Divya Mangal Aarti: A Celestial Symphony of Devotion
Vedic Chants: Vedic verses purify the atmosphere, amplify positive energy, and instill serenity. Pandit Sri Satyaditya Guruji, a revered scholar, and ardent devotee of the divine, researched on the Mokshalingas for ten months at Varanasi. Last year, he chanted vedic hymns to invoke all the Mokshalingas and prayed for the wellbeing of one and all. It was a never-before experience as he made everyone utter the name of each Mokshalinga.
Naivedyam: We thank Priya Parameshwara for bestowing rural ethnicity amidst tall skyscrapers and bringing us back to our roots. In a peaceful atmosphere, we express our gratitude for blessing us with the diverse charms and magnificence of the Indian Rural Heritage. We humbly offer food with love, and deep devotion.
Aarti: A Divya Mangal Aarti is offered to Shiva and Shakti in a manner that is similar to the traditional Ganga Aarti. Residents come forward and offer the Aarti as a dance of circles, resembling Purnatva. Under the dark sky, the glow of the Jagatpita travels faster than the speed of light. Om Namah Shivaya!
Mantra Pushpa: We can never thank Him enough, but he gets pleased very easily. An offering with flowers after symphonic celestial mantras, is an humble expression of love and gratitude.
Veda Chanting and Naivedyam: Commence a spiritual sojourn with the resonant echoes of Veda chanting, a melodic invocation to the revered Lord Shiva. As the verses unfold, weaving a tapestry of divine verses, witness the offering of naivedyam—a symbolic culinary tribute that symbolizes devotion and humility.
Aarti in Ganga Style: A Dance of Light and Faith Experience the enchanting spectacle of Aarti in Ganga Style, a sacred prayer performed by pandits adorned in traditional attire. They delicately circle brass lamps or diyas in a clockwise motion. This sacred practice of doing aarti is believed to imbue the lamps with the divine power of the deity, creating an ethereal ambiance.
Mantra Pushpa: A Vedic Blossom of Devotion Concluding the divine symphony, the soul-stirring Mantra Pushpa resonates, a Vedic hymn sung during the offering of flowers to Hindu deities. This poignant moment marks the culmination of Pujas, a floral tribute symbolizing purity, love, and the ephemeral beauty of devotion.
Benediction of Divine Radiance: Participate in this spiritual crescendo, where each element—the ancient verses, the rhythmic dance of light, and the floral offering—converges to pray for global peace and harmony. The ceremony captures the essence of devotion, allowing devotees to immerse themselves in the divine embrace of Lord Shiva.
Join us in the transcendental journey of Divya Mangal Aarti, where spirituality and tradition merge to create a tapestry of reverence and divine communion.

Divya Mangal Aarti: A Celestial Symphony of Devotion
Veda Chanting and Naivedyam: Commence a spiritual sojourn with the resonant echoes of Veda chanting, a melodic invocation to the revered Lord Shiva. As the verses unfold, weaving a tapestry of divine verses, witness the offering of naivedyam—a symbolic culinary tribute that symbolizes devotion and humility.
Aarti in Ganga Style: A Dance of Light and Faith Experience the enchanting spectacle of Aarti in Ganga Style, a sacred prayer performed by pandits adorned in traditional attire. They delicately circle brass lamps or diyas in a clockwise motion. This sacred practice of doing aarti is believed to imbue the lamps with the divine power of the deity, creating an ethereal ambiance.
Mantra Pushpa: A Vedic Blossom of Devotion Concluding the divine symphony, the soul-stirring Mantra Pushpa resonates, a Vedic hymn sung during the offering of flowers to Hindu deities. This poignant moment marks the culmination of Pujas, a floral tribute symbolizing purity, love, and the ephemeral beauty of devotion.
Benediction of Divine Radiance: Participate in this spiritual crescendo, where each element—the ancient verses, the rhythmic dance of light, and the floral offering—converges to pray for global peace and harmony. The ceremony captures the essence of devotion, allowing devotees to immerse themselves in the divine embrace of Lord Shiva.
Join us in the transcendental journey of Divya Mangal Aarti, where spirituality and tradition merge to create a tapestry of reverence and divine communion.
