Hymns of Vishnu Aarti The Vishnu Aarti is as follows: Om jai Jagadish Hare, svami jai Jagadish Hare, bhakt janon ke sankat, shan men dur kare, Om jai Jagadish Hare... Jo dhyave phal pave, dukh binse man ka, Sukh sampati ghar ave, kasht mite tan ka, Om jai Jagadish Hare... Matpita tum mere sharan gahun main kiski, Tum bin aur na duja, as karun main jiski, Om jai Jagadish Hare... Tum puran Parmatma, tum antaryami, Parbrahma parmeshvar tum sab ke svami, Om jai Jagadish Hare... Tum karuna ke sagar, tum palan karta Main murakh khal kami, kripa karo bharta, Om jai Jagadish Hare... Tum ho ek agochar, sabe ke pranpati. kis vidh milun dayamai, tum ko main kumati, Om jai Jagadish Hare... Din bandhu dukh harta, tum rakshak mere, Apne hath uthao, dvar pada main tere, Om jai Jagadish Hare... Vishai vikar mitao, pap haro deva, Shradha bhakti badhao, santan ki seva, Om jai Jagadish Hare... Tan man dhan jo kuchh hai, sab hi hai tera, Tera tujhko arpan, kya laga mera, Om jai Jagadish Hare... This verse sings the glory of Lord Vishnu, which describes him as the master of the universe, who relives his followers from distress and pain. Significance of Vishnu Aarti The term "arti" refers to the wish sung in honour of the Deity. Aarti is usually performed after the prayers. It is performed to make the Divine Lord happy. It engrosses waving the lighted wicks in front of the sacred image of Lord Vishnu. By performing aarti, one can rectify any errors made in the process of puja. After the process, the lighted wicks are passed around to receive the blessings. Devotees take the light into them and thus feel blessed and detained. He who meditates on Lord Vishnu reaps the fruit of blessings, happiness, wealth and cure from tough diseases. Vishnu is the most perfect and supreme lord of all and the controller of human’s innermost things. He is the only protector of the followers and lifts his ardent admirer who is lying at his doorsteps. The follower of Vishnu finally dedicates him his body, intellect and wealth because the Lord is the sole owner of all that mortals have. |
