Ganga Aarti - 3
|
According to Hindu Shastras river Ganga is worshipped as a Goddess, who originated from Himalayas and then took shelter in the locks of Lord Shiva's long flowing hair. King Bhagiratha rescued Ganga and brought her to the earth. The Ganga aarti is still performed in the places like Hardwar, Rishikesh, Varanasi etc, where innumerable lighted `Diya` or lamps are floated on the waves of river Ganga. This short home movie captured on the Android cell HTC Desire, Ganga Aarti (in three parts), documents the proceedings that thousands of Hindus and others interested in the religion flock to from all over the world everyday of each year.Ganga Aarti at Dasaswamedh ghat, close to Kashi Vishwanath Temple, is one of the prime attractions of Varanasi. It starts just after sunset, with a bunch of young men choreographing to the chantings, holding the lamps.As the aarti begins, men take their positions at the platform and begin swinging the lamp to the tune of chantings.The Ganga aarti is sung as follows-Arti ganga maiya, man jai sursari maiyaBhav-varidhi-uddharini atihi sudradh naiya, man Jai....Hari pada-padam-prasuta vimal varidhara,Brahmadeva Bhagirathi shuchi punyagara, man JaiShankar-jata-viharini, hanoi trya tapa,Sagar-putra-gana-tarini harani sakal papai man Jai...Ganga Ganga jo jana uchcharat mukha son,Dur desh man sthit bhi turat tarat sukh son, man Jai...Mrit ki asthi tanik tuv jal dhara pavai,So jan pavan hokar param dham javai, man JaiTav tatvasi taruvar, jal thal char praniPakshi-pashu-patang gati pavai nirvani, man JaiMatu, daya mai kijai dinan par dayaPrabhu pad padma milakar Hari lijai maya, man Jai The prayer is offered to the Goddess Ganga, the divine mother with the wave of festal lamp before her. The Ganga delivers us from the cycle of transmigration and the ocean of this world as if she is the steady boat.Ganga is born out of lotus feet of Vishnu and is famous as a stream of unpolluted water. She is sacred and repository of all virtues,and its streaming, flowing form and was brought to earth by Bhagiratha.Lord Shiva`s locks are the favorite roaming place for Ganga. She is the destroyer of all three kinds of afflictions- physical, mental and providential. She is who delivers the sons of Sagara and amends all sins.The person who chants her name even from a long distance is instantaneously rewarded with great comfort and pleasure and attains rescue as well. Just a few drops of Ganga`s holy stream sanctify the bones of dead, Who go straight to heaven after touching them.The countless creature that lives in water or on land, the innumerable birds, cattle, insects as well as the trees growing on the bank of river Ganga are all entitled to salvation by their association with Ganga.
