Dear Parvati ~ below is an Arati for Diwali that I found on About.com. If there is anyway to show this to someone at the Mandir who understands Sanskrit and who could provide a translation, I would love that. I would very much like to chant this during Diwali (Deepavali), but it would mean more to me if I know what it means.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 HAPPY DEEPAWALI. MAY IT BRING JOY, GOOD HEALTH AND WEALTH TO EVERYONE! Here is a free translation of the Aarti. I hope it will be useful.: "Victory to Mother Lakshmi, Mother, victory to Mother Lakshmi You are worshipped everyday by Shiva, Vishnu, Vidhaataa Brahmaani, Rudraanii, Kamalaa, You are the Mother of the Universe You are worshipped by Sun and Moon, Rishi Narada sings your praise Your Durga form always gives wealth and happiness Whoever worships you gets wealth of divine powers You pervade nether lands too, and you bestow all the good things You are giver of the fruit of all actions, you are protector of world treasure In whichever house you live( are worshipped), all virtues too come there to reside A man is able to do what he could not (do before), and He is never perplexed or overwhelmed Without you there can be no oblation (or religious sacrifice), (and) no one can get (even) the clothes to wear The grandeur of food and feast, everything comes with your grace Good virtues, beautiful house, milk, curds and progeny Gems, jewels, every thing are you, no one can get anything (without your grace) Whoever sings the Aartii of Mother Lakshmi Is filled with ecstasy of bliss within and all his sins disappear" MAY MAA LAKSHMI BLESS US ALL!!
