English: The Significance of Lighting a Lamp in Hinduism
Light symbolizes the absence of darkness, grief, and sorrows. It indicates inside knowledge being illuminated, along with enlightenment. Knowledge is an endless wealth that is able to remove ignorance, much like how the light removes darkness. Bowing down to a lit oil lamp is bowing down to knowledge in the greatest form. • The oil or ghee in the lamp signifies our vices. When lit by spiritual knowledge, the vices are slowly and gradually exhausted, while the ego perishes as well. • The wick, the main object used to light an oil lamp, signifies the ego. When a lamp emits lighting, it also is a symbol of power and brightness. • The flames of a lamp continually burn upwards. Similarly, it also represents knowledge being attained to take us towards higher values. It's a custom to light a lamp initially before starting any auspicious events or ceremonies. As a result of lighting it, darkness will be removed, alongside any ignorance, evil, worries, troubles, stress, and also disappointment. Light symbolizes awareness. By lighting the lamps, the almighty’s delightful grace will spread all over the house. The first and foremost appearance of the God will be the Light, which is also known as Divine Light. Lighting a lamp has a deep spiritual significance. As the light of the lamp destroys all ignorance, bestows knowledge, brings inauspiciousness, wealth, health and prosperity. It helps to burn away the negative tendencies in the mind and the sins of past lives. Verily, the light of the lamp is looked upon as the supreme Brahman, to whom salutations are made with sincere devotion and piety. Subham Karoti Kalyanam, Arogyam Dhana Sampadah, Shatru Buddhi Vinashaya Deepa Jyotir Namostute. ‘ I salute the One who is the lamplight that brings auspiciousness; prosperity, good health, abundance of wealth, and the destruction of the intellect’s enemy (6 enemies - Kama, krodha, lobha, moha, mada and matsarya)’. |
