Illuminating the Sacred Space

In the heart of countless rituals and daily devotions across various cultures, the lamp, or *diya*, holds a position of profound significance. More than a mere source of light, it is a symbol of knowledge, dispelling the darkness of ignorance, and a beacon of hope, illuminating the path towards enlightenment. Lighting a lamp is considered an auspicious act, invoking the blessings of deities and ushering in positivity. The gentle flicker of the flame represents the individual soul's yearning to merge with the divine. It's a reminder of the inner light that resides within each of us, waiting to be kindled and nurtured. As the flame rises, it signifies the ascent of consciousness, moving from the mundane to the sublime. The vibrant hues swirling around the base of this particular lamp only enhances this sentiment.

A Confluence of Art and Spirituality

Crafted from gleaming brass, a metal revered for its purity and association with divinity, this lamp is designed to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The lamp's base serves as a canvas of vibrant rainbow colors, reminiscent of the *Indradhanush*, the celestial bow of Indra, the king of gods in Hindu mythology. This mythological bow emerged after the great deluge, serving as a reminder of the covenant between the divine and humanity. The use of these colors infuses the lamp with an uplifting energy, invoking joy and optimism. Brass, itself a material used since antiquity for its durability and sheen, provides the perfect contrast to the colorful base, creating a harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary artistic expression. The golden hue of the brass evokes a sense of prosperity and abundance, while also mirroring the light of the flame itself, creating a dazzling interplay of radiance. The intricate detailing around the border further adds to the lamp's visual appeal, showcasing the skill and dedication of the artisans who crafted it.

A Gateway to Devotion

Whether used for daily *puja* (worship), special occasions, or as a decorative accent, this lamp creates a sacred atmosphere, transforming any space into a sanctuary. Its presence serves as a constant reminder of the divine, inspiring contemplation, gratitude, and inner peace. Allow the gentle glow of this beautiful piece to serve as a conduit to a deeper connection with 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.
