The Worship of Shri Ram & Sita
The *aarti of Shri Ram annihilates all the painful afflictions, burns sorrows and sins, and ravages desire from its very roots||1||
It is a garland of beautiful fragrant incense
and the best of lighted lamps.
Hearing the sound of clapping hands during the specific time of aarti, the bird of sins instantly flies away ||2||
Shri Ram's Aarti Spreads the Light of Spiritual Knowledge
This aarti destroys the darkness of ignorance dwelling in the abode of devotees' hearts and spreads the bright light of pure knowledge||3||
Kaliyuga, the Age of Spiritual Darkness
It is a cold winter night for devastating infatuation, intoxication and anger, the lotuses of Kaliyuga; is a love-messenger for helping us meet the nayika of mukti (salvation); and the sparkling flash of its body is like lightening ||4||
A Water Lily
The aarti is a garland of moonbeams for the blossoming of water-lily thickets of bhaktas who have taken refuge.
