Why to offer aarti
Everything that we have belongs to the
Lord and aarti is the method prescribed in the Vedic texts like the
Pancharatras to humbly and gratefully acknowledge his divine
proprietorship. When we prayerfully perform or reverentially observe the
aarti, our head becomes illumined with God's glory and our heart
enlivened with God's beauty. The items offered become transmuted into
carriers of divine mercy or Prasad and thus we can receive divine energy
from the lamp with cupped hands passed over its flames and touched to
the forehead, from the sacred water by having it sprinkled on our bowed
heads, from the sanctified flowers by reverentially smelling their
fragrance. So next time we attend an aarti, let's tune in to the divine
vibrations.
