Aarti is a humble ceremony in which light is symbolically offered to God. All day long God gives us the divine light of His /Her blessings which sustains us. Aarti is a time when we offer back the light of our thanks, our love and our devotion. Our little light is nothing compared to the divine light which shines on us all day... yet we offer it in thankfulness accompanied by words of appreciation.
Brahmeshwara Aarti also known as Lakulish Aarti was written in Gujarati by Swami Kripalvanandaji. The English translation includes an extra verse sung only in Power of Love Temple.
