Agreed. We now have convenient alternatives to many traditional ritual objects. For pujas or holy mass, for instance, LED lamps can imitate the appearance of conventional oil or and candles. Yet not everyone is willing to give up the familiar practices their ancestors have followed for generations. In religious rituals, an actual flame can have a significant impact that goes beyond its practical purpose. The smell of burning oil, the flickering light and the warmth of a flame can create a sense of connection with the sacred traditions of the past. A lamp that merely imitates a flame cannot quite reproduce that experience.
For many believers, the method is as important as the outcome. Lighting a lamp in the same way their ancestors did gives the ritual a sense of continuity. An LED lamp may be safer, cleaner and more convenient, but it can also feel somewhat artificial. What is gained in convenience may come at the cost of something less tangible: the personal and emotional meaning attached to the traditional practice. This is why many people continue to prefer real oil lamps, aroma incense burners.
If you are one of those people who say that tradition is more important than convenience, then here are 5 excellent oil lamps that blend tradition and modernity:
