"Jai Jagdeesh Hare" Aarthi & Essence of Gita





In the Hindu household, dusk and dawn, hold a special significance as far as prayer is concerned, as it is during this transition (From dawn to morning, and dusk to evening) that negativity needs to be burnt and righteousness welcomed.
Traditionally the 'Aarti' is performed during the morning and evening in a Hindu household.
The Aarti consists of a small flame, which burns on a wick, placed on a plate, which is rotated round the Deity.
The Ritual of the Aarti makes the light of the flame dispel darkness, the incense that is burnt gives out fragrance, a bell is rung, hands are clapped while one sings the Aarti. All the above is very good to ward of an evil eye!
The 'Aarti' reminds us of the greatness of the Lord, because the flame that we rotate is symbolic of the Cosmos (Sun, Moon, Stars) revolving around the Almighty paying obeisance to Him.
A beautiful prayer is sung, for the Lord of the Universe 'Jagadeesh'.
Jagadeesha comes from 2 words 'Jagat' and 'Eeshwara'
'Jagat means 'Creation' and 'Eeshwara' means Lord.

THE ESSENCE OF THE GITA
  • WHY DO YOU WORRY UNNECESSARYILY? FROM WHOM DO YOU FEAR? WHO CAN KILL YOU? THE ATMA IS NOT BORN, NOR DOES IT DIE.
  • WHATEVER HAPPENS, IT IS FOR THE GOOD, WHATEVER IS HAPPENING, IT IS ALSO GOOD. WHAT HAPPENS, THAT TOO WILL BE GOOD. YOU DO NOT REPENT FOR THE PAST. DO NOT WORRY FOR THE FUTURE. THE PRESENT IS GOING ON.
  • WHAT HAS GONE OF YOURS THAT YOU ARE CRYING? WHAT DID YOU BRING WITH YOU THAT YOU HAVE LOST? WHAT DID YOU GIVE BIRTH TO, THAT IT HAS BEEN DESTROYED? NO YOU DID NOT BRING ANYTHING WITH YOU, WHATEVER YOU TOOK YOU TOOK FROM HERE. WHATEVER YOU GAVE YOU GAVE FROM HERE. YOU HAVE COME EMPTY HAND AND WILL GO EMPTY HAND. WHAT IS TODAY YOURS - IT WAS YESTERDAY SOMEONE ELSES, THE DAY AFTER IT WILL BE OF SOMEONE ELSE. YOU ARE THINKING IT IS YOURS AND ARE BEING HAPPY. WELL THIS HAPPINESS IS THE CAUSE OF YOUR SORROW.
  • CHANGES ARE THE WORLD'S SPECIALITY. WHAT YOU CONSIDER AS DEATH IS ACTUALLY THE LIFE. IN ONE SECOND YOU ARE A MASTER OF CRORES, NEXT SECOND YOU ARE A BEGGAR. MINE - YOURS, SMALL - BIG, OURS - THEIRS, REMOVE THIS FROM YOUR MIND, REMOVE FROM YOUR THINKING, THEN YOU HAVE EVERYTHING, YOU BELONG TO EVERYONE.
  • NO THIS BODY TOO IS NOT YOURS - NOR YOU ARE FOR THE BODY. THIS IS MADE FROM FIRE, WATER, WIND, EARTH AND SKY AND WILL MERGE IN IT.
  • BUT THE ATMA IS PERMANENT, THEN WHAT ARE YOU?
  • YOU SURRENDER YOURSELF TO THE LORD. THIS IS THE BEST SUPPORT. THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND THIS SUPPORT, THEY ARE FOREVER FREE FROM FEAR, WORRY, AND SORROW.
  • WHATEVER YOU DO, OFFER IT TO THE LORD. BY DOING SO YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE EXPERIENCE OF LIFE FREEDOM HAPPINESS.
