Performing Aarti Ritual

Here’s a general guide on how to perform a traditional aarti:

Preparation

• The Thali: Choose a beautiful plate, ideally made of metal like copper, brass, or silver. This is your aarti thali. Thoroughly clean the thali beforehand.
• Diya: Use a traditional earthen or metal diya. Place a cotton wick inside and fill the diya with pure ghee (clarified butter) or oil (sesame or mustard are good options).
• Offerings:
  • Flowers: Select fresh, colorful, and fragrant flowers that are pleasing to the deity.
  • Incense (Agarbatti): Choose incense with a scent that complements the deity and the overall atmosphere.
  • Kumkum: This red/orange/yellow powder, made from turmeric or saffron, is considered auspicious.
  • Water: Fill a small, clean vessel with fresh water.
  • Other offerings: Include items specific to the deity being worshipped or any special sweets or fruits.
• Assemble the Group: Gather everyone who wishes to participate. Designate one person as the lead for singing the aarti song, and ensure at least one person is available for ringing the bell (optional).

Lighting the Diya

1. Place the Offerings: Arrange all the items (diya, flowers, incense, kumkum, water, etc.) neatly on the thali.
2. Invocation: Take a moment to focus your thoughts on the deity. Chant a simple invocation mantra or prayer.
3. Light the Wick: Gently light the diya’s wick with a match or another small flame. The light from the diya symbolizes the removal of darkness and the presence of the divine.

Performing the Aarti

1. Start the Song: The designated person begins singing the aarti song dedicated to the specific deity being worshipped. Everyone else can join in if they know the lyrics.
2. Circular Movements: The person holding the aarti thali waves it in gentle, clockwise circles in front of the deity’s image or idol. This movement symbolizes the cycle of life and the light of the deity radiating in all directions.
3. Ringing the Bell: If you have a bell, ring it in conjunction with the aarti song.
4. Focus and Devotion: While the aarti occurs, everyone should focus their thoughts on the deity with love and devotion.

Offerings

1. Completing the Song: Once the aarti song is finished, continue moving the thali in circles for a few extra moments.
2. Flower Offering: Gently place a few flowers at the feet of the deity’s image or idol. This symbolizes offering our love and hearts.
3. Kumkum: Apply a dot of kumkum to the deity’s idol or image, and then offer kumkum to everyone present to apply to their foreheads.
4. Water: Lift the vessel of water and circle it around the deity as a mark of reverence.

Distribution of Prasad

1. Blessing the Offerings: The offerings on the thali are now considered “prasad” – food bless by the divine.
2. Distribution: Distribute small portions of the prasad to everyone present. This is often done by placing a little into each person’s cupped hands.
3. Receiving Prasad: Accept the prasad with reverence, traditionally with your right hand. Consume a small portion as a symbol of partaking of the divine grace.

Embrace the Power of Aarti

Aarti is a central aspect of Hindu worship, a beautiful expression of love, gratitude, and the seeking of divine blessings. Through the offering of light, accompanied by heartfelt prayers and songs, we connect with the divine and cultivate inner peace.
