- Step into the sacred realm of devotion as we guide you through the art of performing arati at home for Lord Krishna. Arati is a cherished ritual that allows us to connect with the divine on a profound level. In this tutorial, I'll be your companion, sharing not just the techniques but the spiritual significance and love that make this ritual truly special.
🕉️ What This Video Offers:
A step-by-step demonstration of the arati ritual
Insights into the significance of each arati item
Personal anecdotes and stories that deepen your connection
Important note: After I made and uploaded this video, one senior devotee corrected me saying that while inviting the Holy rivers into the patra I need to use my middle finger instead of the finger I used in the video. So please, keep that mind. Please use your middle finger.
Performing arati is more than a ritual; it's a heartfelt conversation with the divine. Whether you're new to this practice or a seasoned devotee, you'll find inspiration and guidance here.
🕯️ Mantras Used in This Tutorial:
Mula Mantras For each Deity there is a mula-mantra, or a root mantra. This mula-mantra will be used often throughout the day in the performance of various services to the Lord.
The mula-mantras are as follows:·
The mula-mantra fo r Krsna is: klim Krsnaya namaha

Water in a conchshell: idam arghyam and the mula-mantra

when inviting holy rivers into the patra u should ankusa mudra, same like what u did but the middle finger should be used instead of ring finger. & little finger should go down.
I see. Thank you Prabhu. Actually, that part I recorded twice, one with middle finger. But later was confused what finger we need to use. I will take a note of it. If possible please give hint where I can read about it fully.
@@MohiniMadhavi Buy the Krishna Balarama Mandir Deity worship Book from krishnastore. Everything is given there about Deity worship.

So nice of you
The altar is so beautiful, you've done a fantastic job making such a pleasant home for your deities! :D
Also I usually wear a lehenga but I have just gotten my first saree...may you please make a video on saree draping perhaps?? I am very bad at it apparently haha.. yours always is perfectly pleated :O
:D So happy you got your first saree dear Sarah. It is ok to do arati at home in lehenga also. Regarding saree draping video, I feel shy to make such a video, but there are already so many videos out there. You can search for south Indian style of wearing saree.
start watching at 1.15 . hope this help didji
Your Mantap is so beautifully, creatively set up .I really loved your devotion in setting the altar like vrindavan. Dandavat pranams

Haribol!
Hare Krishna mataji 🙏 could you please type all the moola mantras in the description or in the reply section.thank you hare Krishna 🙏🏼
Very very clean altar mataji
, in India my city Agartala (located on north east India)mostly people doesn't clean altar properly and the deties are also some times keep dirty full of dust, dressing also doesn't look nice ,hardly in once in the year little bit amount of prasadam is offered ,and the deties are also of demigods like Lakshmi,Durga, Ganesha or sometimes their is a dirty photo of lord Krishna,never read any scripture like bagvat Gita,the japa is also of Durga or Kali 's or other demigods mostly,. means the worship is totally useles
but every Vaishnava or ISKON devotee 's home altar is always clean and very beautiful,the deties are always shining, cleaning the altar regularly, offering prasadam. Always devotee read the holy scriptures like bagvat Gita or bagvatam also do many services
THIS IS THE REAL WORSHIP
Pankaj Prabhuji, thank you for noticing good thing in Vaishnavas! It is because of Srila Prabhupada's sacrifice now we have good sadhana, lots of books like Bhagavatam, beautiful temples and his instructions and his close followers like our present sannyasis.
If leaders of the society cheat the their subjects then things go wrong. People stop trusting spiritual leaders. That way chaos in the society begins.
But Srila Prabhupada was not a cheater. He didn't claim himself God but a servant of God. So we need leaders like Prabhupada to make people become better devotees. And be cautious of cheating sadhus who mislead simple hearted people.
You are process oriented... जय जगधीश द्वारिकाधीश !
Hare Krishna 🕉️🕉️🙏 🙏

