Jai Vaishno Maa...
The 'Aarti' of the Goddess is performed twice a day first time in the morning just before the sunrise and second time in the evening immediately after the sunset.
The procedure of 'Aarti' is a very sacred and lengthy one. The Pujaris perform 'Aarti' before the holy deity first inside the sanctum- sanctorum and than outside the cave. Before the commencement of 'Aarti', the Pujaris perform 'Aatam pujan' i,e self-purification. Then the Goddess is bathed in water, milk, ghee (Clarified butter), honey and sugar. Thereafter the goddess is dressed-up in a saree, chola and chuni and ornaments are endowed upon her. The whole process takes place amidst the enchantment of various shlokas and Mantras. Thereafter Tilak is placed on the forehead of the deity and Navied (prashad) is offered to her. The Pujaris perform puja of various Gods and Goddesses, as it is a believed that during the Aarti time, all the Gods and Goddesses are present inside the sanctum Sanctorum. The Jyoti (divine lamp) is lightened and then the 'Aarti' of the goddess is performed. After the whole procedure, the thaal which contains the lamp and various other items used in the 'Aarti', is brought outside the mouth of the holy cave, where 'Aarti' of the goddess is performed in the presence of yatris. The yatris who remain seated outside the holy cave during the time when the Aarti is performed inside the Sanctum Sanctorum, keep listening to the Pravachans of head Pandit. After the Aarti outside the holy cave is over, the pujari distributes Prasadam and the charanamrit ( the holy water) to the devotees.
आरती श्री वैष्णो देवी
जय वैष्णवी माता, मैया जय वैष्णवी माता।
हाथ जोड़ तेरे आगे, आरती मैं गाता॥
शीश पे छत्र विराजे, मूरतिया प्यारी।
गंगा बहती चरनन, ज्योति जगे न्यारी॥
ब्रह्मा वेद पढ़े नित द्वारे, शंकर ध्यान धरे।
सेवक चंवर डुलावत, नारद नृत्य करे॥
सुंदर गुफा तुम्हारी, मन को अति भावे।
बार-बार देखन को, ऐ माँ मन चावे॥
भवन पे झण्डे झूलें, घंटा ध्वनि बाजे।
ऊँचा पर्वत तेरा, माता प्रिय लागे॥
पान सुपारी ध्वजा नारियल, भेंट पुष्प मेवा।
दास खड़े चरणों में, दर्शन दो देवा॥
जो जन निश्चय करके, द्वार तेरे आवे।
उसकी इच्छा पूरण, माता हो जावे॥
इतनी स्तुति निश-दिन, जो नर भी गावे।
कहते सेवक ध्यानू, सुख सम्पत्ति पावे॥
Jai Vashnavi Mata, Maiya Jai Vashnavi Mata.
Hath Jood Tere Aage, Aarti Mai Gatta. Sheesh Par Chatra Birajay, Murtiyan Pyaari. Ganga Bhati Charnan, Jyoti Jage Nyaari.
BrahamVed Pade Nit Dware, Shankar Dhyana Dhare.
Sevat Chanvar Dulavat, Narad Nritya Kare.
Sundar Gufa Tumhari, Mann ko Ati Bhave.
Baar-Baar Dekhne ko, Ae Ma Mann Chave.
Bhawan Pe Jhande Jhulay, Ghanta Dhwani Baajay.
Uncha Parvat Tera, Mata Priya Laagay.
Paan Supari Dhwaja nariyal, Bhent Pushp Mewa.
Dass Khadde Charnon mai, Darshan Do Deva.
Jo Jan Nischay karke, Dwar Tere Aavay
Etni Stuti Nishidin, Jo Nar bhi Gavay.
