The light of the lamp or Diya symbolises the supreme Brahman and the Janardhana – the one who is the master of the universe and liberates all. Let the light of this lamp eliminate our sins. My salutations to this eternal and effulgent light.
Note: This Sanskrit shloka is chanted everyday by millions of Hindus while lighting the Diya or Deepak. It is also chanted and used as a prayer during Diwali or Deepawali in which rows of lamps are lighted.
