Vani Devi sings the
Devi Arati. You can find it in Yoga Vidya Kirtan booklet under the number 314 . Devi Arati, beginning with Maiya Jaya Mangala Murati, is a wonderful hymn for the worship of the Divine Mother, Amba Gauri, the radiant Divine Mother. This song is typically sung at the
Arati, i.e. at the light ceremony for
Durga, Kali, Devi,
Lakshmi, Saraswati or Parvati. But you can also sing the song like a kirtan, like a bhajan just like that. Sing along and let your heart be touched.
Here is the text to sing along:
