I love this arati; its lightness and joyfulness move me deeply.
After singing along to the arati, I realized that, whatever strength, success, and worldly achievements I may attain, I will still be alone at the hour of my passing, and none of these accomplishments will be of any help to me.
This realization reminded me how important it is to respect and honor the spiritual world while I am alive so that, at the moment of my passing, I may have the confidence to surrender to the Light and let go of all worldly attachments.

Happiness erupts in my heart and a smile appears on my face as I hear this arati to Lord Ganesh. It’s the same happiness I experienced when I met Gurumayi thirty years ago in Shree Muktananda Ashram with my three daughters from Australia. “Long journey,” Gurumayi said to us, and I felt she had seen through all my lifetimes, and I had come home. Gurumayi’s smile at that indelible moment reminded me that the happiness of the Self is always within.

I will continue to sing this arati during celebrations honoring Lord Ganesh. Just thinking of it makes me happy!
