A World of Light: Diyas, Tea lights, Candles

Today, with the hustle culture overwhelming our way of life, we frequently forget to stop and enjoy the little things in life. Some of us are the exception. We travel back to our roots by immersing ourselves in traditions and rituals that bring us true peace.

Lighting a lamp or diya is one such endeavour that truly elevates a spiritual experience and brings about an aura of positivity.

The Essence of Lighting a Lamp

 Around the world, light is mentioned in a wide variety of religions and cultures. It is always connected to righteousness and purity. It is also thought that light drives away evil spirits and darkness. It plays a significant role in many rituals and celebrations, particularly those held in India.

 Every religious event, ceremonial celebration, and daily act of worship must begin with the lighting of a deepam or a diya. The lighting of a lamp symbolises Agni – it destroys ignorance, unhappiness, and darkness while enabling the grace and divine energy of the Almighty throughout one’s space.

 Diyas

Diyas are an essential part of most festivals. They represent knowledge and wisdom. Without the lovely earthen diya, Diwali celebrations are incomplete.

The cotton wick in a diya is thought to represent the human spirit, while the five vices of human life—desire, wrath, greed, attachment, and ego—are symbolised by ghee or oil. So, lighting a diya represents the destruction of the five evils. Terracotta and brass diyas in unique designs are much sought after – because of their aesthetics and utility.

Today, terracotta diyas are used widely in Indian houses and at celebrations such as Deepavali.It is common to use these “fancy diyas” not only in one’s rituals but also as decor accents – because of their intricate designs.

Metals like brass and silver conduct positive energy well. Brass and silver diyas are thus commonly used in temples and homes during puja and celebrations. To bring good energy into your home, Vastu Shastra advises using brass diyas in the colors blue, green, red, dark blue, or pink.
