Om Jai Gange Mata Aarti - Lyrics & Meaning

Om Jai Gange Mata, Maiya Jai Gange Mata । Jo Nar Tumko Dhyata, Manvanchhit Phal Pata ॥ Om Jai Gange Mata ॥ Chandra Si Jyoti Tumhari, Jal Nirmal Aata । Sharan Pade Jo Teri, So Tar Jata ॥ Om Jai Gange Mata ॥ Putra Sagar Ke Tare, Sab Jag Ko Gyata । Bhagirath Ko Punya Diyo, Mukti Ke Data ॥ Om Jai Gange Mata ॥ Shiv Ki Jata Mein Basee, Jagat Mein Vikhyata । Amrit Ras Pavat Nit, Jo Pujan Kar Aata ॥ Om Jai Gange Mata ॥ Durjan Dosh Mitavat, Karuna Ras Barsata । Kripa Karo Jag Janani, Tribhuvan Sukhdata ॥ Om Jai Gange Mata ॥ Bhuvan Char-Dham Virajat, Haridwar Sohe । Kashi Aur Prayag Mein, Bhakt Janan Mohe ॥ Om Jai Gange Mata ॥ Aarti Jo Nar Gave, Man Nischal Rakhi । Param Pad Pavat Wah, Ved Puran Sakhi ॥ Om Jai Gange Mata ॥ Om Jai Gange Mata, Maiya Jai Gange Mata । Jo Nar Tumko Dhyata, Manvanchhit Phal Pata ॥

River Ganga has served as the lifeblood of Indian spiritual thought for millennia. This hymn honors her role in the historic narrative of King Bhagiratha while celebrating the cleansing, life-giving properties of fresh running waters.

Prepare a small lamp using pure ghee or camphor alongside fresh flowers. Face the flowing water or your consecrated water pot. Circle the lamp five times in clockwise movement with gentle clapping, and gently bow in gratitude.
