Sacred textOriginal Hindi

जय लक्ष्मीरमणा श्री जय लक्ष्मीरमणा।सत्यनारायण स्वामी जनपातक हरणा ॥

रत्नजड़ित सिंहासन अद्भुत छवि राजे।नारद करत निराजन घंटा ध्वनि बाजे ॥

प्रगट भये कलि कारण द्विज को दर्श दियो।बूढ़ो ब्राह्मण बनकर कंचन महल कियो ॥

दुर्बल भील कठारो इन पर कृपा करी।चन्द्रचूड़ एक राजा जिनकी विपति हरी ॥

वैश्य मनोरथ पायो श्रद्धा तज दीनी।सो फल भोग्यो प्रभुजी फिर स्तुति कीनी ॥

भाव भक्ति के कारण छिन-छिन रूप धर्यो।श्रद्धा धारण कीनी तिनको काज सर्यो ॥

ग्वाल बाल संग राजा वन में भक्ति करी।मनवांछित फल दीनो दीनदयाल हरी ॥

चढ़त प्रसाद सवाया कदली फल मेवा।धूप दीप तुलसी से राजी सत्यदेवा ॥

श्री सत्यनारायणजी की आरती जो कोई नर गावे।कहत शिवानन्द स्वामी मनवांछित फल पावे ॥

Meaning & context

What does Satyanarayana Aarti mean?

Unlike most aartis, this one is a summary of a story. The Satyanarayana Katha is read aloud during the puja — the poor brahmin, the woodcutter, King Chandrachud, the merchant Sadhu who forgot his vow, the cowherd boys — and the aarti then runs back through those episodes in order, so that the singing is a recollection of what has just been heard. That is why it belongs at the close of the ritual rather than anywhere in it, and why its verses can feel abrupt if read without the katha behind them.
