Aarti ritual being conducted at the temple in Vadtal by an ascetic

Jay Sadguru Swami or the Swaminarayan Arti is the arti sung in all Swaminarayan mandirs. Arti is conducted by the singing of a special prayer and the playing of musical instruments. The piece was composed by Muktanand Swami on 5 November 1802.^[1]^[2] During arti a lighted ghee lamp with wicks is waved before murtis, representations of Swaminarayan and other deities.^[3] Swaminarayan is believed to be physically manifest in the murti, and several arti ceremonies are performed throughout the day, allowing devotees to show their devotion. As the murti is not permanently on view for devotees, the arti is an important opportunity to gain blessings through darshan of a physical manifestation of Swaminarayan. In shikharbaddha mandirs, aarti is performed five times a day according to Vaishnava tradition, while In dev mandirs or Hari mandirs, arti is performed in the morning and evening only.^[4] The arti sung in BAPS Swaminarayan mandirs differs from the verses sung in mandirs from the Original Sampraday by two words and is claimed to be based on an original manuscript of the composition by Muktanand Swami. ^[5]

Lyrics

જય સદ્ગુરુ સ્વામી પ્રભુ જય સદ્ગુરુ સ્વામી.
સહજાનંદ દયાળુ (x૨), બળવંત બહુનામી... જય સદ્ગુરુ સ્વામી. ૧.
jay sadguru swāmī, prabhu jay sadguru swāmī
sahajānand dayāḷū (x2), baḷavant bahunāmī... jay sadguru swāmī. 1.

ચરણસરોજ તમારા, વંદુ કરજોડી, પ્રભુ વંદુ કરજોડી.
ચરણે શીશ ધર્યાથી (x૨), દુ:ખ નાખ્યા તોડી... જય સદ્ગુરુ સ્વામી. ૨.
charaṇasaroj tamārā vandu karjoḍī, prabhu vandu karjoḍī.
charaṇe shīsh dhāryathī (x2), dukh nākhya toḍī... jay sadguru swāmī. 2.

નારાયણ નરભ્રાતા, દ્વિજકુળ તનુ ધારી, પ્રભુ દ્વિજકુળ તનુ ધારી.
પામર પતિત ઉદ્ધાર્યા (x૨), અગણિત નરનારી... જય સદ્ગુરુ સ્વામી. ૩.
nārāyaṇ narbhātā dvijkul tanu dhārī, prabhu dvijkul tanu dhārī.
pārmar patit uddhāryā (x2), agaṇit narnārī... jay sadguru swāmī. 3.

નિત્ય નિત્ય નૌતમ લીલા, કરતા અવિનાશી, પ્રભુ કરતા અવિનાશી.
અડસઠ તીરથ ચરણે (x૨). કોટિ ગયા કાશી... જય સદ્ગુરુ સ્વામી. ૪.
nity nity nautam līlā, kartā avināshī, prabhu kartā avināshī.
aḍsaṭh tīrth charaṇe (x2), koṭi gayā kāshī... jay sadguru swāmī. 4.

પુરુષોત્તમ પ્રગટનું, જે દર્શન કરશે, પ્રભુ જે દર્શન કરશે.
કાળ કરમથી છૂટી (x૨), કુટુંબ સહિત તરશે... જય સદ્ગુરુ સ્વામી. ૫.
puruṣottam pragaṭnu, je darshan karshe, prabhu jay darshan karshe.
kāḷ karmthī chhūṭī (x2), kuṭumb sahit tarashe... jay sadguru swāmī. 5.

આ અવસર કરુણાનિધિ, કરુણા બહુ કીધી, વાળે કરુણા બહુ કીધી.
મુક્તાનંદ કહે મુક્તિ (x૨), સુગમ કરી સિધી... જય સદ્ગુરુ સ્વામી. ૬.
ā avsar karuṇānidhi, karuṇā bahu kīdhī, vaḷe karuṇā bahu kīdhī.
muktānand kahe mukti (x2), sugam karī sidhī... jay sadguru swāmī. 6.

જય સદ્ગુરુ સ્વામી પ્રભુ જય સદ્ગુરુ સ્વામી.
સહજાનંદ દયાળુ (x૨), બળવંત બહુનામી... જય સદ્ગુરુ સ્વામી. ૭.
jay sadguru swāmī, prabhu jay sadguru swāmī
sahajānand dayāḷū (x2), baḷavant bahunāmī... jay sadguru swāmī. 7.

Translation in English

All glories, All glories to my eternal master! Swami Sahajanand is very merciful, powerful, and has a lot of names .. 1

With folded hands I pay my obeisances to the Lotus Feet of Shree Sahajanand Swami. One’s all miseries are gone by simply surrendering to His Lotus Feet .. 2

The Divine brothers Nara-Narayan Dev has taken birth in the Brahmin family as human beings. He is the liberator of helpless and fallen souls, uncountable men and women .. 3

Lord Swaminarayan, who is Avinashi, eternal, is daily performing new and pleasing pastimes. On His Lotus Feet reside all the pilgrimages, and they are more auspicious then millions of Gaya and Kashi tirthas combined together .. 4

Whoever will have a glimpse of this Supreme Lord who is present amongst us today, will conquer over time and karma, and will cross over this ocean of misery along with his whole family .. 5

Lord Swaminarayan, who is the Ocean of Mercy, has bestowed a lot of mercy this time. And due to that I, Muktanand Swami, declare that attaining liberation has become very easy .. 6
