Arti
is considered as an important religious ritual
of our culture. It is an age old tradition
to perform Arti at the end of puja for our
household deity. We can bring happiness in
this Kaliyug if this Arti is performed with
understanding. Arti removes sins and brings
prosperity. The scriptures and religious teachers
show that Arti should be performed after puja.
Arti is performed in the temples two times
a day - in the morning and evening. Ladies
prepare the Arti with necessary items like
ghee, camphor, incense, etc. and perform Arti
of their chosen deities and enjoy the fruits
and success of puja. One who performs Arti
should have lots of belief in the power of
God. The atmosphere when Arti is sung full
of gratitude for God is one of peace and bliss.
The performer of Arti, too, feels one with
God. The flame of Arti makes one full of love
for God and also inspires her/him to be pure.
Arti has five deepaks which signify the five
elements our bodies are made up of. We are
made to realize that our bodies when dead
will go back to these elements.
