The spiritual power of aarti and the blessings of Goddess Gauri in marital life

This day is celebrated as a living reminder of devotion, strength and the quiet determination that defines the essence of feminine energy in the Indian tradition. The Vat Savitri Vrat is not only a ritual. It is a remembrance of the vow of Savitri who faced the force of mortality with devotion and brought her husband back through her inner strength. Each year this vrat inspires the understanding that faith can awaken a deep and luminous power in the human heart.
The auspicious sequence of the vrat carries a traditional significance. The flow of the observance, the time of worship and the sacred chants together create a devotional atmosphere that guides the mind of the devotee into a state of calm and focus.
On 26 May 2025 women across the country are observing this vrat with deep reverence. They begin the morning with a sacred bath and wear clean clothes. They worship the banyan tree along with the divine form of Goddess Gauri. This day is believed to grant blessings for the long life of the husband and harmony within the household.
The banyan tree represents a sense of stability through its roots, strength through its trunk and continuity through its branches. Scriptures describe that Goddess Savitri resides in the banyan tree. Women take circumambulation around it with the wish that their married life receives stability and divine protection.

Reciting the stuti is considered the heart of the ritual because it prepares the mind for worship. When a devotee sings this stuti with sincerity it calms the mind and strengthens the intention of the vrat. Devotion to Goddess Gauri is believed to fulfill heartfelt desires.
Jaya jaya giriraja kisori
Jaya mahesa mukha canda cakori
Jaya gajabadana sadanana mata
Jagat janani damini duti gata
Devi puji pada kamala tumhare
Sura nara muni saba hohi sukhare
Mora manoratha janahu nike
Basahu sada ura pura sabahi ke
Kinhyahun pragata na karana tehi
Asa kahi carana gahe baidehi
Binaya prema basa bhai bhavani
Khasi mala murati musukani
Sadar siya prasad sara dhareu
Boli gauri harasu hiya bhareu
Sunu siya satya asisa hamari
Pujihi mana kamana tumhari
Narada vacana sada sunci saca
So baru milihi jahi manu raca
Manu jahi raceu milihi so baru sahaja sundara sanvaro
Karuna nidhan sujana sila sanehu janata ravaro
Ehi bhanti gauri asisa suni siya sahita hiya harasina ali
Tulasi bhavanihi puji puni puni mudita mana mandira cali
This devotional composition carries an ancient poetic resonance. Every verse reflects the grace of Goddess Parvati and fills the worshipper with peace. The stuti deepens the spiritual quality of the vrat.
When the worship and story are completed the aarti becomes the moment when the heart expresses its devotion in its purest form. The rhythm of the aarti creates an atmosphere filled with light and serenity. It lifts the mind into a state of reverence and gratitude.
Jay ambe gauri maiya jay shyama gauri
Tumako nisidina dhyavat hari brahma shivari
Om jay ambe gauri
Manga sindura virajata tiko mrgamada ko
Ujjvala se dou naina candravadana niko
Om jay ambe gauri
Kanaka samana kalevara raktambara rajai
Raktapuspa gala mala kanthana para sajai
Om jay ambe gauri
Kehari vahana rajata khadga khapparadhari
Sura nara munijana sevat tinke duhkha hari
Om jay ambe gauri
Kanan kundala sobhita nasagre moti
Koti candra divakara rajata sama jyoti
Om jay ambe gauri
Canda munda sanhare sonita bija hare
Madhukaitabha dou mare sura bhayahi na kare
Om jay ambe gauri
Brahmani rudrani tuma kamala rani
Tuma hi jagaki mata tuma hi ho bharta
Om jay ambe gauri
Caunsatha yogini mangala gavai nrtya karata bhairun
Bajata tala mridanga aru bajata damaru
Om jay ambe gauri
Agama nigama bakhani tuma shiva patarani
Bhuja cara ati sobhita khadga khapparadhari
Om jay ambe gauri
