An Emblem of Illumination and Sacred Tradition

This exquisite brass lamp is more than just an object of light; it is a vessel steeped in rich cultural heritage and spiritual significance. Crafted from luminous brass, it embodies the enduring traditions of devotion and auspicious beginnings. Its design, featuring five distinct wicks, evokes the spirit of celebration and the dispelling of darkness, both literal and metaphorical. This lamp is a beautiful representation of the ancient practice of lighting diyas, which have been central to religious ceremonies, festivals, and everyday life in many cultures for millennia.

A Beacon of Divinity and Auspiciousness

In many South Asian traditions, the lighting of a lamp, or *diya*, is an act of profound spiritual importance. It symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. During festivals like Diwali, the festival of lights, homes are adorned with countless diyas, creating a breathtaking spectacle that symbolizes prosperity, well-being, and the welcoming of the divine. The five wicks on this particular lamp can be seen as representing the five elements – earth, water, fire, air, and ether – or the five senses, and when lit, they are believed to invite blessings and positive energy into the space they illuminate. The central spire, a hallmark of traditional Indian lamps, serves to hold a wick, directing the flame and further enhancing the lamp's ceremonial purpose.

Crafted for Devotion and Enduring Beauty

The solid brass construction of this lamp ensures its durability and timeless appeal. Brass, known for its lustrous sheen and ability to be intricately worked, has been a favored material for religious artifacts and decorative items throughout history. The lamp’s elegant stand elevates its design, creating a sense of presence and making it a captivating centerpiece for any altar, prayer room, or decorative space. Its modest size makes it versatile, allowing it to be placed on tabletops, shelves, or mantels, where it can cast a warm, inviting glow. Whether used for daily prayers, special ceremonies, or simply as an object of aesthetic appreciation, this five-wick brass lamp serves as a tangible connection to ancient rituals and a radiant symbol of peace and prosperity.

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.
