In Indian tradition, we normally light a lamp or candle before we start any auspicious events, functions like a new beginning, a marriage function, inaugural function and much more. Apart from a normal cyclic ritual, I never gave it a second thought until yesterday when I saw a Malayalam movie; in which #Renji Panicker# (An Indian journalist, script writer, producer, actor, and director) gives an insight about this topic to a little girl.
As per VEDAS; FIRE is the strongest among the 5 elements of nature (PANCHABHUTAS – EARTH, WATER, AIR, FIRE AND SKY).When we begin something auspicious; a witness (Sakhshi) is an essential element. AGNISAKSHI (FIRE IS THE WITNESS). When we light a fire for example a lamp; the lamp reflects YOU and the wick reflects the spark that will enlighten your mind. You will be energized and filled with lots of energy and positivism.
This thought did enlighten me. So I thought to share it ! Have a nice day!
