Om Shakthi Vilaku Small

Product details

The Divine Light of Om and Shakti United

Welcome the combined power of the primordial sound Om and the Divine Feminine Shakti with this beautifully crafted brass vilaku (lamp). This sacred lamp represents the union of sound (sabda) and energy (shakti)—the fundamental principles of creation according to Hindu philosophy. When lit during worship, this vilaku becomes a conduit for divine grace, transforming your sacred space into a temple filled with the protective, nurturing energy of the Goddess.

The Significance of Om Shakthi

Om is the primordial sound from which all creation emerged—the sonic representation of Brahman, the ultimate reality. It encompasses all sounds, all words, all mantras. Shakti, meaning “power” or “energy,” is the active, dynamic force of the Divine Feminine that animates all of creation. She is worshipped as Durga, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Kali, Parvati, and countless other forms, each representing different aspects of Her infinite nature.

The combination “Om Shakthi” acknowledges that the formless absolute (represented by Om) manifests through divine energy (Shakti) to create, sustain, and dissolve the universe. In Tantric philosophy, Shakti is inseparable from Shiva (consciousness)—She is the dynamic power while He is the static awareness. Together they form the complete reality.

Lighting a lamp before the Om Shakthi symbol is a powerful practice that honors the Goddess in all Her forms. It is particularly significant during Navaratri (nine nights celebrating the Goddess), Fridays (sacred to Shakti), and during any goddess-focused worship. The flame represents the light of consciousness that dispels the darkness of ignorance, while the Om symbol reminds us of the ultimate truth beyond all forms.

Traditional Brass Vilaku Craftsmanship

This vilaku is handcrafted from premium brass using traditional metalworking techniques preserved for generations in South India. Brass, an auspicious alloy of copper and zinc, is the preferred material for sacred lamps due to its durability, ability to conduct positive energy, and beautiful golden luster that symbolizes divine radiance.

The design typically features the Om symbol prominently displayed, often with additional decorative elements representing Shakti—such as the trishul (trident), lotus motifs, or abstract representations of divine energy. The lamp is designed to hold oil (traditionally sesame or ghee) and cotton wicks, creating a steady, pure flame that represents the eternal light of consciousness.

The compact “small” size makes this vilaku perfect for personal altars, meditation spaces, and daily worship without requiring extensive space. Despite its size, it maintains the traditional proportions and sacred geometry that optimize the flow of positive energy during worship. Over time, the brass develops a rich patina from exposure to flame and oil, adding character and spiritual depth to the piece.
