Sanatan Vedic Hinduism has a unique place for the lamp, or diya. It represents the pure fire principle (teja) in form and symbol. The lamp is said to guide us from darkness to light. Its greatness comes from the reality that all it burns for is to spread to mankind the message of peace, light, healing, and good offspring. Lamps use the heat energy of fire to create a harmonious atmosphere and purify the air. The body and mind are both revitalised and refreshed by lamp fire. 

Ghee (clarified butter) lamps are definitely better than any other flammable material, according to the Agni Purana. Let us check out 9 lesser-known benefits of lighting a ghee diya at home according to Sanatan Dharma. 

Benefits Of Lighting Ghee Diya 

1. Lamps have the power to draw sattvic vibrations from the air around them. Even after the lamp has stopped blazing for several hours, the atmosphere is still affected by sattvikta, or the quality of being sattvic.

2. Lamp fire serves as a pesticide for the home. The amount of bacteria and viruses in the atmosphere is also decreased.

3. There is optimum healing for both the environment and people when lamps are lighted at sunrise and dusk.

4. Diwali, which is marked by the lighting of lights and lanterns, symbolises the triumph of good over evil. In your house, the same idea holds true.

5. Ghee diya is a way to invoke the divine's presence while praying and requesting favours. 

6. The soft, warm glow of the ghee diya makes it more appealing and encourages a celebratory atmosphere. It represents harmony and hope as well

7. Ghee Diya promotes peace of mind and happiness. Ghee diya's gently flickering light is thought to ward off evil spirits and foster mental clarity.  

8. The aroma that the ghee diya emits is pleasing, driving away offensive odours and fostering a peaceful atmosphere.
