आरात्रिकम् ॥ ārātrikam ॥🔗

The next is ārātrikam – the offering of Aarati to the Sri Guru. The meaning of the Mantra is.

We salute to the Kubera who blesses us with wealth, who is the supreme of the kings, the one who possesses great patience. Let Lord Kameshwara – the Lord of desire energy fulfill our desires. I offer my pranams that is worship and salutations to the one who is as pure as camphor, the one who has incarnated because of intense compassion, the one who is the very essence of life, the one who has the king of serpents as his ornament, the one who lives eternally in the lotus of the heart and the one who has both the Shiva energy that is the cosmic masculine energy and the Devi energy that is the cosmic feminine energy at its peak! I offer my pranams to you!

Kriya: Now please take the lit camphor in your hands and slowly wave towards Swamiji along with the mantra. Please ring the bell as you do so.
