extinguishes the flame of pain;
It burns up sin and sorrow,
burns down to the root of lust.
In a lovely mist of incense,
in a row of splendid lamps
Its ritual rhythm – the hand claps –
scares the bird of sin away.
It dissipates the darkness, the dumbness
from the house, the heart, of devotees;
It casts wide the net of purest truth.

Beautifully described...infcat I do strongly believe in lighting a lamp for the God both in the mornnigs and in the evenings...Also putting kolams at the entrance of the house also helps the house to prosper...chanting mantras and offering your prayers to God helps in taking the soul closer to God.
Yes a lamp lit symbolically suggests the removal of ignorance and ushering in of knowledge...
