptacle for the wicks, speaks to both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The elevated structure with the heart-shaped finial at the top further adds to its intricate beauty, drawing the eye upward towards the heavens. This piece serves as a powerful reminder of the inherent divinity within and around us, a beacon of hope, knowledge, and spiritual awakening. Its compact size makes it ideal for placement on altars, prayer rooms, bookshelves, or any corner where you wish to invoke a sense of peace and divine presence.

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.
