Arti

Singing an Arti conceived with the resolve of Saints accomplishes these objectives, but only when it is sung from the heart and as per the science of Spirituality.

Offering Arti has been designed as an easy means for man to be able to realise God.

Arti is meant to be performed at sunrise and sunset. At sunset, the Arti is performed to destroy the raja-tama frequencies and to invoke the Deities' 'marak Chaitanya'.

By blowing the conch 3 times before beginning any ritualistic worship, movement of negative energies in the environment is reduced.

The Arti should be sung with the bhav that 'God Himself is standing in front and I am calling out to Him earnestly'.

Singing the Arti should be accompanied by clapping. For seekers in the primary stage clapping should be done softly to maintain a rhythm.

When offering Arti, using a lamp with five wicks (also called pancharti), the platter containing this lit lamp should be waved in a full circle in front of the Deity.

Accompaniment of musical instruments like bell, Cymbals, Tabla etc. enhances the bhav and makes the Arti more effective.
