Listening to and reciting Karpura Arati sweetens my heart and refreshes my love of Sanskrit, as well as other languages that I love. Today, I wrote the words of this hymn out in Devanagari script and sang from that. Then I wrote out the translation in Italian and then French. I experienced each version as a different shade of tenderness.

My heart sweetens and lightens whenever I hear the Karpura Arati, and I am so grateful to be able to access it on the Siddha Yoga path website whenever I desire. Recently, I was offered the opportunity to study Sanskrit informally with a small group of “sangha sisters,” and so have made a commitment to follow through with a long-standing desire to study Sanskrit and to learn the beautiful Devanagari alphabet.
Today, just after Hanuman Jayanti and on the eve of the Siddha Yoga Satsang in Honor of Easter, I choose to satisfy both my desire to memorize the Karpura Arati in order to keep it always in my heart and my desire to learn Sanskrit by copying the Devanagari script given here. May the grace of Gurumayi and Hanuman allow me to fulfill these two desires.

The Karpura Arati always soothes me and makes me forget everything else. We sang this arati on Gurumayi’s birthday in Gurudev Siddha Peeth. I was so immersed in the arati that I wanted to keep repeating it. It is truly very beautiful.
