About Aarti: Om Jai Jagdish Hare

The aarti that closes almost every puja in North India. The devotee calls the Lord of the world (Jagdish) mother and father, the inner witness and an ocean of compassion, asks for refuge, prays to be freed from craving and sin, and ends by offering body, mind and wealth back to him.

Text: Pt. Shardha Ram Phillauri (traditional attribution) (19th century (d. 1881))

Meanings and summaries are editorial, written for this library from the cited edition.
