Vedic Aarati

Om Raajadhiraajaaya Prasahyasaahine Namo Vayum Vai
Sravnaaya Kurmahe
Sa Me Kaamaan Kaamakaamaaya Mahyam,
Kaameswarovai Sravaano Dadhaatu,
Kuberaaya Vai Sravanaaya Mahaaraajaaya Namah

Om, We prostrate to the Lord in the form of Sun, who is invincible and capable of quelling any thrust or attack and who is the king of kings We salute the Lord of Kubera, the lord of wealth and riches, may he fulfill all our cherished desires.

Om Na Karmana Na Prajaya Dhanena Tyagenaike
Amrtatvamaanashuh
Parena Naakam Nihitam Guhaayaam
Vaibhraajate Yadyatayo Vishanti

 Not by selfish work or rituals, not by progeny, not by wealth, they have attained immortality. Some have attained immortality by renunciation – that which the yogis attain is greater than heaven; that which shines in the pure heart.

Vedaanta Vigyanasunishcitaartah Sanyaasa
Yogaadyatayah Shuddhasatvah
Te Brahmlike Tu Parantakaale
Paraamrtaat Parimuchyanti Sarve

Having attained the immortality, and oneness with the Supreme; those aspirants who strive for self control, the Vedantins who follow the path of self- knowledge, having gained the purity of mind through practice of Yoga, self discipline, practicing the steadfastness on the path of knowledge of the Self (Brahman) and renunciation, they get released from transmigration and reach Brahman when their ego gets transcended.

Dahram Vipaapam Parameshmabhutam Yat Pundarikam
Puramdhyasamstham
Tattraapi Dahram Gaganam Vishokastasmin
Yadantastadupaasitavyam

In the citadel of the body is a small sinless and pure lotus in the heart in which resides the Supreme. Further in the interior of this small area, there is a space of no sorrow. That is to be meditated upon continuously.

Yo Vedddau Svarah Prokto Vedaante Ca Pratishthitah
Tasya Prakritilinasya Yah Parah Sa Maheshwarah

He is the Supreme Lord, the transcendental, the syllable Om, which is pronounced at the commencement of the of the Vedic texts, which is the essence of the Upanishads and which is the subject of contemplation on the Highest.

Na tatra Suryo Bhaati, Na Chandra- Taarakam
Na-Ima Vidyuto Bhaanti, Kuto Yam Agnih
Tam-Eva Bhaantam Anubhaati Sarvam
Tasya Bhaasaa Sarvam Idam Vibhaati

 The Sun does not shine there, neither does the moon, nor the stars; nor the lightning, nor the fire. Verily everything shines after Him who itself is self-effulgent. The whole world is illumined with His light alone.

Om Naaraayanaaya Vidhmahe Vaasudevaaya Dhimahi
Tanno Vishnu Pracodayaat

May we know Narayana, may we meditate upon Vasudeva. May Vishnu impel us towards the Supreme.

Om Mahaadevyai Ca Vidmahe Vishupatni Ca Dhimahi
Tanno Lakshmi Pracodayaat

May we know the Supreme Goddess, for that may we meditate upon the consort of Lord Vishnu. May Mahalakshmi impel us towards the Supreme.
