Offer the Light of Devotion To the True Guru
Avatara Arati Karu
Aaratii karu sadguru kii karu
sadguru ki pyare guruvara ki
sadguru ki pyare guruvara ki
Aaratii karu guruvara kii
Jaya gurudeva amala avinaashii
jñanarupa antara ke vaasi
Paga-paga para dete prakaasha
jaise kirane dinakara ki
Aaratii karu guruvara kii
Andhakara se hame nikaalaa
dikhalaaya hai amara ujaala
Kaba se jaane chaana rahe the
khaaka suno dara-dara kii
Aaratii karu guruvara kii
Karo krpaa sadguru jaga taarana
satpatha darshaka braanti nivaarana
Jaya ho nitya jyoti dikhalaane
vaale liilaadhara kii
Aaratii karu guruvara kii
Om chaitanyam
shashvatam shantam
vyomatitam niranjanam
Nada-bindu-kalatitam
tasmai shrigurave namah
Translation:
Let me offer the light of devotion to the True Guru.
Hail Divine Love-Bliss, pure, indestructible,
dwelling within and without in the form of true knowledge,
illuminating every step like the rays of the Sun.
Let me offer the light of devotion to the True Guru.
This Love has led us out of darkness; this Love has shown us the immortal flame.
Listen, for so long we were fools going from door-to-door just picking up dust.
Let me offer the light of devotion to the True Guru.
Give us Your Grace, to help us transcend the world.
Show us the one true path, dispel all illusory ideas.
Hail the one who has revealed the eternal Light and whose Existence is beyond the play.
Let me offer the light of devotion to the True Guru.
Om. The Guru is Consciousness Itself,
eternal, peaceful,
beyond time and space, stainless.
He is beyond the divine sounds and stars in the subtle abode of the Cosmic Mandala.
I bow to that Guru.
DA
