॥ Shree Ganesh Ji’s Aarti ॥

Jai Ganesh, Jai Ganesh,Jai Ganesh Deva।

“Jai” means victory. It means that we are prostrating ourselves before Lord Ganesh. Gana means ‘we all’, ‘eesh’ means the head. We all are the part of the Gana. Let us see an illustration. The National Anthem of India begins with a phrase “Jana Gana Mana”, here the term Gana also means public. We can become Ganesh if we realize our true reality. The head of us is Ganesh, the Soul residing within. Thus, in this phrase, we are ought to perform prostrations before our own Self, rather than any physical form.

Mata Jaki Parvati,Pita Mahadeva॥ 

We are aware of the story that Mother Parvati created the form of Lord Ganesh. Thus, we can conclude that the Energy manifests Itself into a plethora of forms. And, even a notion that the union of Shiv and Shakti at the Ajna Chakra unveils the Self. The Shiv, the Shakti and their son Ganesh also dwells within. This is Self realization, in Moksha, the Nirvana.

Ekadanta Dayavanta,Char Bhujadhaari।

One tusk (Ekdanta) in the physical from of Lord is very important. It does not mean the clashes He underwent in a battle. One-pointedness for an aim is very essential. Dwindling over all the aspects of Existence shall drift us nowhere. Once the single-sightedness appears, humbleness and positive emotions for all, shall descend. All the fingers work together, even if any one is affected. The concept of Charbhuja shall be discussed later, as it needs a longer description.

Mathe Upar Tilak Viraaje,Muse Ki Savari॥ 

When we put tilak at the glabella, the Ajna Chakra receives stimulation. If we are prepared, we feel the Energy as well. Musa means a mouse. His vehicle is a mouse. It means that a colossal form, in terms of wealth and bounties, shouldn’t be amplified. The balloon of ego shouldn’t swell up.

Andhana Ko Aankh Deta,Korhina Ko Kaya।

Andhana means a blind person. We all are blinds. The discussion must not slip into a superficial one. Since, we haven’t seen our Soul yet, thus we are blind. Enlightenment cures our Inner Sight forever. Korhina means a leper. We all are diseased in some or the another way. We face physical and mental pseudo-restrictions. Enunciating the Name with faith, shall free us.

Banjhana Ko Putra Deta,Nirdhana Ko Maya॥ 

Once the Target is achieved, the tenants, the riches and the bounties belong to us. There is a quote “Bhagti firti thi duniya jab talab karte the hum, bekaraar aane ko hai jabse muh moda hai“. As we run away from physical riches, and towards Inner Treasures, gross shall appear readily before us. Running towards the gross, repels it farther. He comes Himself, running towards us, and lifts us in His arms.

Paan Charhe, Phool Charhe,Aur Charhe Meva।

‘Soora’ Shyama Sharana Aaye,Saphal Kije Seva।/

Let us offer the best assets to Lord. Let us render our pure minds, the ego at Thy feet, and then rejoice under His umbrella. All the best delicacies are offered, but the mind is kept safe. Opposite efforts are needed. Rama takes birth in Awadh, Ayodhya, the place devoid of violence and drudgery.

Jai Ganesh, Jai Ganesh,Jai Ganesh Deva।

Mata Jaki Parvati,Pita Mahadeva॥
