भागवताची आरती
जयदेव जयदेव श्रीमद्भागवता ।
श्रवणें मननें पठणें भक्ती ये हाता ॥ धृ ॥
वेदाचें हें सार पाहे रसभरित ।
दशलक्षण हें आहे लक्षीत ॥ जय ॥ १॥
द्वादश स्कंधामध्यें हरीची लीळा ।
तिनशें पस्तिस अध्ये गाती गोपाळा ॥ जय ॥ २॥
अठरा सहस्र श्लोक गाती ऐकती ।
ज्यासी हरीभक्ती त्यासी तत्प्राप्ती ॥ जय ॥ ३॥
गायत्रीचें मंत्ररूप हें पाहें ।
परीक्षिति-शुकसंवाद आहे ॥ जय ॥ ४॥
भागवतरूपी देवा तूंचि अहेसी ।
करूं ही आरति एका-जनार्दनासी ॥ जय ॥ ५॥
                 इति

About this aarti — Vishnu

An Aarti is a song of worship sung while waving a lit lamp (diya) before the deity. The circling flame symbolises the removal of darkness and the offering of one’s ego at the feet of the divine. Aartis are sung at the end of puja in temples and homes across India, and their familiar melodies mark the rhythm of daily worship.

How to chant

Light a ghee or oil lamp on a small plate (thali), optionally with flowers, incense and akshata (rice grains). Sing the aarti while slowly circling the lamp clockwise before the deity. Afterwards, cup your hands over the flame, touch your eyes and forehead, and share prasad with everyone present.