Thanks for reply
Hare Krishna mataji.. I need aarti paraphernalia.. Where can I get it
did you check krishna.com?
@@MohiniMadhavi I will check mataji.. Hare Krishna
Hare Krishna mataji, are your deities radha and krishna or they are gaura-nitai?
Gaura Nitai
Hare krishna mataji. I require some guidance about home puja. I am doing but like an amateur. I am trying to see your videos and follow. My first query is mataji where did you get such a puja thali. Is it online i live in India. PAMHO mataji🙏
Hare Krishna Mataji, Thank you for sharing this valuable video. I saw a yantra under the temple can you please tell us the significance of it? Do we need to put it under the temple?
No, if you have enough space you can put in other place. Because we live in a very small space I don't have place in the NE side of the home so had to put them under the temple. And altar on the kitchen table...:D
hare krishna mataji what is the mule mantra for the vaishnavas? OM sarvan Vaishnavas namaha? i could
not hear it very well:)
As I remember "Om sarvam Vaishnavebyo namaha"

I live in a cold area. My Tulsi (holy basil) plant is drooping and the leaves are withered but still green. They are fairly young plants. One has already died and I hope to save the rest. I have tried so many things. What could be the reason?

Hare krishna mataji.. It would be great if tell me the mantras you chanted..
Thank you
Hari Hari Preeti
Even we common Indian people most of us don't know how to do it, here a foreigner is teaching us 😂
Thank you
Do we need to change handkerchief daily?
yes yes we wash it daily.
😊🙏🙏🙏👌
mataji from where did u but the altar?
Harihariharibol newsubscriber lets c what u got best south africa
jai! All glories to devotees of South Africa!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹
Hare krishna, I bathe my dieties everyday, do I still need to offer them water and a cloth during arati?
Depends on your ability. If you can continue it for life then yes you can do that. If it is going to be difficult then better not to vow. Or try doing without giving a word. Usually in Temple we do full Arati. Even after doing Abhishek we offer full arati. But there is no limit on how much you can offer to the Lord. You can offer 16 items, or 64 or 108 etc. So do something in your capacity. Doing daily abhishek is already a great service.
Where you learn all this ?
I was a pujari at the temple, Devotees taught me.
Mata ji your altar is very beautiful
Thank you!
Hare Krishna
Hari Hari!
Wonderful ...i just felt so pure and clam watching arti being done to Lord...
Danvats mataji...🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️🤗🤗🤗
Thank you dear Priya!
The alter is very nice! Very simple process, yet powerful 😊
Thank you 🙏😇
Thank you Ramakrishna!
Yes wonderful!!!! Thank you so much for posting this! Your instructions are clear and simple. Very helpful
:D Thank you dear Sarah!
It's shame for me as a Indian to watch foreigners telling how to do aarti at home😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
No shame about it. Everyone is soul, part and parcel of Krishna, body is just outward dress, it doesn't matter. Real divine knowledge can be learned from anyone. Even Lord Hanuman is a monkey, Sri Sukadev goswami is a parrot, Maharaja Bali is an asura(demon by body)... So what does it matter, only devotion and love towards Lord matters.
It is not shame ful new begginers can learn from anyone
How could I miss this beautiful video 🙁
Love your alter💕❤️❤️💕
Thank you so much for this informative video🙏🏻😊
Thank you Ritu! And how could I miss to love your comment?!
Hare Krishna
Many thanks
Харе Кришна! вы говорили "если вайшнавы в комнате, то мы предлагаем тоже им". интересно то, что одна пуджари в храме мне сказала, что даже если никого нету нужно предлагать потому что на арати могут присутствовать полубоги и другие существа, которых мы не видим:)
Wonderful video Mataji.Brings so much peace and purity in my heart.
Hare Krishna 🙏
Thank you dear Padma ji
Dear Mataji! You‘ve got the most beautiful altar I‘ve ever seen! 😍 is it self-made?
Thank you dear Linda Mataji, I just painted it and decorated the inner part. Otherwise it was already a hand carved altar.
Do you want to learn how to make it
I can teach you
Excellent you done arati. Wonderful very spiritually. Very nice. Stay blessed
Thanks a lot

