Aarthi addressed to Mother Goddess

Aarthi Saraswathi ji ki (Hindi)

Aarthi Sri Saraswathi ji ki 

Translated by P.R.Ramachander 

( I found this prayer in Hindi in a small book published by B.M.Praminder Publications, Delhi -51.Aarthis are sung before the gods/goddesses in Hindu homes/temples in North India.) 

1.Om Jaya Vinee vali , maiya , jaya Veene vali, 
Rhidhi , sidhi ki rahthi , hath there thali 

Om Victory to the one who has a Veena, 
Oh Mother, Victory to one who has the Veena, 
By your blessings , growth and power always exist. 

2.Rishi , muniyon ki budhi ko shudha thu hi karthi, 
Swarna ki bhanthi Shudha thu hi karthi. 

You make the knowledge of sages and saints pure, 
You make them as pure as gold. 

3.Jnan pitha ko dethi , Gagan Shabdha se thu, 
Viswa ko uthpanna karthi , AAdhi shkthi se thu. 

You give wisdom to the father by the sound in the sky, 
And you create this world with your primeval power. 

4.Hamsa vahini dheejai , bhiksha darshan ki, 
Mere jag may keval , icha darshan ki 

Oh Goddess who rides on the swan, 
Give me the alms of seeing you , 
For in my mind there is only, 
The desire to see you. 

5.Jyothi jagakar nithya, yah aarthi jo gave, 
Bhava sagar ke dukh mein, Gotha na kabhi khave. 

After lighting the lamp daily , 
He who sings this prayer , 
Would never suffer the tosses , 
In the ,ocean of sorrow of birth. 

Annapurna devi aarthi (Hindi)

Translated by P. R. Ramachander
Bharambhar pranaam maiya, Bharambhar pranaam,
Jo dhyave thumhi Ambike, kahan use vishram,
Annapurna devi naam thiharo, leth hoth sab kaam,
Pralaya yuganthar aur janmanthar, kalanthar thak naam,
Sur surom ki rachanaa karthi, kahan Krishna kahan ram,
Choomhi charan chathur chaturanan, charu chakradhar shyam,
Chandra chood chandranan chakar shobha laghi salaam,
Devi deva dayaneeya dasa mein, dhaya dhaya thab jama,
Thrahi, thrahi saranagath vathsal, sharanaroop thava dhaam,
Sri hi sradha, sri iye vidhya, sri kallee kamal kaam,
Kaanthi bhaanthi mayeekaanthi shaanthi sayovar dethu nishkaam.
Again and again, I salute you, mother, again and again,
He who thinks of you Oh goddess, where is need for rest for him,
Take the name of Annapurna and all your jobs will be done,
Till the deluge, from time of birth and from the beginning of time , your name,
Would compose the music of Gods and where is Krishna, where is Rama,
Your feet are kissed by the four handed Lord Brahma,
And the pretty black God who holds the holy wheel,
The great God who wears the moon is getting his brightness by saluting you,
Oh Goddess, in bad straits the devas are gathering your mercy by praying you,
Please save me, save me oh Goddess who loves those who surrender to you,
For your temple is nothing but the great personification of your devotees,
She is the only attention, she is the only knowledge, 
Her job is to make this Kali age blossom like lotus,
Oh goddess who is like light, please give me the light of peace and make me without work
