Illuminating Devotion: A Handheld Brass Lamp

This exquisite 9-inch handheld lamp is more than just a functional item; it's a beautiful expression of faith and tradition. Crafted from gleaming brass, its intricate detailing and elegant design evoke a sense of reverence and peace. The lamp's graceful form is perfectly complemented by the majestic peacock perched atop its handle – a creature rich in symbolism across numerous cultures. In Hinduism, the peacock is associated with the goddess Lakshmi, representing prosperity, beauty, and spiritual awakening. Its vibrant plumage and regal bearing make it a fitting adornment for this sacred piece, enhancing its spiritual significance.

The Symbolism of the Peacock

The peacock's presence on the lamp is far from arbitrary. Across various mythologies and cultures, this magnificent bird carries profound symbolic weight. In Greek mythology, the peacock was associated with Hera, the queen of the gods, symbolizing immortality and majesty. Its iridescent feathers were believed to possess magical qualities, capable of warding off evil spirits. In some cultures, the peacock represents the sun, its vibrant colours reflecting the divine light. This lamp, therefore, acts as more than a vessel for light; it’s a symbolic representation of divine grace, prosperity, and protection. The graceful curve of the handle, crafted in the shape of a peacock, further enhances its elegance and spiritual significance.

A Ritualistic Offering

This lamp is ideal for various spiritual practices and rituals. Its compact and portable design makes it perfect for personal use at home or for carrying to temples and sacred spaces. The brass construction is both durable and aesthetically pleasing, ensuring that this piece will become a cherished heirloom for generations to come. Its presence serves as a constant reminder of spiritual devotion and acts as a beacon of light and positivity. The subtle bell at the base, traditionally used to mark a beginning or end, enhances this ceremonial role. The soft chime adds a meditative and spiritual element to any ritual or practice.

Craftsmanship and Quality

This handcrafted lamp showcases the exceptional skill and artistry of traditional artisans. Each piece is meticulously crafted from high-quality brass, exhibiting exceptional detailing and a rich, warm finish. The intricate engravings on the lamp's body and base add further depth and complexity to its design. The lamp is meticulously polished, ensuring a radiant and reflective surface which enhances the warm glow of the flame within. The combination of the beautiful peacock design and high-quality materials makes this a truly special piece, perfect for adding a touch of spiritual elegance to any setting. The lamp's compact dimensions make it perfect for use in smaller spaces, such as a home altar, while still maintaining a strong 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.