Jai!
Where have you bought this amazing altar? OMK so beautiful. Thanks for the clip. Was just investigating about the mantras again. My I humbly point out something? I learnt that in the short acamana we take new water for each mantra... so om keshavaya namah ... om narayanaya namah ... om madhavaya namah. And in India in-between hand cleaned with acamana water.
Yes, new drops of water each time from the acamana vessel. Thank you for your comment dear Monique! One devotee family gave us this Altar. It was silver in color, but later I painted it with pearl color and carved parts with different colors. I have a video on that.
@@MohiniMadhavi very beautiful altar and very helpful videos... keep on with this valuable seva mataji
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow thank you so much for such detailed Aarti tutorial mam. Was waiting for this 🌸
:D Thank you dear Rindha!
Hare Krishna 🙏
Haribol!
Most beautiful thought shri guru is doing all service .we r just assisting .👃👃👃👃🌹🌹
You are right
Om namo narayan.
Hi mam nice mandir ❤️ and do you worship the lord Ganesha in your Aarti ceremony? He is a requirement to be worshipped before any god I don’t even hear you say “Om gam Ganapatiyai Namaha” you seem to put more emphasis on gurus than the other important gods not that it is wrong but I’m just curious because iskon followers tend to do this it is important to worship ganapanti aka vinayak aka pollayar because of his story with his parents and he is the remover of obstacles for the Pooja or in your case “Aarti Ceramony”another thing is I don’t hear you talking about the other Hindu holy books like the Puranas and you don’t talk about other important Hindu gods like Lakshmi mata Saraswati or even lord Venkateswara no offense i only see “lord Chaitanya” in iskon followers and not other Hindu followers hmmmm I wonder? and I have seen many Pooja room videos and not one had “lord Chaitanya” and I’m only giving constructive criticism I don’t even see you doing Lakshmi Pooja on Deepavali, Ganesh Chaturthi, mahashivatri, NAVRATRI A VERY IMPORTANT HINDU HOLIDAY anyways I’m not trying to judge but just expressing my options
Thank you for your concern Xin. There are 33 mln Demigods. And unlimited number of expansions of Krsna. So within one life time we won't be able to worship them all and please them all. People used to do posh Deity worship in Dwapara yuga offering tons of gold, jewelries, fruits, vegetables and gallons of gallons of real cow ghee. If we want to satisfy Demigods we need to do that kind of worship and with zero mistakes. That is why every householder used to do pancha maha yagya daily. And pancha maha yagya is not easy. Person should wake up in Brahma Muhurt, clean himself, take bath in a particular way etc. Invite guests home daily, take care of brahmacharis and sannyasis, fast of particular days, no meat no drinks etc. so many rules. Which we can't do in Kali yuga. That is we follow Bhagavad Gita - sarva dharman parityaja. And worship only Krsna. Krsna is the root everything. When He is satisfied everyone will be pleased. Like Krsna ate a grain of rice and made all Durvasa Muni's students full. Lord Chaitanya is Krsna Himself. But more merciful form of Krsna. So we mostly take shelter of Lord Chaitanya.
Vedic Girl ohhhh ok 👍 now you don’t need to prepare a tons of items and tons of preparation for Demi god worship its more like what you have and know cuz your Bhakti is more important god would prefer that you do a simple pooja than one with elaborate steps and it’s not even from the heart well at the end of the day Hinduism has many sects Shaivisim, vaishnava, Shaktism and many more and it is more like following your own path to god cuz Bhakti is more important some may want to worship Mahadeva, Vishnu or both (like me) cuz I love them both the good part of Hinduism’s that it’s not a abrihamic religion where one side is right and the other is wrong it is more like following your gut for me my puja steps are more like clear mind, worship Ganesh, guru, then the gods I have more steps but mines it more old fashioned way of worship I guess for me I don’t worship all the gods just the mostly Ganapati first and the ones I have to worship are Saraswati Laxmi and yes I worship Krishna as well and Shiv and we don’t have to worship all of the gods just the ones you are drawn to cuz Hinduism is an open minded faith ❤️ and again there is no certain way of doing pooja(worship) as long as we do it from the heart cuz that is what matters
