Akhanda Jyoti Sthapana at Sharmalaya
In our Hindu culture, lighting a lamp denotes dispelling away darkness. The lamp is, in most Indian languages, called as “Jyoti”. When we pray to Goddesses by lighting a lamp, the belief is that we will be richly rewarded with tremendous prosperity.
The oil or ghee in the lamp symbolizes our vaasanas or negative tendencies and the wick, the ego. When they are enlightened by spiritual knowledge, the vaasanas are slowly exhausted and the ego also perishes. The flame of a lamp always burns upwards. Likewise, we must acquire knowledge that leads us to higher ideals.
In reality, it is said that Goddess Rajarajeshwari resides in the lamp – she represents the combined form of Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswathi.
Propitiating the Deepalakshmi (in the form of Rajarajeshwari) with vermillion, flowers, and stotras every Friday can give immense benefits that cannot be described in words.
