Durga Maa Aarti
Durga Maa Aarti
जय अम्बे गौरी मैया जय मंगल मूर्ति ।
तुमको निशिदिन ध्यावत हरि ब्रह्मा शिव री ॥टेक॥
मांग सिंदूर बिराजत टीको मृगमद को ।
उज्ज्वल से दोउ नैना चंद्रबदन नीको ॥जय॥
कनक समान कलेवर रक्ताम्बर राजै।
रक्तपुष्प गल माला कंठन पर साजै ॥जय॥
केहरि वाहन राजत खड्ग खप्परधारी
सुर-नर मुनिजन सेवत तिनके दुःखहारी ॥जय॥
कानन कुण्डल शोभित नासाग्रे मोती ।
कोटिक चंद्र दिवाकर राजत समज्योति ॥जय॥
शुम्भ निशुम्भ बिडारे महिषासुर घाती ।
धूम्र विलोचन नैना निशिदिन मदमाती ॥जय॥
चौंसठ योगिनि मंगल गावैं नृत्य करत भैरू।
बाजत ताल मृदंगा अरू बाजत डमरू ॥जय॥
भुजा चार अति शोभित खड्ग खप्परधारी।
मनवांछित फल पावत सेवत नर नारी ॥जय॥
कंचन थाल विराजत अगर कपूर बाती ।
श्री मालकेतु में राजत कोटि रतन ज्योति ॥जय॥
श्री अम्बेजी की आरती जो कोई नर गावै ।
कहत शिवानंद स्वामी सुख-सम्पत्ति पावै ॥जय॥
Glory to You, O Divine Mother Ambe Gauri, the auspicious and benevolent Goddess! O Holy Mother, embodiment of all auspiciousness, we bow to You again and again. Lord Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva constantly meditate upon You, O Mother of the Universe, the source of all creation and power.
Your forehead shines with the mark of vermilion, and on it rests a tilak of musk. Your bright and charming eyes are radiant like the moon, and Your beautiful face glows with divine splendor.
Your form shines like pure gold, and You are adorned with red garments. Around Your neck is a garland of red flowers, symbolizing strength and devotion. Every ornament upon You glitters with sacred brilliance.
You ride upon the mighty lion, holding a sword and a skull in Your hands, symbolizing Your power to destroy evil and ignorance. Gods, sages, and all beings serve You with devotion, for You are the remover of all suffering and fear.
Your earrings sparkle beautifully, and a pearl adorns Your nose. Your face glows brighter than countless moons and suns together, radiating divine light throughout the universe.
You are the slayer of the demons Shumbha and Nishumbha, and the vanquisher of the buffalo demon Mahishasura. Your eyes are blazing with righteous fury as You destroy all wicked forces and protect the virtuous.
The sixty-four Yoginis sing praises of You, while Lord Bhairava dances in divine ecstasy before You. The rhythm of drums, cymbals, and mridangas fill the heavens as the entire cosmos celebrates Your glory.
Your four arms shine resplendently, holding divine weapons and symbols of power. Men and women who worship You with true devotion receive the fulfillment of all their heart’s desires and attain divine peace and prosperity.
Before You stands a golden tray adorned with incense, camphor, and wicks soaked in ghee, glowing like countless jewels. The entire universe is illuminated by Your divine brilliance.
Whoever sings this Aarti of Shri Ambe Ji with faith and devotion, says Swami Shivananda, attains happiness, success, and the blessings of prosperity by the grace of the Divine Mother.
