Aarti also spelled arti, arati, arathi, aarthi is a Hindu religious ritual of worship, a part of puja, in which light from wicks soaked in ghee (purified butter) or camphor is offered to one or more deities.
Aarti is performed by singing a special prayer and is call from the devotee’s heart to reach God and to obtain total refuge in him. The prayer involves praising God, his greatness and gentleness and brightness, purity and devotion and a signal to awake the inner self. Moving the lights in a circular clockwise motion performs the aarti. The circular motion represents the entire universe.
Also due to the embodied soul of the deities, they are emanating an energy that is captured by the lights and then shared amongst the devotee’s by taking the warmth of flames of the light after the aarti. Money is placed in the ritual to show value.
Prasada: This is the distribution of the offering (fruits, water sweets, savouries etc) made to the Gods.
Offering Flowers is an important part of Hindu Worship as different Gods & Goddesses are known to love certain flowers. Some consider offering of flowers to be a prayer that the deity grant us good health, wealth & prosperity. It is natural tendency to keep the atmosphere of the place of worship welcoming.
Offering of Flower: This signifies a surrender of desires. This action is very specific and is done in a particular way. Firstly the five fingers of right hand are used to pick up the flowers gently. The fingers are then turned upwards with the flowers, which are then softly offered to the Lord’s feet. The five fingers not only represent the individual’s character but also the five senses., which you pick the flower up, the fingers are turned downwards which represent the sense indulging in materialism. If however, the senses are directed to the higher self, indicated by the fingers turning upwards, then this is a surrender of the individual’s material attachment. The beauty and fragrance desires and material attachment
