Q1: Can I sing this Aarti if I am not initiated? Yes. Dattatreya is the Guru of all, regardless of caste, creed, or initiation status. He accepts pure devotion.
Q2: How many times should I sing it? At least once daily. On Guru Purnima or Datta Jayanti (the full moon of Margashirsha – December/January), sing it 11 or 108 times.
Q3: Is there a specific flower for Lord Dattatreya? Red flowers (Hibiscus) and Agasti flowers are preferred, but any flower offered with love is accepted.
Q4: Why are dogs mentioned? Lord Dattatreya is often accompanied by four dogs. Symbolically, they represent the four Vedas. In practice, it teaches us to treat all beings, even "unclean" animals, with compassion. jay yogeshwar bhagwan aarti lyrics
जय योगेश्वर जय अड्या शक्ति, जय जय अम्बे जय जय भवानी || (टेक)
जो कोई इसे गावे, भक्ति भाव से गावे | उस पर कृपा करे अम्बा, विपदा सब टल जावे || जय योगेश्वर..
तेरा ही सहारा अम्बे, जगत में मेरे मात | तेरी शरण में आया हूँ, कर दे कल्याण रात || जय योगेश्वर.. Q1: Can I sing this Aarti if I am not initiated
तेरे भक्ति रूपी सिन्धु में, लागी है मुझे प्यास | कृपा करो जगदम्बे, आज बुझाओ मेरी आस || जय योगेश्वर..
माता तू है दुर्गा, माता तू ही काली | तू सरस्वती, तू लक्ष्मी, सब विद्याओं की माली || जय योगेश्वर..
धुप दीप नैवेद्य, साजन में सिंगार | भक्त जनों की आरती, स्वीकार करो मात || जय योगेश्वर.. He accepts pure devotion
Victory to the Lord of Yoga, victory to the Lord of Yoga, victory, victory to the Lord of Yoga. The one who wears the sky as his garment (Digambar – naked, representing formlessness and transcendence), the auspicious Digambar, the Avadhoota (one who is beyond all rules and attachments).
Tradition holds that this Aarti was composed by Vasudevananda Saraswati (Tembe Swami), a great saint of the 19th century. Another legend states that the Aarti was revealed spontaneously to a devotee of Shri Swami Samarth of Akkalkot, who was unable to find words to praise the Lord and was given this hymn in a dream.
Regardless of its origin, the power of the Jay Yogeshwar Aarti lies in its repetition. When the sound wave "Datta" (which means "given" or "the one who donates") is combined with "Yogeshwar," it creates a resonance in the Ajna Chakra (third eye), awakening intuition.
