Arati

I feel so happy when I sing this arati. The familiar words and melody are a balm to me. I can see myself singing it in the Bhagavan Nitiyananda Temple for so many years—the Temple resounding with warmth and love. I can still feel it though I'm far away.

I love this Arati! It says everything I want to say to Bade Baba in the most concise, yet profound, way. Every time I sing it, my heart feels so much joy and gratitude.

This morning I decided to sing the Arati with Gurumayi before meditation. My mind became still, calm, at peace. What a beautiful reminder of a single practice I can do every day to move beyond my “monkey mind” to a state of connectedness with the stillness within.
 
I’m so grateful to have this beautiful chant highlighted here on the Siddha Yoga path website during the month of Bade Baba's Punyathiti.

Singing the Morning and Evening Arati is my one of my favorite practices. Just a few days ago, I had started singing it again after a long span of years. So it was a great surprise to find it on the Siddha Yoga path website today. My heart filled with gratitude and love for Gurumayi. Her love and blessings are the source of my life force.

It is really very nice to listen to the Morning and Evening Arati. I found myself wishing to listen again and again. The rhythm and music are so calm and profound. As I listen, my mind feels ecstasy and peace. I feel as if I were standing in front of Bade Baba in his Temple in Gurudev Siddha Peeth.
 
When I have offered seva there, it was wonderful to attend the Arati. After singing the Arati, we used to take food with the vibrations of the Arati in our hearts.
 
Just one week ago, I suddenly resolved to listen to this Arati every day in the morning and evening, but I didn’t have a recording of it. Now it is available on the Siddha Yoga path website. This reminded me of how close my Guru is to me.
