I am grateful for this beautiful
arati with Bade Baba in the Temple at Shree Muktananda Ashram. When I sing it, I feel deep stillness and peace. I experience Bade Baba’s
darshan and presence. This is such a gift.

As I listened to the
Nityananda Arati and watched the video, I noticed the flames on the
arati lamp and the candle in front of the Bade Baba
murti gently flicker. It made me feel as if I were in the Temple in the flesh. I had been yearning to be in the Temple once again, and my yearning was answered! I felt blessed.

When I began singing this exquisite arati, I felt a tightness or knot in my heart. As I continued to sing, I kept my awareness in the heart. All of a sudden I felt this release and the word love appeared in my awareness. By the end of the arati, my heart was relaxed and open, and I had a feeling of lightness throughout my being. What an awesome gift!

I delight in singing the
Nityananda Arati. I love the sweetness of its syllables and the joyfulness of its rhythmic patterns. I first chanted it in Gurudev Siddha Peeth, standing before the
murti of Bhagavan Nityananda, and it has held a special place in my heart ever since.
Each morning this August, after decorating Bhagavan Nityananda's picture with jasmine from my garden, I stand before him and sing this
arati, sometimes with tears of emotion welling up from inside.
